Yesterday I bought the Church's Ryder III for shipping to Australia from matchesfashion.com
They are currently marked down to $360 AUD (£200) however I was also able to use the extra20 code for a further 20% reduction even though they are not advertised as accepting it and it wasn't accepting it 2 days ago.
So they came down to $288 AUD (£154) - free shipping here over $300 AUD.
They still have some decent sizes left and if you're signed up with Cashrewards.com.au (Australia) you'll earn 4.9% cash back of the purchase price. If you're in Australia let me know I can refer you and we both get $5.
Or if you're in the UK you'll get 4% with Quidco.com if you're in the UK I can refer you to Quidco and we both get £5 so extra savings
Hope it helps.

The total cost for California was under $250, which included sales tax. Best of all, free returns if it doesn't fit.
However, I did see that they also have the Chetwynds on sale (that I also already own), so if you want that GoldenEye look......
The Chetwynds are only available in G, where it is explicitly stated. I couldn't find it for the Ryders either, quite annoying for them to forget such an important piece of information.
I've ordered a pair and when they come will compare to my C&J's etc F width to help out with sizing.
Mine will arrive on Monday I will confirm width.
They are normally the standard price and I hadn’t seen them in their sale before so I don’t think they are “clearing them out” either way I’ll confirm.
I have the Ryder 81’s with the crepe sole in F which feel marginally tight so I’d be happy either way.
Best thing about them is being Goodyear welted so the soles can be replaced. They should wear incredibly well with a general clean every now and then.
My Ryders after a couple of years of hard wearing. Just brought them to the cobbler for some new heels.
Mine should arrive tomorrow. I ordered a 11uk, I am a 11.5-12us. I will let you know.
Generally if you're a 12 US you would get an 11 UK (but sometimes an 11.5 UK). I have found the Ryder to be a wide shoe, and going a full number down from my US size meant the shoe was too large because it is wide, but down another half size for me was too short. If you're not used to Church's, you may need to try a few sizes to see which (if any) works for you.
As for the boots themselves, I am a torn.
I think they look great. I love the chocolate brown suede and the rounded toe.
I ordered my usual 11UK. i am a size 11.5US with a size 12 arch length (short toes). I have wide feet with a high arch. It was frankly quite difficult to get my feet into the boots with the socks I wear with sneakers. I had to use a shoe horn as the vamp is verytight when putting on the boots. It was a little easier with thinner socks, but not much. Once on there is plenty of room in the toe box. It is a bit wider than my Loake Kemptons and Herring Canterburys (both 11F), but tighter in the vamp. I don't see how I could have put on an 11F in the Ryder even with bare feet. The heel felt pretty good. Not tight and not loose.
The length is very much true to size and I like the extra width. However, they are heavy boots. The Dainite soles look twice as thick as those on most of my other chukkas. I'm not sure if I can wear them without insoles for comfort, but with insoles I may not be able to get them on at all. I will try them on again with my boot insoles and see.
On Monday I may have to contact MatchesFashion for a return authorization.
