Leather Imported Synthetic sole Shaft measures approximately 6 from arch Platform measures approximately 1.00" Made in Australia Elastic sided ankle boot (7 inch) All leather 3 piece upper Full-length footbed and arch support 3 layer reinforced heel for comfort and support Built to last. This Aussie made work boot constucted from 2.5 to 2.7mm thick leather is 20% stronger than normal work boots and well over minimum international standard. The full chrome, oiled tannage means your boots are more resistant to hardening and cracking and hold their shape longer. Redback boots are made by the traditionally prefered cement lasted method whereby the leather is wrapped under the insole and fused under heat and pressure with high tech Polyester and Polamide molten sealant/adhesive. The Anatomic sole profile is designed to reduce arch flexion (sagging), subsequent foot fatigue and referred leg and back ache.

Love these Aussie made boots for their comfort and longevity! 5days a week, 10 hours a day on concrete in a bakery! 1 year work life then retire them to garden shoes! Bloody winners!!

These boots are stable, comfortable (wide, fits a human foot), and obviously well-made. I’m comparing these with Blunnies, these have a much higher quality of build. Quickly became my go-to boot, and I will order another pair of these ever wear out. They are all the good things. Sizing is quirky, so if you have questions about it, go by the website or call customer service. I ordered by the size on the website, they came marked as something else, and ended up fitting properly. Go Australia!!

Sizing is confusing when ordering. Boots are Australian manufacture with one size difference from US. Ordered 10.5 which is what is marked on my old boots . I wear US 11.5. They sent me 9.5 boots. Too small. I have returned them and waiting for correct size. I did reach out to Gall and they said to order by my US size, but it took them several days to respond and my order had already been processed.

I’m a diesel mechanic and work 15+ hours a day on concrete on my feet, up and down, I also must add I have a fused ankle and never have found a boot that supports or don’t hurt my feet. With all that being said once they are broken in they are the most comfortable best wearing boot I’ve ever owned. All the other top brand boots usually only last me 3-5 months and kill my feet, knees and back. The last pair of these lasted me 4 years through the heat, oil, grease, and all other chemicals that’s in a shop. I highly recommend these boots if you are on your feet.
Great boot, very comfortable. The initial wear-in takes a few days of all day wear, but after that, you’re golden. Easy slip on and off, not a lot of arch support, but definitely one of the most comfortable boots I’ve ever wore. Galls was extremely quick on shipping this item, I believe it was same day. Overall, great value and experience.
The boot is, I'm sure, super comfortable, well built and will last a long time, depending on use. But even if you're hard on boots, it takes a lot to wear them out.The reason I say "I'm sure" is because Galls shipped me the wrong size. And they're out of my size until June. And no one answers the phone at the local store. And it took several tries and a long time explaining being put on hold just to get the answer that they are out of stock. That deserves one star. But, Galls said they would make it right, that's TBD.But I can speak with knowledge, because I own three other versions of this boot. The Puma Brown Aquapel, the Outback, and the Bobcat Claret Oil Kip (this is the exact same boot as the black one reviewed here, just a different color.

The Puma Brown Aquapel, the Outback, and the Bobcat Claret Oil Kip (this is the exact same boot as the black one reviewed here, just a different color. I've had that pair 5 years- still going strong, water still beads off).Check out "Blundstone Killer" boot review online by Rose Anvil. He literally saws this boot in half so you can see how it's made. He has access to wear all kinds of boots, and he rated this one as most comfortable of all.Standing for 10 to 12 hours on indoor floors, concrete or asphalt? No problem. I've stood even longer than that with no foot fatigue and no burning feeling at the ball of your foot.Walking 8 to 10 miles a day, at times carrying a load? No issues & feet feel springy at the end of the day.Standing outside in hot sun on pavement over 100 degrees? No problem, these soles are rated to 300 degrees F.Inclement weather? No problem. Especially if you treat these before wearing with Obenauf's leather protection, the water beads right off. The Vulcan sole will never let water between where the shoe leather meets the midsole. I re-reat them whenever sun, dirt, etc. breaks it down and it stops beading water. Never had wet socks. Just don't go into water deeper than the side stretch panels-those are not water proof.So while Redback can't claim these as "waterproof " because there is no liner, I'm telling you, with treatment, they are. I know some guys that don't treat the boots and they still don't get wet feet. TIP: I wouldn't use any petroleum based, mink oil, snow seal or animal-based leather treatment because that will deteriorate the leather where it meets the Vulcan sole.Also because you don't have a liner, they breathe better and are far more comfortable in warmer temps. My feet don't get hot ! In summer, I wear Danner Hot Weather TFX Drymax black crew socks. For colder temps, I wear wool socks.Caveat: I wear Hapad Comforthotic (Athletic, green color) insoles vs. the insoles that come with the boots. The stock insole is pretty chintzy, without a lot of support. Redback knows this and offers a better insole. I tried it, but it's not as good as the Hapads.Hapads are inexpensive; have great arch & heel support/cushion; have a slight more padding just in front of your metatarsals (ball of foot). This subtle "metatarsal lift" takes the brunt of the G force with every step you take - relieving your metatarsal from the full impact of each step. Your feet will impress on the Hapad insole, making it your custom-like orthotic. These help with plantar fasciitis, too.For sure, even without better insoles, this boot is still far more comfortable than any work boot I've ever worn.I asked, and these have a no slip rating and a safety rating. You can call the USA Redback distributor to get a copy. I needed a shoe with a safety rating for a job and these were accepted. www.redbackboots.com is the distributor.Yes, I'd recommend you try them.
Verdict is still out on the boots. But they seems good. However, the sizing is a pain. But the suggested appropriate size, and they were like wearing clown shoes. Returned them for one size down, and they are darn near too small. Just be aware sizing is goofy.
I got two pairs fir my husband for Christmas. He has worn these shoes for several years as work shoes. He worked for the fire department as a firefighter and paramedic for 25 years and this was the uniform work shoe. He doesn’t want to wear anything else now. He just put a new new pair on this morning. Love them will be ordering more when he needs them! Good buy!
Great Low Price on a Beautiful Made Boot. Made in Australia which is a Good Thing I Like about these Boots. The Leather is In Perfect Condition. The Removable Insole is of the Highest Quality. You can tell that there is Many Layers of Cushioning used in Making these Boots. The High Quality Sole has Many Griping Grooves. I think the Sole will not wear fast. Once you get your foot into the Boot and Start Standing and Walking you can tell that these Boots are Very All Day Comfortable. I wear them every day for 6 hours and my feet never hert. Easy break-in Boot. The Elastic Sides Hold your Foot Secure in the Boot. It also makes getting in and out of the Boot Very Easy. No Laces to Tie or Replace. Strong Elastic Material. Inside Lined Boot.
love these boots. Have had them for over a year now. They are comfortable and durable. I will order these again when needed. The band at the top takes a minute to break in so be patient its worth the wait
