Why so cheap a customer asked? Compared to RM Williams .. let me explain.....

by Julie Mandic January 24, 2025

Currently, between $199.00 (ladies style Jillaroo) and $359.90 (men), our Macarthur boots are so considerably cheaper than RM Williams kangaroo boots, that customers have asked: 'Why so cheap'? Too good to be true? Well No, so let me explain.

Mandic Shoes has been producing footwear in Australia for over 60 years. It's only been in the last 10 years that we have had to move our manufacturing plant to India.

Our factory there uses all our tried and true last fittings and patterns ensuring that these boots are the same fit and suit our Australian feet.

Mandic Shoes have however introduced a range that uses a different construction technique, say compared to the RM William Goodyear welts which retail at 699.00!

We wanted to offer you a lower-price alternative, in a boot that is just as good in providing you style, comfort, and most importantly durability.

The R. M. William price is unaffordable to many so we wanted to offer a product that was as high in quality, using Australian kangaroo leather.

So came the Kangaroo Collection by Macarthur. Made with a cement construction using pure rubber soles and leather board heels, These boots can be resoled and reheeled as needed. If cared for and maintained, these boots can also last for many many years! I have old customers who have been wearing the same boots for over 20 years!

The price is 50% LESS and you will still have a boot that uses a tough and soft kangaroo leather that lasts a lifetime.

Welt construction, for the urban wearer, can be overkill so you are paying a premium for a construction technique that you don't need if you are using these for a dress or lightwork boot.

Try a pair of Macarthur Kangaroo Collection boots - ladies and gentlemen - you will not be disappointed!

Don't pay $699.00 when you could get 2pr of the price of one by Macarthur for the same price! (Both Mahogany and Black colours are available).
