Celeris Boots

[Wheels]

I am in love with some of their designs!

But I haven't actually seen any in real life. I have seen the odd comment that they are not the best quality but mostly positive reviews.

Now there is no opportunity for me to see or try these boots before I buy so it's probably a little silly to think about ordering a pair!

For people who have had theirs for a while, how are they holding up? Any probs with zips or stitching? Is the outer leather as thin as it looks on some of the pics?

How does the quality compare with boots of similar price from the likes of donadeo, konig, petrie?

Is it worth forking out the extra for the hard outer panel - does that extend the working life?

I've got three pairs. One pair of tan polo boots, one pair of navy reinforced bias and black cherry standard bias. Zero issues with mine and they're worn every day to ride two. I only ride in them though and don't do any yard jobs etc.

Quality compared to others is far superior IMO. The leather isn't thin, it's thick but not overbearingly so. My reinforced ones took far longer to break in but as soon as I ridden in them a few times they were fine.

Do the reinforced ones feel different to ride in? Worth extra money? Do they give more support and can you still move your ankles?

I've got a pair of chocolate polo boots with patent croc straps. Most certainly worth the money and the wait. I wasn't able see before I ordered and was a bit tentative, but so pleased I did. I love mine so much and they've stood up to daily wear so well. Would not hesitate to get another pair.

Yes and they remind me to keep my heels down! I can still move my ankles but they are stiffer.

i have seen some people wearing them and they always look lovely but have heard from good friends who had several pairs that they are very uncomfy for quite a while and very hard to break in, the reinforced panel only makes this worse. some of their soft leather designs would be better, (the ones she had were the Bia and Passage or Polo) According to her DE Nero off the peg ones (the slightly more expensive ones) were better as well a as equi-class which are amazing

Following...

I'm converted to Celeris half chaps.. teamed with their paddock boots. love them and they are beautiful as well as comfy and sturdy. Only use to ride in, not yard jobs. The Chaps I have are lovely and high topped/tall, slim, look like a boot when worn unless close up.

I've never, ever felt comfy in any boot .... will likely remain a half chap rider forever.

Thought I'd update this- I decided to fly over for a look myself and had a fitting booked this morning.

I have placed my order for polished Brown Bia boots - now I just have to wait for a few months until they arrive

Exciting

I'm waiting for my second pair, also a Bia, mine are chestnut brown. I got a black pair for competing back in the Spring and I love them. I never really had any discomfort other than that slightly tight feeling you get with new boots/shoes the first few times you wear them. They are always commented on whenever I wear them. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. x

The chestnut is lovely but I am going to compete in my Brown ones and the chestnut was a little too bright. They would have been my first choice if I didn't need to compete in them too. It seems lots of people have more than one pair so I will probably fall into that category when I've saved up again lol

I've got 2 pairs of Bias. One black pair and a light natural tan pair. I love both of them, but the tan are my favourite by far. They are just so beautiful and make me feel really special when I put them on! Plus they make my legs look really slim

I want more, desperate for a purple pair!

3 of my friends also have a pair/2 pairs. One did have an issue with the inside of one of the boots wearing through, but they were worn daily for I think 3 years - you do expect some wear and tear, especially if you are not kind to them! This didn't stop her buying a second pair.

My trainer has a few pairs, he likes them but has said to me that they are were not as hard-wearing as he had hoped. But he is a professional, riding multiple horses per day so he also wasn't too shocked that they wore out. I think again it was the inside panel which wore through.

My tan pair are 6/7 months old still look brand new. My black pair are 2 years old, they don't look brand new anymore but still fantastic condition with no real signs of wear. I only ride one horse for max an hour and only for riding in, so mine are bound to be in better condition!

I do everything in mine so didn't go for the reinforced panel (however, the Bias are a little harder than some of the other models, anyway). I think they took about 2 weeks to break in properly.

I'm sure you'll love your new boots, Wheels

Mine arrived today! I've tried them on and they are a perfect fit. Now given to OH to put away until Christmas Day! This is a picture of them (taken from the Celeris FB page). They ended up coming a month early. xx

Wow they are absolutely stunning, can't wait to get mine! I'm having the same toe as that but buckle at the top.

Wish mine were arriving for Christmas...

These are yours!? I was drooling over these when they posted the pic, now I really want a pair in chestnut brown

I think I'm going to end up with a large collection of Bias
