ROSSI Ripple Desert Boot

Last of - Reduced to Clear

Taking you back to the 70’s retro classic ripple sole boots with the Catapillar Sole.  The ripple sole consists of a series of waves running from the front of the heel to
the tip of the toe. The ripple sole absorbs shock, stores energy and then aides in lifting the foot for the next step …perfect for those on their feet all day.

The Rossi Black Ripple Sole Desert Boot is a legend in Australian footwear. The choice of hard living, hard-working, hard partying Aussies, its status was cemented by rock icon Bon Scott the front man of AC/DC. His statue in Fremantle, Western Australia still wears a pair.
Now the original Ripple Sole is back, in black, of course, and a choice of other colours so you can wear them anywhere and everywhere. The famous Rossi ripple sole is still hand stitched to the soft leather upper for comfort and durability.

The original ripple sole was invented, and patented, by an engineer named Nathan Hack in 1955. His idea was to reduce the severity of leg injuries to paratroopers when they landed by using the ripples to cushion the impact and improve traction. The distinctive look and functionality proved to be very popular.

The Rossi Ripple sole was an instant success among the young rebels of the day. It became a symbol of individual expression for Bikers, Rockers, Rude Boys, Nutty Boys and anyone who wanted to challenge the norm.
