How can you tell if work boots are Australian made?
The great news is there are a few ways to tell if a product was manufactured in Australia:
Australian Made, Australian Grown (AMAG). The easiest thing to look out for is the iconic green triangle which is usually on the website or on the packaging of the product.
Location of factories. If you can't seem to find the AMAG logo, you can also check out the "About" section of the websites as it usually explains where the products are made. This is most common with smaller businesses.
Reputable websites. We suggest checking out the Australian Made website as its database lists all the businesses and products that are confirmed to be made here.
Why buy Australian made work boots?
One of the biggest reasons to buy Australian made is the standard of quality. And if the leather is also locally sourced and handmade, you can expect those work boots to last a lifetime.
In saying this you'll also be boosting the local economy, supporting small businesses and can expect faster shipping times (forget that one-month wait from overseas).
Are Australian made work boots more expensive?
We do find that Australian made boots are a little more expensive due to the nature of their creation. In some cases the boots are still being handmade and so costs need to not only cover the high quality leather but the workmanship. It's also a big plus knowing that you're buying into a brand that ensures the Australian workplace health and safety standards are being met.
Though you may pay a few extra dollars, you won't be paying for any international transaction or shipping fees, or high returns costs, and you will know that ethical standards are being met.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of banks, insurers and product issuers. We value our editorial independence and follow editorial guidelines.
finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product or service.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan.
Products marked as 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money here.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
