The Redback Boots Blog
New For 2026
Plenty of good stuff in development for 2026!
Continuing on their long standing heritage, Redback Boots are in the process of developing several new boot styles and several new colour ways for their existing ranges. That is, not to detract from their original ranges which still make up the vast majority of their products but more to provide greater variety for their long-standing and returning customers! Redback boots will always be about Australian grit and determination!
We would also like to give an honourable mention to the new "Whistler" boot, the new smart dress boot from Redback. Designed as a more elegant counterpart to the original work boot range. Paired with smart jeans or trousers, these really do look the part and they are available in three striking colours.
Finally, we have several new "Redback" accessories currently in development which will be released in the next two months. Lots more coming for 2026!
Thanks for your interest in Redback Boots.

What is hydrolysis and how can i prevent it?
Redback soles are made with (TPU) thermoplastic polyurethane. The use of this plastic/rubber material in making shoe soles is beneficial in many ways; it is durable, resistant to chemicals, high temperatures, oil and solvents. It also provides plenty of traction and impact absorption making being on your feet all day more comfortable.
There is however a downside to using this excellent material and that downside is a process of deterioration called hydrolysis. This is why we always recommend keeping your boots dry and in a cool, well ventilated area and that you wear the boots on a regular basis. Hydrolysis occurs when water molecules are trapped within the TPU substrate and are unable to escape. The physical action of walking (compressing and flexing the rubber) helps release the water molecules from the TPU. If water molecules accumulate in the TPU, chemical deterioration is also accelerated. In extremis, this can result in TPU failure in the form of crumbling or splitting. These issues are not generally covered by our warranty hence why we emphasize the importance of regular cleaning, drying and maintenance of your Redback boots.
So to summarize, if you keep you boots clean and dry and you wear them regularly, they will last a really long time. We have many customers returning to us for their second pair of Redback boots after five years or more. We have seen plenty of good examples lasting over 10 years.
Thank you for your time.
