A proud tradition, founded in 1887
Oliver Boots, Australia’s leading Safety Footwear Manufacturer owes its origins to gold mining in the Victorian provincial city of Ballarat.
Our founder James Oliver, a boot-maker by trade, came to the goldfields of Ballarat, then amongst the richest alluvial and underground mining fields in the world, in the mid 1800’s. His quest for the elusive nuggets was unsuccessful, so he returned to the trade of boot-making which he had learned in the U.K. Established as the business of Oliver & Stevens, the new venture commenced producing tough and durable boots for miners and farmers in 1887.
The same entrepreneurial streak which marked the establishment of the business in 1887 continues today with Oliver Boots building on its commitment to manufacture quality footwear. Product research and development to address the needs and demands of tough workplace safety environments will always be a central part of our company philosophy.
Oliver stands for quality, comfort and protection. That’s why our safety footwear is backed by a 6 month Manufacturers warranty… the Oliver Promise.
Oliver leather safety shoes and boots are warranted for six (6) months from the date of purchase against defective workmanship and/or materials when used under normal conditions for the purpose intended. The warranty is void if in the opinion of Oliver that the product has been misused or subject to excessive wear and tear including exposure to chemicals, cement, lime or heat if the footwear has not been designed to be used in these environments.
As a requirement of this warranty the purchaser must present the footwear and provide evidence of purchase. Please return the footwear to the place of purchase. The footwear will then be returned to Oliver for inspection by an authorized Oliver employee. If the footwear is defective they will be repaired and returned where possible, otherwise replacement footwear will be provided by Oliver.
This warranty is in addition to, and does not limit consumer’s statutory rights.
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
