Australian Boots are becoming recognised as a unique style around the world. Australian boots or elastic-sided boots typically are leather with elastic sides and pull tabs on the front and back of the boot. This simple and classic design allow the wearer to easily slip their boots on and off without the hassle of laces, but with the firm fit of lace-up boots. There are several Australian companies manufacturing boots in this classic style today. Some of the more popular brands are Blundstone (perhaps the original dating back to 1870), Rossi and R.M. Williams.

The boots typically are made from treated leather with no separate lining, with a polyurethane sole. They are resistant to water and other chemicals found in factories and farms.
