Dealer boot recommendations?

[varta330]

Looking for a pair of soft toe dealer boots, no safety toe caps needed.
Must be comfortable and hard wearing, not going to be wearing them as a fashion boot! I've used Redbacks in the past and rated them but was wondering if there are cheaper alternatives out there.
What do other forum members rate?

Trickers, but you'll need a mortgage!

Doc Martens are my favourites.

Not cheap but always good value in the long run, I reckon

You are not kidding!
£846!!! (Whole pounds, no decimal point! )
Several times the price of DMs.

Pardon our interruption...

Good boots, but not dealer boots (country version of Chelsea boots)

These look ok but do they last in farmyard conditions. I'm not looking for smart , fashionable dealer boots, rather something akin to use in the stables, etc.

I've had Blundstones, Redback and Rossi over the years. They have all had their good and bad points and all seem to have declined in quality as they became more of a fashion item than a work boot.
Current ones are Hard Yakka and I am actually impressed with them, certainly holding up so far after having been worn all day every day on the farm since late April. It's a non cowshit farm though (makes a difference if you didn't know).

Hi whats the sizing like compared to redbacks? Another Australian company are Mongrel, they fit very wide in the toe box but can become loose at the heel.
Hard Yakka are cheaper than their competitors .

Just had a size 10 same as all the others, fit the same.
Oliver is another brand that often gets good reviews.

Sling back wellies….. kidding.

Brandecosse. Great boots and not too expensive….

 

[varta330]

Personal preference of mine........don't ever buy dealer boots with only pull tabs at the back.
