Kings 15-480 type 1 elastic sided steel cap workboot discontinued
Can anyone please tell me if there is a replacement model and if so what is it please? I discovered I'd left my main workboots at home when I went to load so ran into Big W at Sunshine to get a cheapy pair just to keep me going a few days until I got home again to grab my boots. That was the best part of 15 year ago. They are the only steel cap boot I've ever been happy with. very comfortable and long lasting. I'm only looking to replace them as they are getting sloppy around my ankle and the rubber is starting to fall apart. After nearly 15 years they have done an outstanding job. My first choice of boot, would much prefer these over blundstone, redback etc etc

Hardly got them out of the box...
Hardly got them out of their box before something on them broke. While tying the laces, a rivet sheared and blew off a lace eyelet on the bottom boot in the photo. Was quite disappointing considering these are very comfortable boots. Thought mine was just an outlier, but coming here I see this might not be the case.

Soles disintegrated.
Purchased 12 months ago, used for the first time yesterday and the soles fell apart. Don’t have receipt anymore so probably can’t get refund or exchange. Absolute rubbish boot.

Worst boots yet
I've been buying and wearing Oliver boots for over 30 years except for a couple of years when 3 pairs delaminated the soles. Since being made in China they've got worse and worse. My last pair I'll ever buy completely blew out along the side even though the soles show little wear and the ball of my right foot felt bruised ever day, due to complaining about the last couple of pairs I didn't want to hassle the guys I bought it from, but never again will I buy your at zip up sides or any other boots from Oliver.
Update I also forgot that the othe...

Warning, Avoid, Trash, Unwearable
I have been buying oliver work boots yearly for over 20 years until now, Worst customer service known to man. My new boots over $200 have lasted less than a short month.
Would only buy them for my worst enemy.
Front rubber sole has peeled away from the boot like a banana.

Oliver Gumboots Cracking
Have had the gumboots for the last 6 months wearing them at most 3/4 days per week. They have started to crack on the top just below the steel cap Thought i would give them a go but think i will just go to blundstone or bata. they last longer at least and around the same price.

Something changed
Always had Oliver ATs, they were fantastic. I was in need of a new pair so I reached straight for the trusty Ollies and... There is something NQR. There is a weird bar or something at the ball of the foot that I don't remember being there in other pairs. The boots are otherwise high quality but dreadfully uncomfortable to the point of unwearable. Goodbye Olivers!

Not good for bricklaying trade
Had the boots for 9 months and wore for 5 months, the soles have separated from the boot.
Took them back to the store and was told because it’s over 6 month period not under warranty.
The boots were supposedly chemical and water resistant but is not covered when working with mortar.
Questions & Answers
I thought the warranty on $190.00 boots was for one year. I have had better boots bought at half the price that were better in every respect. Will not buy your Chinese low quality boots for half price. You need to increase quality before you have such a bad name your sales drop off. Would not recommend your boots to anyone.
Could someone please advise where Oliver boots are made? I believe the company is headquartered in Ballarat, and my current (ancient) pair of Oliver boots were made locally, but some reviewers have made mention of the quality slipping 'since manufacturing moved offshore'. I don't want to pay premium prices for goods made in workshops that underpay workers. Thanks in advance.
They have been made off shore for many years so not sure why people say since going off shore ? Steel blue, Blundstone, cat are all made off shore mongrel partly made here, better to try or ask a ...
Read moreworkwear shop what has the least amount of warranty claims and what feels most comfortable really . If Oliver, steel blue and Blundstone were made here they would be about $300 a pair rather than $200Thanks for the answer. I called Oliver direct and they confirmed that ALL their boots are now made in China. After further research, I found that Mongrel boots are still made in NSW. I ended up buying...
Read more a pair for $170 and they are excellent. Very pleased to be supporting local manufacturing and I don't mind paying a bit more to do so.Whats happened to the soles of the Oliver Work boots? They are still the most comfortable work boots to wear, but the soles don't last long anymore. We live in far north Qld, so the boots are being worn on the farm in tropical conditions & the soles start to fall apart & then just disintegrate at about 6-12 months old, while the upper boot is still perfectly good & just got worn in to the comfortable stage.. This has happened with the last 3 pairs I've had!
Not happy!!!
