Reply to comment by Rand1fs in BIFL Farm Boots that I can beat the hell out of for years to come by Lance2020x

Same! I grew up on a farm using rubber boots (literally woke diapers and rubber boots around the farm) so when I got settled down on my own land I naturally went looking for good rubber (thus, xtratuf), but now that I'm farming regularly I realize I just need a good solid leather pair... I keep reading about Redback but wanted some more opinions.

​

Now that I have my own kids, I think my parents just put me in rubber boots so they didn't have to drop tons of money on leather shoes every time we grew. But I have so many vivid memories of horses stepping on my toes, peeing in my boots, etc. rubber is not always the way to go :-D

Id recommend any of the pacific northwest brands. Ie, Nicks Handmade Boots, Whites, Franks. I can only speak for nicks customer service but as a nobody I was still EASILY able to get in contact with the owner of Nicks Boots on questions about there boots. I recommend nicks overall from my experience

I’m a farmer and my redbacks have treated me real well. Two years in them, still comfy and barely any wear. Cheaper than blundstones and a better work boot.

I do love my blundstones for town and daily use tho, they have a lightness and style that beats the redbacks

Redback was owned by blundstone, not sure if that’s still the case. I’ve had both, both are excellent.
