A craftsman of his time, Rossi Boots founder, Arthur Rossiter brought a legend to life when he started making premium leather sports boots in his backyard shed.

2 years after, Arthur built his first factory in Adelaide, South Australia. He then officially formed the company ‘Rossiter’s Pty Ltd’ which started a family tradition spanning over 110 years and four generations.

As the first world war hit, the Rossiter’s provided the footwear for The Australian Army. Arthur made it his focus to create a comfortable boot for the Australian soldiers in order to play his part in the war effort.

Rossiter’s again supplied the Australian Army with 110,000 pairs of army boots to soldiers in WWII which remains an enormous source of pride among the Rossi Boots team to this day.

The Original Ripple Sole Desert Boot launched in 1950, crafted with stitch down construction where the upper is sewn to the midsole. These boots were made in the South Australian factory until 2023 and are an iconic part of the collection.

The iconic Endura Sole was launched in 1993 featuring a robust nitrile rubber sole and comfortable air cushion technology. For over 25 years this boot is Rossi Boots’ most popular style, worn across various agriculture, wine and trade industries.

From 1910, Rossi Boots had a firm footprint in Adelaide, South Australia.

In 2023 Rossi Boots was purchased by the Australian owned and operated S. Kidman & Co. Staying true to their 110 year heritage, Rossi Boots continues to evolve.
