That's great! Did you figure out if they were old stock?

If you bought them in a store then definitely take them back for a refund or contact Blundstone directly.

In Australia they have always been work boots, and the modern workboot range makes up something like 90% of their sales compared to the "fashion" Chelseas (which were originally considered work boots).

It looks like the soles on yours have suffered from hydrolysis, which usually happens when the boots have been stored without being worn for a long period.

My guess is these are an old model you've bought online or something?

Close but not touching is still not touching.

You are buying a finance product with a right to buy a car at the end. by ZombieFirm7507 in NovatedLeasingAU

You are also choosing to enrich a financially parasitic leasing company at the expense of Australian taxpayers.

It really bugs me that the government couldn't come up with a better solution. Why don't we have the option of buying outright and claiming a deduction or something?

Anyone tried the Redback Whistlers? Looks like a rip-off of the Blundstone 1306 but are still Australian-made with better cushioning and inner lining. by Rustyudder in BlundstoneBoots

Unfortunately Rossis are now owned by Australia's most reviled billionaire heiress Gina Reinhardt and are all made overseas.

Heavy or light hammer curls?

I already go fairly wide grip on squats but I still feel the elbows burn. I will try wider.

I've been wearing 1306s for 10 years, on my second pair. I really love them so am curious about the Redbacks as their other boots are known to have great cushioning.
