    Over priced exploitation of an Australian icon. Product copy cat products will make hay.

    Matter of individual taste is like having a like or dislike for a singer. It can not be argued over, personal taste.

    Ironic boots that will never see a days hard yaka. Make sure they are all slip on as those buying them cannot tie laces.

    I am Italian, being in Australia for 7 years and I own 2 pairs of RMs, a craftsman and a lace up Rickaby... As a Cobbler myself it saddens me to see RM Williams coming out with what is basically a glued on cup sole boot, especially at that price. It's a disgrace

    Lower the cost, higher the profit will be. However, many brands have disregarded (or took risk of loss of) customers. Some will have paid through this, others probably changed brands as many firms have elected China for dirt cheap production. Reality in economics of business at their peril.

    'Common man' also have their passion for say high priced vehicles, brand watches or pricey leather jackets --although they are saddled with high mortgages and low pay--. Many would not be rich enough not to buy inexpensive, say over each year or so @ cheap prices. Owners of RMs will insist that their boots are best by none, with high level attachment to them.

    The reason I buy RM boots in UK is the ability to re sole and re heal the leather soles. If they change that they'll lose me as a customer.
