I finally received my purchase after 10 days of waiting. This is not my first pair of RDT boots, but procuring a pair of RDT boots is highly tricky unless you travel to Tokyo to the boutique itself. The products on their website are snatched immediately once they are put online. Therefore, I resorted to purchasing through urahara.com even though it is slightly pricier than purchasing directly from their website. In fact, I have been waiting and checking the urahara's website on a daily basis to grab the pre-order item for my size. It was an impulse purchase when suddenly this STAN boot was available on the website. I had to grab it immediately. I have a great passion for anything handmade in Japan, so this boot tells its all, the craftsmanship, the material, and the fitting (true to its size) both aesthetically and functionality. I have to warn Malaysian purchasers, you have to bear the 10% tax on top of your paid price, but still, it is worth it. Now I am a proud owner of the pair. Thank you Urahara team.

I had been looking for a pair of boots as a point of difference to the usual RM's that get worn around here in Melbourne and i came across the Rolling Dub boots. A little bit more over my budget but i thought i'd have a look.
I would check the website every couple of weeks as they mentioned *pre order* on the website. When i was in a position to purchase these boots, i called the shop and was pleased to know they had them in stock.

Im usually a US size 9.5 - 10 but after trying on these boots i went for a UK size 8. The quality of these boots are outstanding and being a 'work boot' they are slightly heavy. With these types of chelsea boots, they need to be a little bit snug as there are no laces obviously. The size 8 has enough wriggle room for my toes but the width was quite tight and i expected that to stretch out over time. After the first couple of days of wearing them for a few hours i thought i made a grave mistake and should have gone up half a size more to a size 8.5 as i was getting blisters and wearing thick socks to assist in stretching the boot. I persisted by wearing them every couple of days for a few hours per day. Now after 2-3 weeks of having these boots, they have turned the corner! They fit like a glove and i cant wait to put these boots on and show them off! The only way to wear these boots in is to wear them.

You would be kicking yourself if you dont try on these boots as an option. Much prefer over those locally made RMs that are saturated in Aus.
