[QUOTE="Nuggetbuster, post: 654099, member: 4013"] Redback here, as well. No metal in the non-steel toe ones, so perfect for detecting. Definitely great grip. Very comfortable. No synthetic lining inside, so the feet can breathe well. Made in Australia, too (unlike a lot of the other "Australian" brands that are now made overseas (eg. Blundstone, Oliver, Rossi...) Not saying that those other brands don't make good boots, but I remember feeling misled when I bought my last pair of Oliver boots maybe 10 or 15 years ago. Massive sign hanging from the ceiling of the store that read something like, "Oliver Boots. Ballarat." Well, the tag on the boots indicated otherwise, and a quick call to Oliver confirmed that they no longer made them in Australia. I got a refund and bought the Redbacks. A shame, as the Oliver boots were great. [/QUOTE]
