I have to use steel/composite safety boots, so those are the only ones that can speak about.

I’m hard on them at work, so I can definitely vouch for them. I’m sure the other styles are just as good.

Best of luck.

Edit: At the same time, Blundstone warranty department is definitely amazing. The replaced it without issue. So there is that at least. But I still prefer my Redbacks.

2 years ago, I bought a pair of Redbacks and Blundstones to compare them.

I’ve had Blundstones before and enjoyed them. I did find that there is usually a 2-3 month break in period. There isn’t a break in with Redbacks.

That pair of Blundstones was replaced through warranty after 18 months as the leather had cracked. My Redbacks still look like new.

Blundstones are not good winter boots. They don’t have the best traction. Redbacks on the other hand are much more robust and have great traction in the winter.

With that being said, I really like both and would be content with either. However, my Redbacks are just so comfortable.
