Description:
The Redback Lynx Wheat is a lightweight lace-up composite toe work boot with a side zipper for quick entry and exit. It pairs an ASTM F2413-18 certified composite safety toe and protective scuff cap with a military-inspired slip-resistant outsole and a water-repellent nubuck leather upper. It suits mechanics, automotive technicians, warehouse staff, and tradespeople who want safety-toe protection without the weight of steel.
Key Features
- Composite safety toe (ASTM F2413-18): impact protection that is lighter than steel and does not conduct heat or cold the way a metal cap does.
- Lace-up front with side zipper: set the laces once for your fit, then use the zip to get in and out quickly during the day.
- External scuff cap: reinforces the toe, the area that wears fastest when kneeling or working under vehicles.
- Military-inspired outsole: roughly 30% more ground contact for traction, slip resistance, and stability on changing surfaces.
- Flexible wedge sole: bends with the foot to help reduce fatigue over long shifts.
- Nubuck leather and tactical textile upper: a sanded full-grain finish with a water-repellent treatment, combined with breathable textile panels to keep weight down.
- Redback Rebound footbed: a podiatrist-designed footbed that adds responsive cushioning and support for long hours standing and walking.

Sizing
Redback is an Australian brand, and the Lynx is made in UK sizes. Our size menu lists the US men's size first, with the UK size shown in parentheses. To convert, US men's size = UK size + 1, and a women's US size is roughly the men's US size + 1.5 (for example, UK 7 = US men's 8 = about US women's 9.5). If you are between sizes, contact us before ordering and we will help you choose.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Redback Lynx a safety-toe boot?
Yes. The Lynx has a composite safety toe certified to ASTM F2413-18, plus an external scuff cap over the toe.
Does the Redback Lynx have a zipper?
Yes. It laces up the front and has a side zipper, so once the laces are set you can zip in and out without re-tying.
Are Redback Lynx boots waterproof?
The manufacturer describes the nubuck leather as water-repellent treated, not waterproof. It sheds light moisture but is not rated for standing water.
How do Redback sizes convert to US sizes?
Redback uses UK sizing. Add 1 to the UK size for the US men's size; our size menu shows both.
