Quality, Craftsmanship and Kiwi Ingenuity
Words Courtesy of Skellerup
Since 1958, Skellerup's Red Band gumboots have become a true New Zealand icon. Handcrafted from rubber and made from nineteen individual pieces, these gumboots are built to last. This traditional craftsmanship ensures durability and comfort, making them a staple in Kiwi life.
Red Band gumboots are more than just boots; they represent a lifestyle embraced by many New Zealanders. Farmers rely on their robust construction to handle the daily demands of agricultural work. Whether trudging through muddy paddocks, tending to livestock, or working in varied weather conditions, these boots provide the reliability and comfort needed for the job.
For those on lifestyle blocks, Red Bands are essential for outdoor tasks. From mucking out stables and feeding animals to maintaining fences and gardens.
In urban settings, the versatility of Red Bands shines. Gardeners appreciate their waterproof nature and sturdy build, perfect for everything from planting to weeding. Even in suburban areas, these gumboots can be found on the sideline of your local sports field.
