The best I've found are Steel Blue. More comfortable than sports shoes. I wear em at work and at home.
Next best for me are Redback.

Steel blues.A great boot.I wear Redwings myself.Very comfortable but short lasting.At $280 a pair,they are purely status symbol.

Google
Steel Blue Boots Melbourne

or email Steel Blue and ask em for stockists in your area.

They're pretty easy to get in Brizzie, probably easier in Melbourne.

Probably find that your local BOC store carries them. Steel Blues that is.

Well I don't think you can go past Oliver All Terrain. High boots to stop saw dust getting in your socks soft chusioned soles padded at the top Made in Ballarat. 2nd best $35 I have spent in recent times. They were seconds I imagine they are very expensive retail.

Most "safety" shops carry the main brands.

I can recommend both Steel Blue and Wrights Workwear.
I wear Steel Blue at work, even though I don't really need steel caps, they are more comfortable than normal business shoes.

Wrights in E Ringwood and Hallam are now owned by Yakka according to the dockets they issue so you should not have a hassle getting Yakka from them. At worst they will arrange next day transfer from the other shop or from warehouse. They still stock a wide range of brands.
