Collection: Boots

A Radical Yes boot is a cornerstone of a well-considered wardrobe. Our approach to design is a "radical" departure from the over-production of fast fashion. We operate on a 26-week seasonal cycle, which gives us the time to refine every detail, from the pitch of the heel cup to the placement of pull-tabs. As a self-funded and family-owned brand, we follow a "little and often" ethos, producing in small quantities to avoid material wastage and ensure superior quality control (QC). This intentional approach means our boots are built to be long-term investments, not just seasonal trends.

Many of our boot styles come with a removable insole and an additional 4mm memory foam fitting stabiliser; we suggest experimenting with these to find your perfect fit. Alternatively, you can swap these out for orthotics if needed. Our boot styles that do not feature removable insoles instead have a 4mm embedded memory foam footbed for ultimate comfort underfoot. If you are wondering if a particular style has a removable insole or not, please check the product description for a detailed rundown of the key features of the style. You can also use the filter functionality on our website and filter for shoes that have removable insoles. Many of our boots can easily be slipped on, often featuring a functional pull-tab to help slip your boots on and off. Many of our boots contain a zip closure instead for a sharp yet functional take on the silhouette. 

To maintain the longevity of your boots, we recommend a proactive care routine. During our monthly "Full Moon" care ritual, clean and condition the leather to keep it supple and weather-resistant. We also strongly advise rotating your boots by wearing them every other day to allow the materials to breathe and the internal cushioning to recover. By choosing Radical Yes, you are supporting a North Melbourne brand that values independence, curiosity, and the grace of a perfectly made flat boot.
