Love that Aussie Rossi 900

Testimonial
sent to Rossi Au from a Sugar River Outfitters’ Customer: 

I just wanted to let Rossi know how happy I am with their boots. I purchased my first pair of Rossi 900 Forbes about 1-year ago from Sugar River Outfitters. First off I have to say I have been a strong supporter of Australian made boots for about 10-years. I have owned 2-pairs of Blundstone, 3-pairs of Red backs and now my first pair of Rossi over this time period. I have liked all of my boots to date, but I have to say the Rossi boots have been the icing on the cake. I am an electrician and spend about 50% of my time in the office and the other in the field. I wear these boots everyday including weekends and I have never been more happy with the end product as I am with Rossi. I am very demanding and tough on my footwear and both for work and play. There is little that I have not done with my boots. No matter how scuffed or roughed up the leather gets on the toe area, a little beeswax leather treatment always cleans up and beautifies the leather. I guess what I am most impressed with is how well the soles of this shoe has held up with minimal to no wear over a year’s timeframe. I have opted to wear Super-feet aftermarket insoles with my boots as I have back problems and I have found these insoles to work with all of my shoes. I would recommend this boot over the other Australian made boots for anyone that is having difficulty deciding. In addition to being a quality boot they are very rugged and good looking. And I often get compliments and questions as to where I got them. I do not typically write a manufacturer or rate their products online so I think that is a testimonial in itself as to the quality of their
boots.

Thank you,

Hemple from Seattle, WA

Australian Rossi Boots - Made for Anything
"While
we’re not making a great variety of bushwalking boots, our reputation is for
reliability on those and we still want to be in that market; just more reliable
than fashionable,"
Managing
director Dean Rossiter

Direct from Australia since 1910 comes Rossi Boots, a leather work boot made with comfort and durability in mind. The company makes use of a high pressure water jet leather cutting machine to cut pieces from the Australian hides. To improve the sole-attaching process, the company recently installed a 24-station carouselthat directly molds a dual-density sole to the upper. A polyurethane mid-sole provides cushioning under the foot. A unique feature of Rossi boots is a special air-cushioned sole that absorbs the shock of contact with the ground or other hard surfaces. Small pockets of air within the sole provide an added layer of protection against the pounding the foot takes throughout the workday. Rossi features include the 2.5mm water resistant leather upper to helpguard against knife drops, a rubber sole that completely wraps up the side wall to protect the air cushion midsole against animal fats and water, and the efficient rubber tread pattern which by design offers excellent slip resistance on wet surfaces.
