Best Long Riding Boots for Short Legs!

[emilykerr747]

Hi, I am looking for recommendations for some quality long riding boot for competition use. I love the Ariat long boots but unfortunately, I think they will be too long! Looking for boots of around 16-17 inches in height. Please let me know what you think!

I have just bought some premier equine Chiswick field boots and they are the best fit I’ve ever had on my short, skinny legs! Not as high end as you’re looking for but they look really smart and I’m amazed at the fit! ?

I bought Premier Equine Brecon boots. They are nubuck leather.

Unfortunately I have wide feet and am still searching for smarter boots with average calf and shorter leg.

Smart boots sizes seem to be made for slim legged, slim footed people.

Just Togs ?

My legs are 15 inches and I've just spend a year spent trying on every adult and child's set of boots I could (Ariat, Mark Todd, Tredstep, Dublin, etc.) to no avail...

UNTIL I found an amazing old thread on here where someone recommended Tuffa side saddle boots! They're not as fitted as some and don't have the high Spanish cut but quality seems to be great and they've been very comfortable from day 1.

I am very short 4'11.........Ariat Junior Bromont size 3, full calf fit great.

Size 3 height 16inch, calf 13 inch (full)
Size 4 height 16 1/2 inch, calf 13 1/2 (full)

Don't know if that helps

Thanks! I did try the junior Ariats but I'm a size 5 which is really annoying!

I had some Mountain Horse children's which go up to 5 1/2... Or could you try paddock/jodhpur boots with chaps, then you could mix n match sizes & get adult size boots with children's chaps. I am 5 ft 1 and that is my current preferred route. I also like the added ankle flexibility of short boots & chaps over long boots.

That's a pity.....I also have Kanyon Gorse boots which are shorter in height but although not as dressy, they are so comfortable but unfortunately they stopped making them. I think Toggi make similiar ones.

brogini do some if you want fitted boots - they are the only ones that fit my short fat legs!
