Mongrel Work Boots

Mongrel Boots has been manufacturing footwear in Australia since 1930. Boot making is in our blood, and this very trade has been passed down from generation-to-generation within our family since the beginning.

The evolution of Mongrel Boots is not just any story. It’s a legacy. It’s where vision met opportunity and sacrifice. Technologies and designs may have changed over ninety years, but the vision of the Cloros family still burns bright today. Manufacturing high-quality boots in Australia remains a dream achieved.

Changing the Aussie work boot scene forever, Mongrel launches the first ‘ZipSider’ boot onto the market. 14 years on, Mongrel ZipSiders are still category leaders in Australia. When most other Australian boot companies were moving their production offshore, Mongrel solidifies their position as an Australian manufacturer with the construction of a new purpose-built manufacturing facility in Auburn, Sydney.
