Until you try a pair of rm Williams.

Still liking my Redbacks especially at this time of year
I didn't know the Oz brands had made much of an impression in the UK.
RM's are a frightening price down under - what do you pay for them?
Redback elasic sided are my daily wear - I get funny looks wearing them in the tropics!
A warning though, the urathane soles are long lasting, but step on ice and it's like greased steel.

Oz and kiwi brands are huge within the farming world.
Rm Williams boots are anything from 2-3 hundred quid depending on which ones you get.
Redbacks are popular as are blundestone.
Then we have ringers western
Brumby
Hard Yakka and bisley shirts.
Kiwi stuff we have swazi,ridgeline, kaiwaka,swandrii that I can think of.
I love the cotton work shirts you guys have. Far superior to anything in the UK. But I get told off as the hi Vis ones are the wrong shade of yellow.

Need to replace my work boots my haix have been decent and lasted a few years, will probably go again with the same or if they have a new version. Any other recommendations? Seen a pair Strauss ones that look decent and have a boa system rather than laces

Anything Strauss is usually pretty good. There composite toe caps are great in the winter and are genuinely waterproof and stay waterproof

Apparently there no sort of warranty with Straus? Haix are 2 years, to be fair these have done over 3 years but stitching has gone in the side, to be fair they have done well as don't look after them well, don't do any sort of maintenance or treatment on them

Boa laces are great. No snagging the bow or hands so cold you can't tie them. Great product whoever thought of it.

My golf shoes have got it, nice and easy and also seems to actual tighten along the whole lace system rather than just the area past the end of the laces
