Australian work boots - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Australian work boots (or generically elastic-sided boots) are a unique style of work shoe, typically constructed with a leather upper bound together with elastic sides and pull tabs on the front and back of the boot. |
 | | In Australian English, the manufacturer's brand name is often associated generically with this style of boot, leading to the names Blundstones or Blunnies, RMs or Redbacks. |
 | | The shoes are typically worn as safety boots in occupationally hazardous environments, as ordinary work boots for people whose work is occasionally hazardous and who need to enter hazardous sites, as formal dress boots, as riding boots, or for particular aesthetic purposes. |
