Redback Boots is an Australian footwear manufacturing company. It was founded by the Cloros family in 1989.[1] It specializes in lightweight work boots, and has been a supplier of the Australian Army,[2] with its "Terra" boot at times being standard issue.[3]
Since 2000, the Australian Defence Force, primarily uses the Redback Terra Combat Boot as a replacement for the Vietnam War-era General Purpose combat boots. It was given a limited number of tests in 1999, and was later distributed in 2000.
In December 2025, Ares Management acquired a majority stake in Redback Boots.[1]
