Hard Yakka BRUMBY Dealer Boots - Non Safety

Overview

The Hard Yakka Brumby is a non-safety Australian dealer boot — the same rugged, good-looking Chelsea boot as the Outback, just without the steel toe. To be clear, this is a non-safety boot: there’s no steel toe cap and no safety rating, so it’s built for comfort and everyday wear rather than PPE-regulated sites. What you get is a genuinely versatile leather pull-on that’s just as at home on the farm as it is out for the evening.

Not just for farmers — the Brumby suits campers, explorers, DIYers and anyone who wants a hard-wearing, easy-on leather boot for everyday life. It’s made from premium oiled, water-resistant full-grain leather, with twin elastic gores and double extra-long pull loops for quick on and off, and a Kickguard toe protector to guard the front of the boot. Underfoot, a recycled TPU outsole, PU midsole and lightweight memory-foam footbed keep it comfortable all day, and a REPREVE® recycled lining adds a greener touch.

Available in Brown and Light Tan.

Need a steel toe for site work? The Hard Yakka Outback is the same boot with a steel toe cap and full S3 safety rating.

Who it’s for

The Brumby suits anyone who wants a comfortable, good-looking leather dealer boot for everyday wear — farming, camping, exploring, DIY, dog walking, or just out and about. Because it’s non-safety, it’s ideal where you don’t need a protective toe cap. If your workplace requires steel-toe safety footwear, choose the Outback instead — it’s the same boot with a steel toe.

Sizing & fit

The Brumby runs true to size, but Hard Yakka advise that if you’re a half size, order up to the next full size. Available in UK 3–13 including 6.5 and 10.5 half sizes, in Brown and Light Tan. If the fit isn’t right, we offer free exchanges.

Why buy from BIG Boots UK?

We’ve sold only Australian workwear and boot brands in the UK for years, and before moving to the UK, Ryan — the owner of BIG Boots UK — worked in the trades in Melbourne, closely with these brands, so he knows them like the back of his hand. We’re a small, family-run business that only stocks boots we’d wear on our own feet. Every pair is genuine, fully warranted, and backed by people who actually use them.

FAQs

Is the Brumby a safety boot?
No. The Brumby is a non-safety dealer boot — it does not have a steel toe cap or an EN ISO 20345 safety rating. It’s designed for comfort and everyday wear. If you need a protective toe cap for your workplace, choose the Hard Yakka Outback, which is the same boot with a steel toe and full S3 rating.

What’s the difference between the Brumby and the Outback?
They’re essentially the same boot. The Brumby is the non-safety version (no steel toe), while the Outback has a steel toe cap and full S3 safety rating. Choose the Brumby for everyday comfort and style, or the Outback if you need a safety boot for site work.

What is a dealer boot?
A dealer boot (or Chelsea boot) is a pull-on, elastic-sided boot with no laces and no zip. Stretchy gussets on each side let you pull it on and off easily while keeping it secure — comfortable, quick and clean-looking.

Is the Brumby waterproof?
No — it has a water-resistant oiled leather upper, which helps against splashes and damp, but it isn’t waterproof and doesn’t have a sealed waterproof construction. For genuinely waterproof boots, see our S7-rated waterproof range.
