Red Bands – A Kiwi Icon

You’ll find them everywhere from the farm to the building site, to the back step at home and the sideline of footy fields all over New Zealand, and even abroad. It’s fair to say you could come across a pair of Red Bands pretty much anywhere at any time.

Kiwi Gumboots
gumboots

They have become part of the Kiwi landscape and our national identity alongside other Kiwiana icons like the All Blacks, Buzzy Bees, Number 8 wire and the Edmonds Cookery Book. One of NZ’s most popular satirical characters, Fred Dagg, famously always wore Skellerup made gumboots, the Marathon and the Perth, and coined the famous phrase, “If it weren’t for your gumboots where would you be?”

  • Natural rubber compounds with built in UV inhibitors to withstand New Zealand’s harsh sunlight
  • Heavy-duty non-clog cleated sole to keep you moving
  • Heavy-duty 100% cotton canvas bonded to the rubber gives the boots greater strength, flexibility and protection. 
  • Designed by Skellerup in NZ, made by Skellerup in China
