Men's Outback II - Java/Rust
Description
The Outback is unlike any other outdoor shoe on market. Inspired by the skate shoes we grew up wearing, and sharing the same vulcanized construction method, it’s low profile look immediately sets it apart. However, this book’s cover doesn’t tell the whole story. If you dig deeper you’ll find top shelf materials and technical features that give the Outback real off-road capabilities. Constructed from 2.0mm oiled leather or suede, a DWR coating, and a gusseted tongue, the Outback will do its part to keep the elements out. On the inside you’ll find a bespoke anti-microbial EVA innersole with increased arch support so your feet don’t fatigue. We also use a vari-flex Bi Fit lasting board to control flexion over rough terrain, without compromising everyday wearability. Also, they look cool, unless you want that, “my whole life is a through-hike” look.
So, if you’re looking for a light hiking boot that ditches the needless bulk and over the top styling in favor of clean aesthetics and rugged durability, then this is the shoe for you. Let’s not forget that Outdoor Magazine said, “This Boot Can Do Anything!”, and they, of course, were right.

Customer Reviews
These have become my go-to boots that I wear practically every day in the fall. They're great in the rain and super comfortable all day. Because I have wide feet, I ended up buying a half-size larger and they fit perfectly. My only qualm is the laces keep untying regularly, so I'll probably change those out.
I purchased the Men's Outback II - Black/Chocolate a few weeks ago. They didn’t last one month of wear. The stitching is coming apart and the sole of the left shoe is falling off. I bought them for the supposed quality. What a joke.
The Oubtback 2 checks all the boxes of what I have been looking for in an everyday day shoe for all occasions
Bit narrow though I do have very wide feet. The loop eyelets help with this.
I was looking for some boots that were fairly light, not “clunky” and not with the current trend of thick white soles. My new Ridgemount Outback IIs tick all the boxes. Feel like good quality leather, well made and handsome looking. I’m a man in his late 60s who is not yet ready to “dress my age” but I don’t want to look like a grandad dressed like a teenager! These boots fit that bill perfectly. They are functional for our inclement British weather but with a modern design and appearance. They pair perfectly with jeans and chinos.
I’m a size 10 but with a broad foot so I opted for the 10.5s and I’m really glad I did as they fit great - 10s would have been too small/tight.
I was lucky to find these at the slightly reduced price but now I have them I would gladly pay the full price.
