Rigger Safety Boots (steel toe/steel sole insert) a good few pairs at a time, to keep the postage low per pair, from E-Bay.
Probably seconds due to a discolour in the leather, so you'll need a good pair for going out .................... :joyful:
But at £15 a pair, we'll live with that ..............
Get about 2 years out of a pair, we were buying locally at £45 a pair and found they were leaking even in damp grass.
If there is a down side you need to keep them tight on your feet even as they get older for good support, dual socks ........
Are the Redbacks not more of a Wedding/Funeral/Dressy boot?

No, you need a pair of RJ Williams for that :)

My first pair of Redbacks so can't comment on wearing life, butvI can say they are the comfiest boots I've ever had for work
( and if the OH's dog hadn't chewed the tag off, the easiest to get on as well!!!!)

Got some Redbacks a few weeks ago, based on what a number of people wearing them have said. Very comfy, definitely more so than the Dickies/Hogg/Buckler ones I had before. (y)

German army paratrooper boots!

High lace up so excellent ankle support.

Waterproof.

Astonishingly comfortable.

£50 from army surplus store five years ago, with many years wear left in them. Worn most days in summer.

Fantastic (y)

Hardly any good for paddling about in sludge and muck though. Or are they?

Well they do alright for me, mixture of mud, horse pee and sheep muck to contend with.

Cant fault the dealings I have had with countryside supplies, but for anyone who prefers a lace up to a slip on, I got @Landyman a pair of the Lace up Redbacks from Everything Australian, http://everythingaustralian.com.au/shop-by-brands/redback/work-boot-lace-up-uabk-black.html delivered in less than a week.
