Which model did you get?

[@snaps6113]

For women buyers, just beware that the provided AU-US size conversion is actually a mess. It shouldn't be US -3 = AU (as stated in the video), or US-2.5 = AU (as shown in Redback official site), because if you do so it is guaranteed to be extremely tight. Unless you enjoy your feet being squeezed and confined all the time, you should go with the US -2 = AU sizing strategy (which is what Dr Marten sizing is, and note that UK size = AU size). Ironically the men's size conversion is accurate. I went through a very painful processes to figure out my size. Though the boots themselves are very comfortable, I am very disappointed to Redback not offering absolute cm-based feet size in their size chart, and messed up women size conversion.

[@dawn1one]

The women’s sizing is innacurate.

Best boots ever. I've had a pair for 2yrs. Super comfy and soles have hardly worn out. The uppers I've given a hard time as work boots. I've tried all the makes over the years. Don't mess out just get a pair. Just get your size they will fit.

I mean...the website had all three sizes listed, Australia, US and Canada. Wasn't an issue at all. Just ordered some yesterday and I cannot wait to get my comfortable boots! Been wearing doc martins to work and they are giving me sore heals (plantar fasciitis). Rose Anvil said this was the most comfortable boot he's ever worn and helps with the soreness.

[@Caspian_77]

Did you end up liking them? Considering getting some Redbacks

[@OfDeath]

@@Caspian_77 YES I DO! I wear them everyday! Made my foot pain completely go away and after a long 8-10 hour shift my feet still feel good to go. Seriously buy some! I will probably be wearing Redbacks for the rest of my life. I wish they had more stylish boots with the same comfort though. I got the easy escapes. Best boot I've ever owned. I recommend getting some moleskin to help break them in.

Hi Gordon, so glad to hear that Redbacks have helped your son! Our boots do offer incredible support. And look good to boot! At this time we only offer the pull-on series in Canada.

Please listen to this and not Reddit, mine are 2-3cm too long (11.5) since Reddit said size up for boots and size up for Redbacks, they still fit well and don't slide but I'm a little concerned cause I'm still breaking them in and unsure if the (unsuited) arch support will continue hurting my ankles and heels I took the gamble and listened to Reddit since they're usually right when it comes to random things like this, also I have other shoes that are 11UK and are a little small but also 9 which fit perfectly (both similar Nike models)

[@chillpengeru]

Did you ever figure this out? I'm normally an 11.5, I was thinking about getting these in a 12.

[@HaddBradd]

their size guide seems accurate and I should've stuck to it (I picked 11.5 instead of 9/9.5 because Reddit basically said go 2 sizes about normal/US which was a bad idea lol), Redback uses UK sizes so 0.5 only adds 5mm width and nothing to length (changes them from a G to I think H width) 11.5US would be 10/10.5 for Redback length, would suggest get the wider ones and larger ones (so 11.5UK) if you ever plan on wearing 2 layers of socks, better to be a little big than small. They allow returns but won't refund postage costs (roughly £22/$29 for me if I used Evri) Mine don't cause pain despite being 2 sizes too big for me and they are noticeably slidey with one thin sock layer though but still comfortable and BARELY slidey with 1 pretty thick layer. They don't feel fully snug until like 3 pretty thick layers (which is excessive for where I live) If possible try find a local store with them (there's not much)

[@jaystavros7177]

They’re water resistant. They do make one model that’s “waterproof” but I’m not sure if that also means the elastic is waterproof. Typically these are submersible until the point where the elastic begins. That’s where the water will seep into the inside of the boot. That belying said, leather will soak in the water and eventually it’ll make its way into the boot through the sides as well.

Excellent video. By far the most detailed description on how the boots fit. Question if I may ask. I try the 5.5 soft toe Easy Escape. The length is fine but my heels come up a little bit when I walk. Should I get size 5 instead?

[@joeyc8622]

No

[@orlog3343]

It’s called heel lift and it’s normal (within an inch or so) it slowly reduces as you break them in but should never completely go away. It’s an important part of the walking motion

[@hillbillycustom1730]

I have a pair and have wore them just a hand full of times and the sole are coming off

[@testticklehead]

Really? I have done a lot of research on these boots since I'm on my feet all day and need a comfortable yet durable boot. Almost every review, forum, and video talks about their durability. Most of the reviews are from blue collar workers that use them everyday and they say they last for several years. Maybe you got a defect?

[@adrianmark613]

I have one inch space at the front. Is it too long? Because the side are perfectly fit

[@redbackbootscanada8348]

Adrian, with the toes touching the front, you should have one cm at the back of the boot max.

[@shawngalbraith6499]

Just got a pair and wore them on a hike (first time wearing them) and they gave me blisters on my heel. I'm hoping this is just part of the break in process. Is this typical? the length/size seems to be appropriate.

[@yngturk734]

Yeah these boots were confusing for me. I got a size 11 they were too roomy, then got a size 10 and were way too tight.

[@javatherus170]

Sizing doesn't make sense. So if I am a half size US, like say a 10.5 US and your telling me that the UK sizing is 1 size lower, that would make it a 9.5 UK. Then your telling me that a 9.5 UK is just a 9 UK, just wider. That would mean that I am going from a 10.5 US to a 9 UK, a 1.5 size difference. So basically the 9.5 UK is the size I would get if I was a 10 US (wide). How the heck does this make any sense? Should I instead size it as if I am an 11 US and get the 10.5 UK???

@@masonhill4065 the problem with anything going from a US half size to a Redback size is that there isn't a match. Half sizes in the US are longer then the whole sizes as well as wider but the Redbacks are just wider. So a US 10.5 will be longer then a Redback 9 or 9.5 but shorter then their 10 or 10.5
