R.M. Williams

In its nine decades of existence, R.M. Williams has become one of the best-known – and best-loved – footwear brands in the world. Originally built for men and women of the rugged, unforgiving Australian outback, our iconic one-piece leather boots have gone on to grace the feet of millions of people, including some of the most famous on the planet. 

In 1932, our founder, Reginald Murray Williams AO, CMG began to make bush saddlery and boots for sale, while camped at Nepabunna, in South Australia’s remote Gammon Ranges. Here R.M. first met ‘Dollar Mick Smith’, an itinerant saddler. The two men after much trial and error were able to fashion a pair of stockman’s riding boots. Over 85 years on, R.M. Williams continues to make world renowned boots, accessories, and men’s and women’s apparel that are purposefully designed and sustainable to enjoy on life’s adventures. 

Today, R.M. Williams has 65 retail stores in Australia, 2 stores in New Zealand, 3 stores in the USA and 3 stores in the UK as well as over 900 stockists around the globe. R.M. Williams is a global company, yet will always remain passionate about the Australian bush.
