In the world of safari and rugged travel, your choice of footwear is foundational. At Safari Collection, two heritage icons lead the field: R.M. Williams and Blundstone. Here’s why they deserve a spot in every adventurer’s lineup.
R.M. Williams: Australian Mastery
Founded in 1932, R.M. Williams built its reputation crafting one-piece leather boots—minimal seams, full-grain leather, and comfort that moulds to your foot.
- One-piece design. Fewer weak points, fewer breaks or repairs.
- Premium leathers. Hand-selected, naturally durable, and later refinable with care.
- Classic silhouette. Sleek enough for town, rugged enough for bush.
These boots pair beautifully with breeches, rugged chinos, or tailored safari pants—combining purpose and polish.
Blundstone: Workhorse Versatility
Hailing from Tasmania, Blundstone’s elastic-sided boots are beloved for their ease, durability, and comfort.
- Slip-on convenience. No laces—great for quick transitions.
- Shock-absorbing midsoles. Designed for tough terrain and long walks.
- Varied styles. Explore rugged leather or hybrid designs suited for urban and rural use.
How to Choose & Care
- For long walks or game drives: R.M. Williams gives support and longevity.
- For light wear or lodge leisure: Blundstone offers flexibility and casual ease.
- Maintenance: Clean, condition, and let dry naturally. Use appropriate leather conditioners and waterproofing for longevity.
Pair either with Merino wool or technical socks, and always rotate your pair to let each rest. Your boots become more than gear—they become trusted companions.
