Description:
The Redback Whistler Iron Bark is an Australian-made leather Chelsea boot with a slimmer, dressier profile than Redback's work boots. Its Iron Bark leather blends earthy green, brown and grey tones, and a full leather lining, elastic sides and a lightweight PU and TPU sole make it comfortable from the workday to the weekend. It is a soft toe boot made for everyday, travel and smart-casual wear.
Key Features
- Iron Bark leather: a textured leather in green, brown and grey tones inspired by eucalyptus bark that pairs with jeans, chinos or tailored trousers.
- Full genuine leather lining: gives the inside a soft feel and adds to all-day comfort.
- Three-piece leather upper: creates a clean, streamlined Chelsea silhouette.
- Elastic-sided pull-on design: slips on and off without laces.
- Lightweight PU midsole: provides cushioning without the bulk of a traditional work boot.
- Durable TPU outsole: offers flexibility and dependable traction.
- Removable closed-cell PU footbed: an anatomically shaped insole that adds supportive cushioning and can be taken out.
