Which Redback work boot suits you
If you are not sure where to start, the Bobcat is the one most people picture, and the one most people buy. Derby cut, elastic sided, thick full grain leather over a flexible wedge sole, and available with a steel cap or without.

The Whistler sits on Redback’s slimmer Rider profile and reads more like a Chelsea boot, which makes it the pick if you want one pair for work and the drive home. The Lynx pairs a YKK side zip with lacing and a composite toe, so it is the lightest way to get certified protection in this range.

The rest handle wet and variable conditions. The Everest is a lace-up with Puma Aquapel leather and a full bellows tongue, the Cobar adds a fast-release side zip to a Wheat Nubuck upper, and the Nevada takes the same water-repellent leather in a pull-on. If that everyday, casual pull-on style is what you're after, other popular brands are available in our elastic-sided boots collection.

Redback boots sizing start at a 2AU/UK and while they are in men's sizing, women typically go down two sizes when wearing men's sizing specific boots.
For exact measurements please refer to the specific size chart found on the product page or if you would rather shop women's specific footwear, head to our Women's safety boots or Women's non-safety boots collections.

Choosing between steel cap, composite and soft toe Redback boots
Steel toe - Styles include the Bobcat safety and suit work sites that have certified safety footwear requirements

Composite toe - Styles include the Lynx zip sided and lace ups and suit those that require safety protection without the metal. Metal free safety footwear is useful for workers that require regular use of metal detector screening such as airport, security or rail personnel.

Soft toe - Styles include the Bobcat, Whistler, Nevada, Cobar and Everest and are perfect for light farm or rural work, transport and everyday wear when a safety toe protection cap is not required.

Certification for safety footwear is listed on each product page, if your workplace or site requires specific protective footwear such as composite toe or metal free work boots and you are undecided on style - head over to our composite toe work boots collection to check out brands including Steel Blue, Oliver and Blundstone's composite toe work boot ranges.

Insoles, socks and boot care
More cushioning underfoot is easy enough, because XCEL comfort insoles drop straight into any pair. Past that, a tin of conditioner from our boot care range and a decent set of work socks will do more for how long a pair lasts than anything else you can buy.

Frequently Asked Questions Abut Redback Boots

Are Redback Boots Australian made?

Redback has made its boots in Sydney since the brand was established in 1989, drawing on family bootmaking that dates back to the 1920s.

What is the difference between the steel toe and composite toe Redbacks?

Both give you a protective toe cap. The composite toe in the Lynx contains no metal, so it is lighter and will not set off airport or rail screening. The steel-toe Bobcat is the more economical option when screening is not a factor.

Which Redback styles have no safety toe?

The Bobcat soft toe, Whistler, Nevada, Cobar and Everest are all non-safety. They suit farm work, driving, warehousing and general wear where a toe cap is not required.

Do Redback boots need breaking in?

Less than most. The wedge sole styles are flexible from the start, and the leather moulds to the foot over the first few weeks rather than fighting it.

Are there women’s Redback boots?

Redback does not make a women’s-specific boot. Sizing runs on one scale starting at AU/UK 2, so the smaller sizes suit a lot of women. If you want a boot shaped for a woman’s foot, our women’s slip on safety boots range covers that instead.

Can I try Redbacks on in store?

Yes. The range is stocked at our Chatswood store, and the team can check the fit and talk through which style suits your work before you commit.
