Choosing the Right Work Boots for Your Job

Your first consideration for worksite boots will be what level of toe protection is mandated for your job. If your job requires you to wear steel caps, it’s best to go direct to that range since your options will be limited. Beyond that, you will want to decide what fastening style is best suited to your needs. 

Boots such as the Bobcat/Safety Bobcat are fitted with dual-sided elastic gussets for a quick and easy off/on process. The Cobar combines laces with a side zip, so you can adjust the fit and still slip out without unlacing. The Everest range is fitted with a classic adjustable lace-up style so that they stay secure. 

It is always worth double-checking product specifications against your workplace requirements.

Consult your work’s guidelines to ensure the boots you’re considering meet their requirements. Also consider the fit, and under what conditions they will be used. 

Are Redback work boots made in Australia?

Yes. Redback’s work boots are 100% made in Sydney. 

Are Redback work boots waterproof?

Most of our range is water resistant to varying degrees, but if you require full waterproofing, it’s best you make sure you check the specifications on the product listing.
