Redback Boots Hosts Mayor's Visit 

 

Since 1998, Redback Boots has been the exclusive North American distributor of high quality, Australian-made boots. Located in Escondido's industrial area, you may have seen their sign depicting a large, menacing, spider - incidentally, it's a deadly Redback spider, native to Australia.

 

What you may not know is that Redback Boots has a retail store on site where they sell their high-quality footwear. Their main customer base is fire fighters, mechanics, police and agricultural workers, but their selection goes beyond safety boots.

 

Mayor Sam Abed paid a visit to Redback Boots earlier this month, and the company plans to become more involved in community events in the near future. Visit their retail store to see their selection of the "World's Most Comfortable Boot" located at 1031 South Andreasen Drive, Suite 100 in Escondido or shop online at www.redbackboots.com .
