00:00Just outside of Adelaide, in a quiet industrial pocket, is a workshop that's been doing things
00:04the authentic way for decades.
00:05Come with us as we take a look inside.
00:13The boots made here aren't just something to be worn, they mean more than that, to the
00:17wearer and to the people who make them.
00:20I've got that pride, I've got that craftsmanship, so much effort goes into it.
00:25That kind of pride doesn't happen overnight, it's built year by year, and passed on even
00:30through families.
00:32You've been here for how long?
00:33It'll be 18, 19 years.
00:3518, 19 years, incredible.
00:36My son works here, when he first applied for his job, no one knew he was my son, so I
00:42thought
00:42that was pretty cool, because when he got the job, he did it on his own merit, I was so
00:46proud
00:47of him.
00:47Nice.
00:48Sorry.
00:48No, he was.
00:49That was great.
00:50That's lovely.
00:54There's not too many footwear factories left in Australia.
00:58The company's such an iconic brand, it really means a lot to me.
01:01I try to reinforce that, and my team's being proud to make Iron Williams boots.
01:05It's the boot that represents so many different things, from the farmland right through to
01:10the city man who wants to dress that next level up.
01:13In time it's become more than a boot, it's a symbol of Australian identity, worn by icons
01:18across the world.
01:19Our most favourite was Casey Stoner.
01:21He was coming through, and I was like, oh my gosh, and everyone's like, are you okay?
01:25I said, I have to go and say hello.
01:27So I went up and said hello to him.
01:28I said, my husband is going to die.
01:31Kevin Bacon.
01:32Okay, you'll be Kevin Bacon first.
01:33Not really.
01:34I just saw it and thought, he looks really good in those.
01:36Yep.
01:38It might be easy to feel enamoured with the stars who wear them, but after spending a day
01:42in the workshop, it's clear that the people who make these boots are the reason they've
01:45stood the test of time.
