Advice please Ariat Bromonts and summer...

[aimeejay]

Hi,
Following on from my post the other day, Ive decided to get some Ariat Bromonts BUT I need them to do me in winter and summer as I dont have the money to get insulated and no-insulated. So I can only afford one pair atm, should I get insulated or non-insulated, or consider another boot?
Thanks all

ooooh sorry I don't have an answer....but am watching as I wondered the same thing too!!!
Would the insulated ones be too hot in the summer?

I have the insulated ones, and tbh unless it is really hot!!! They are fine.

They are the best boots i have ever ridden in, really recommend them.

Well, I looked at a few reviews for them(I swear im not sad) and they said they are boiling in summer but was hoping you lot would help

I compete in the insulated ones throughout the summmer

yes they are warm, but not unbearable...
I am planning on buying some kingsland show socks;

They are fab boots; and you will regret not buying insulated ones in the winter lol

I have the uninsulated ones and find them very warm, even in winter. Hate to think how warm the insulated ones are like?! Love wearing them, but both poppers and zip tabs broke after only 6 months of (everyday) use. So comfortable, I hate wearing my good boots at competitions (especially in the winter (so cold) - wish I could wear my Bromonts but they are a bit of a disgrace now!

I polish my bromonts up for shows, come up as good as new with a bit of elbow greese lol!

Insulated boots are fine with thin socks; I love mine though they have got tatty quite quickly, probably because I wear them so much!

I have the insulated ones and they are fine in the summer! cant say ive noticed any "boiling" experiences! If you are unsure though id go for the un-insulated ones and just put an extra pair of socks on in the winter

I can't remember if I have insulated or not but they are top notch, best boots I have ever had, and because of the chaps style feel I don't panic when going from normal chaps and boots to "boots" as they have exactly the same feel! best £167 I've ever spent!
