Can’t work out if I like them - but they look as if there may be waterproof and good for muddy days?
Anyone recognise these boots!

They look either incredibly expensive or a bit cheap and nasty, can't make my mind up! 
They are shown against a CWD saddle, so guessing they are rather expensive. I would imagine if they are the same on the inside they might be a bit too grippy, or are they chaps even? Do you have a picture of more of the actual boot?

I've just bought some rubber Shires boots, mostly for cold days as they're big enough for woolly socks - horrid but they do the job!

I've never heard of them, but I am quite common; Ariat is about as upmarket as I go. I can't even see what they are made of can you? Like @canteron I am not sure if I like them or not, I think I would need to see the real life version first.

I think it's basically a very sturdy sock
By using a knitted material, we have completely eliminated off-cuts, since the fabric is custom-knitted for each boot. No more cutting, no more waste.

I quite like them, I always find it difficult to find boots that actually for my legs, not liking the price and I do wonder how long they keep their shape and go saggy or how hard wearing they would be?!

Ew I think they are utterly hideous. They look like they'd bring you out in a rash too. I could buy quite a lot with 400 quid. It wouldn't be them

Before seeing the price I'm already put off by the excessively meaningless marketing blurb and the "one size fits all" statement on the page that @Mrs. Jingle linked to in her post, contradicted by the page that I linked to that clearly shows that these bits are sold in several different sizes...

You can put them in the washing machine. Surely the most important thing to consider when choosing a riding boot. No?
Awful things IMO, plus I don’t think they would provide much protection to the leg.

They don't even look like they have a proper heel to be safe to ride in.

They would also provide no protection at all against clumsy horse bashing your leg off a gate post again out hacking (colloquial you)

I can't. Think they're awful. Not for me.

I like them.
The lack of a heel worries me and I think they are a bit expensive but style wise they are nice. If they’re easy to clean that would be a massive bonus. I hate cleaning boots

They look like they'd be a nightmare to put on over anything other than perfectly smooth, perfectly fitted breeches. And I'm a short-arse, so all my breeches go down to my ankles and have strange lumpy bits.

From the website:
The 3D Knit material (around the leg and ankle) is made from 63% recycled polyester. The outer part of the foot is 40% recycled polyester and the inside linings are 100% recycled or bio-sourced. The barcode label is water-based. The cleaning bag is made from 100% recycled polyester. The packaging box is 100% recycled cardboard and the inside printing is soy-based.
I think I like them. But not enough to pay over 300 euros.

Verruca sock aside...would they damage the saddle. I know someone that rode in their wellies loads and it definitely damaged the bottom of their saddle

Possibly, I don't let people use wellies or anything like Dubarries for trying saddles.
