Id claim them, I came from a Trade background and all you have to do when audited is be able to explain why you needed them for your work (I know as ive been audited more than once)
One of the years I had purchased really nice dress shoes, Claimed them on Tax, was audited and I showed how the company has work functions (at places like crown, etihad etc) and we have a dress code and are required to attend.
Auditer was happy with that (even showed a photo of me wearing them)
There was some things i should not have claimed but did, when audited they said i couldnt claim them, I agreed and paid the difference. Not that big of a deal if they reject the claim.

RM do a nice “ security scan” friendly & oil resistant, non slip sole, specific to aircrew ops, definitely ATO tax deductible! Aircrew discount was available( pre covid?) if purchased at airport?

I assume everyone here has seen it already, but I'll post the ad just in case:

Are the comfy? No
Are they durable? No. I am on to my fourth pair in addition to numerous resoles etc.
Are they ridiculously overpriced? Yes.
Would I be seen in public without them? NO! They are probably the most all round shoe I can get that fits me. Work, Dress, semi casual, pub after work, Whatever.
Worth ordering them in Kanga. Same price and softer, more durable leather

You need to wax them if you want them to last. Just rub Dubbin into them every few months and they will last forever.

Not claimable, they are not a safety boot, ie steel cap, nor does your role have requirement for such.
However claim them, you will get away with it and if by some rare reason you don’t, apologise and give the money back. You are only stealing from thieves anyway. My craftsman’s are 18 years old. Smooth soles = Less stones carried onboard.

At the prices they are charging for RM Williams, I'd be saving them for special occasions rather than wearing them to work. If you want to try claiming your footwear I'd suggest you buy it from a specialist work wear shop. A receipt from King Gee or Hard Yakka, claimed as a work expense is much less likely to attract attention,
