Yeah Blundstones used to be made in Australia and were high quality. They developed a huge following globally.

At some point they changed the design, and moved manufacturing to cheaper 3rd world countries.. yet the MSRP didn’t reflect the companies vastly increased profitability.

Consumers are finally catching on, and switching to similar styling, but old school quality. Apparently RedBacks are still decently made.

It really surprises me how folks are still praising the Blundstone brand, a lot of people don’t like redbacks because they’re bulky and not stylish - though I think they look pretty cool
