Rossi Boots

I always had Rossi boots also, for working in though. That was until we were supplied with Steel Blue workboots, nothing comes close to them for comfort. Good to see Rossi has upped its game.

G'day Matt,
good to see you supporting an Aussie manufacturer (and a 3rd generation family-operated business at that:))

I'm a very satisfied Redback wearer myself (also made here by a family-owned & operated business:)), though SWMBO has a pair of Rossi 'lastic sides for gettin' 'bout the bush;-)

me...the Rossi Raptor

Rossi Eagle for me. Bought them in 1993 and had them resoled a couple of years ago. Onl;y wear then when going bush.

Me, I went for some Mongrels with lace up and zipsiders. Getting in and out of them is a breeze, no need to undo do up laces, just the zip. Their brilliant.

I work offshore in the Oil and Gas Industry and we are issued Blue Steel high tops , the best boot I have ever worn even have a couple of pairs for round the block....cant go wrong

Same here with Rossi Mulgas, last set lasted well over 10 years, had another 2 custom made from the factory in SA in my size, as they didnt do that size anymore.
Cant speak highly enough of their boots, or their assistance.
I either wear the mulgas, or occasionally the steel caped versions.
no other footwear for me.

It's all about fit isn't it.
I had a pair of Blundstones (non lace up work boots) but they always rubbed me the wrong way. Next time I wanted a pair of non laceup style boots I was a bit hesitant to try again
In the end I decided to go for it so tried on some Mongrels, liked the feel but they didn't have them in my size. Tried a pair of Rossi ones and they were perfect. Rossi Claret I believe, best pair of boots I've had to date, they took a little getting used to because they didn't have such a padded feel compared to the Steel Blue lace ups or my other shoes....5.10 Loafers. But no rubbing and comfy enough to wear all the time.
The Steel Blue lace up work boots feel reasonably comfy, they are slightly big for me so not perfect and not sure I'd be confident on taking them on a long hike or something like that, good for bush work though.

If I'm after a pair of good lace up walking boots I'll certainly give Rossi a consideration, otherwise I'd probably go for Five Ten (aka 5.10) because they make great MTB Riding shoes!
