Redbacks are less expensive and better than Blundstone, but they lean toward a workboot look, if you are trying to avoid that. I don’t have Silvas, but I like my other BS boots quite a lot. However, my experience was 2 to 3 months of wait time.
Nice review! May have to snag a pair. Just like my Higgins Mills with that soft sole, I'll just replace with a vibram when it wears down. Not even a full resole, just a swap so it's fairly cheap.
@StrayReviews if boots are totally blown out or wore down, they may need a new leather midsole, or even a new welt. So that's much more in depth. Welt, stitching, hot cork, leather midsole, then new outsole. But if you're just replacing an outsole on new boots or a pair is just a little worn down, they can just remove and glue on a new outsole without needing to redo stitch work or the leather midsole. That's my boot Ted talk lol. Good stuff, man.
Damn these boots look pretty good. I’ve never considered these type of boots before. I have some of their sneakers and belts though. Both are high quality leather. Just don’t like the wait time… rest review as always.
The blundstone Chelseas are over rated. They do not hold to the quality that is expected for the brand. Im not a fan of Chelsea to be honest but my wife is. Ill be looking at these for a woman's boot for her. They would be great for her when camping
@@StrayReviews i bought a pair of doc Chelsea for my wife at Christmas. Shes never paid half that so they were a big step up for her and she loves them. Now im trying to get her to buy something a little better
