Redback UBBK Easy Escape Slip-On Soft Toe Black Work Boots Redback Boot Size UK8 5 US9 5

Best mechanic boots very comfy and light. I wish it was good year welt. Had mine for almost 2 years and I had to retire them because the soles wear down. (I walk 10 miles on uneven rocky ground for work.)They are really good. The uppers are fine. Now I just use them as regular boots Read more

This is the BEST boot for working on hard floors. Fire station, machine shop, assembly line, this is what you want if you have to stand on concrete all day. Everyone at my work wears them. I've worn these for over ten years now. Both the steel toe and non-steel toe versions are great and fit the same. These are sturdy boots. Mine have survived multiple harsh chemicals, and I especially like that the pull straps last the life of the boot, which is helpful since the size is actually stitched into the rear strap. Nice! THE INSOLE All these boots come with a very thin cloth insole. But there is a second, thick, leather/rubber insole available, that does not come with this boot. That insole isn't available on Amazon, only on the Redback website. YOU WANT THAT INSOLE. That thick insole is key to sizing and comfort. If you are just replacing another pair of these same boots, and already have one of these insoles, just reuse it, they last forever. But if this is your first pair, I recommend getting that thick insole at the Redback website, or get them at a local store. (The steel toe version of this boot shows a picture of this insole, but it's not included.) SIZING This is the sizing method used by the store clerk to size everyone in our shop. These boots work best when bought one size larger, and then use the thicker extra insole and thicker socks. So, first of all, get the thicker insole that Redback makes for this boot. (Available at the Redback website) Next, get your accurate shoe size. Don't use another shoe for sizing, either use a real shoe sizing tool (Wallmart) or measure your own foot and use an online foot gauge to translate to the correct size. Then, go UP one size, so size 11 US becomes size 12 US. Lastly, Redback uses Aus sizes so when ordering, pick the correct Aus size to match the increased US size. Example: Foot measures 10 15/16 inch, this is size 11 US, now INCREASE ONE SIZE to size 12 US (room for extra insole), last step is to translate size 12 US to size 11 Aus. The extra insole is important, so if this your first Redback, get the extra insole from Redback or buy them at a local store. Read more

Let me first say that I think these boots are going to be really great. I just got them yesterday, so I will update in a few months after I’ve had a chance to break them in and wear them. The sizing is incredibly confusing. I’ve also discovered that these boots run large. I wear a women’s size 11 to 11 1/2. Originally, I ordered a pair of Redbacks that have a size 9 on the cloth tag at the ankle. According to the size chart, this would have been a US 11 womens, or a 10 mens. I tried them on though, and they were huge. I decided to return them and bought an 8.5 Australian. I took out the insert and put in a pair of Dr. Scholls gel inserts to make them more comfortable. I’ve been wearing them around the house and they are comfortable, but I can tell they definitely need to be broken in. I am wearing them with a thin wool sock. I don’t plan to wear these for work in the winter and snow unless I can get a heated insert in. My plan for these is to keep them as more of a fall/summer/spring work boot. Read more

My husband previous pair lasted over 3 years. He’s an auto mechanic and extremely hard on boots (and clothes). The boots are oil resistance, water resistant, shock resistant. The daily lower back pain he was experiencing is relieved. They are perfect in N summer and keep him warm in winter even though they aren’t insulated. Other expensive boots he’d wear out the soles in a month. Value for the money is worth it. He’s spent twice as much on boots that lasted only a few months. Customer service was spectacular. I was confused about the sizing. My husband’s old boots had a size 13 tag. So I ordered a size 13. He is a size 14/15 in US sizes. The boots I received has a size 12 tag. Customer service went above and beyond to remedy the problem. Make sure you order your actual size. A booth with a size smaller will arrive. That’s the difference between US and UK sizing. I knew I needed a US 14/UK 13. So I ordered what I thought was the UK 13 and a UK 12 arrived (which is s US 13). Read more
