Redback Company History

Redback work boots were first designed in 1994 offering something different than the run-of -the-mill steel cap boot. A red velcro strap replaced laces and became an Australian icon, becoming synonymous with redback boots. In 2007 Jager took over redback from its parent company ANKH International which has been manufacturing footwear since 1985. Redback strives to produce quality footwear at a value for money price by continually putting customers needs first and listening to feedback from customers on how to improve their range of redbacks.

– Redbacks are made in Australia

– Redbacks provide ankle support and comfort/fit

Reviews from the Australian Metal Detecting Forum: “Oliver’s are damn near bomb proof.”
“Oliver’s AT 45645 and wore them for the first time yesterday. They are brilliant. Very robust and very comfortable. I only wore them for the 2nd half of the day, being new, but could have worn them all day. No steel what so ever. Bit expensive at $175, but these things are made to last.”
