    As an Aussie I used Redbacks as a kid (back in the 90’s 😅). I watched the video about your criticism about Blundstones which have been my favourite work boots for years. Watching this video convinced me to go out and order a pair, who outta thought a North American UA-camr would convince me to purchase a boot made in my home country. Love this channel ✌🏽

    Just a small correction to boot sizing. The half sizes for redback are actually the same size as it's whole number counterpart, but it's the wide version. So a size 9 and size 9.5 are the same length, but the 9.5 is wider and has more room above the foot. Anyways, thanks for the review!

    When I was in the US Navy I wore boots exactly like this except they were black and steel toed. They were only available to E7 and above and officers, we called them Chiefs boots. I was lucky to get myself a pair of somehow. They were better than the normal boots that we were issued because they did not have any laces and could slip on quickly. I still have them in a duffel bag somewhere.

    They look like a really good quality boot and I’ve heard nothing but good things about them. My only problem with them is their aesthetics. Love the traditional upper look but the soles look a bit too much like an industrial boot for me. The clear sole and trainer like air pockets make these a bit too difficult to wear in anything other than an outdoor situation in my opinion. I know people often tip these as a better alternative to Blundstone, but I think the Blundstones look a more stylist boot and it’s probably why they are so popular. I will definitely keep an eye on this brand though and hope they bring out more options in future. Great review, thanks for sharing 👍🏻.

      I think you nailed it. They don’t have the sleek profile of a more dressy boot.

    I been interested in these boots for a while. The sizing worried me. There are no retailers near me to try them on. After watching your video, I decided to take a chance. Amazon sells them but doesn't explain size difference . Says 8.5 fits 8.5. Surprisingly, Ebay does a much better job at explaining proper sizing. Went ahead and ordered them with some trepidation because seller didn't honor returns. If the size was wrong, I was stuck. When they finally arrived, they fit perfectly. They are very comfortable and look great. Thanks for explaining the sizing. It was extremely helpful.

Now i where an 8.5 normally . I ended up with a UK size 7. There's an Ebay site called Odds and Ends that pops up when you search the shoe. The site posts a size chart for help. When i got the shoes, they they fit length wise, but were a little bit roomy other wise. A Doctor Scholls insert fixed that. Nice and snug now. Litterly feels like sneaker. Great boot.

      True, it is a decent wad of cash. But you’re right, I flew through several pairs of more inexpensive boots before settling on my ONE pair of red backs.
      For the price, they stylish and could be worn to the store, or a date at night. They’re more versatile than tie down boots.
      Also, I think people really under estimate how good Redbacks help you feel. They save your posture, thighs, ankles, and even upper back. They are so bouncy and allow you to take bigger steps. The comfort helps me stay in a GREAT MOOD while at work even 8 hours in. Which translates to better sleep.

    How long does it take water to penetrate the elastic webbing? This is the main thing bugging me about these, don't plan to stand in a stream with them, but want them to handle the occasional mud and puddle splash.

    • @GentlemansJourney
      @GentlemansJourney  2 роки тому

      It’s funny you ask because right after I did that I’m boxing portion I ended up getting these completely bogged in mud because I got my truck stuck in mud. I can’t remember too much about that situation But I don’t recall much mud or water getting through the elastic webbing. I think they’ll handle the occasional mud and splash very well. 🥾🥾

      @@GentlemansJourney I’m also being converted (blundstone for dress!) if only it were easier to get ahold of all these boots rn for fitting. If anyone else is having that issue I’ve surmised that my size is the same in both Blundestone & Redback (not sure if the steel toe will shift that), both are a half size down than regular measurement expectations- but Blundestone dress series requires sizing another 1/2 size down or inserts bc the toe box is longer & it’s trickier to fit but way more versatile than the other styles (which if you’re going for round toe seems u should go Redback)

    If it helps anyone....I wear a 12 (US) in everything, so I ordered a size 12 (US) Redback Great Barrier steel toe. Beautiful boot, but it was quite a loose fit. Turns out my coworker went though this (because Redback has so few US stores) and had a pair of 10.5 (US) AND! 11.0 (US) that didn't fit him (he ended up with a 12 US). I tried on his 10.5s and 11.0s and while they both fit quite well, the 10.5 US really felt good even though I normally wear a 12 US in everything (including Red Wing). So, Im down a size and a half for a good fit in Redback. I hope this may be helpful to someone. Thanks.

      Hey so I have the station boot(for work) which is the black version of the fall brook, it’s a solid boot so far but the insoles didn’t last too long. After 6 months the insoles died(chunks of the heel cushion coming out), the leather is holding up decently, the soles are starting to wear down and is gettting close to wearing down to the foam on the edge of the heel. Not as comfortable as my thorogoods. I’ll have the try the higher tier models because it seems like from the sound of things that their significantly better, just wish they had comp toe instead of steel.
