In 1932, Reginal Murray Williams founded his eponymous brand in Adelaide, South Australia, offering saddles, riding boots and other leather goods for cattlemen. The boots, in particular, were a hit. Made from a single-piece leather upper, they had a clean silhouette, a simple pull-on style and superior durability. And over the past eight decades, the design hasn’t changed much. That bodes well for anyone looking for classic, heritage-level boots, especially when they’re discounted by 20 percent.

In recent years, however, the brand received investment from L capital — a private-equity fund sponsored by LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy) — along with IFM Investors and Hugh Jackman. The influx of resources and capital has allowed R.M. Williams to expand on a global scale, offering its iconic boots to a much wider audience. You can pick up a pair at Shopbop, where a handful of the classic Chelsea boots are now 20 percent off during the retailer’s Style Event. Just use the code STYLE to get the deal, which saves you nearly $110 on a pair of boots.
