Redback work boots vs Blundstone boots reviews

Fitting and Sizes - Redback boots tend to have a wider fitting and are bigger sized than Blunstone. With Blundstone and most other boots you normally have to order a size up for a good fit, but with Redback most can simply order in their current shoe size. In addition, if you have a high arch, Blundstone boots may compress the top of your foot and make my toes go numb or cause friction sores. If you like to wear cushion insoles then there will be more room in the Redback books, many customers use Dr Scholls inserts with no issues.

Durability - Redback boots are incredibly durable in addition to being incredibly comfy, plus they offer better arch support than Blundstones. There are also numerous reports of the soles on Blundstones disintegrating within a couple of months and the uppers starting to crack, in general redback wins in terms of customer reviews for durability, though both are premium brands and last better than most boots on the market.

Breaking In -  Although Redback boots are more comfortable for most after they are broken in, the break in isn't as quick or easy as with Blundstone boots.

Grip - once again the Redback boots have the edge with that strange blue sole which offers good grip on all surfaces. Grip on the Blundstone is not bad, but the Redbacks are better.

Price – this varies but on average the Redbacks are slightly cheaper, though it is possible to find cheaper Blundstone boots from some authorised resellers online. Neither boot is cheap however, so look out for genuine sales at local stockists and online retailers.

Quality - hard to find bad reviews for Redback boots, customers really love them! There are plenty of good reviews for Blundstones too, but also plenty of bad! The quality on Blundstones seems to be "patchy", some customers are seriously impressed, whereas others are scathing about the quality and blame it on far east sweat shop labor!
