If you had about £100 to spend....

[CalllyH]

On a new pair of boots what would you get?? I can't decide on paddock short boots or long boots. I don't need any for competion so just every day riding really .

Help me choose please!

Have a look on ebay for 'Arizona' boots, good value (about £65) and very comfy all year round.

Hi,

For every day? In an ideal world? Toggi Calgary - if I could get some to fit my calves.

Or some good country boots...

Ariats are very comfy, I love them, but I go through 3 pairs a year

 

[vinnie]

Ariats!

 

[CalllyH]

Which ariats would you recommend? Paddock type ones? I will purchase at burghley so can try on

 

[martlin]

at £100 you don't really get much choice in Ariats, I'm afraid. It will be Heritage or possibly Westchester if the offers at Burghley are good. Everything else is more money.

 

[CalllyH]

I can stretch abit further if need too.

A new pair of Ariat Windermeres cos mine are getting tired!

Ariats!

Baa! Love my Ariats although I only use my paddock boots for actually riding. My Windermeres are looking very tatty after a year but they got seriously abused and never cleaned (£130). I am taking much better care of my Grassmeres and after a year they still look like new.

Oooh I like those long toggie boots. Are they quite hard wearing for riding out in?

Thinking they might offer some gorse protection.

I've mine about a year. I keep my horse on a farm so have to do everything myself and they are still perfect.

The Calgary? Mine survived about 9 months now, including mucking out, riding, lambing, extreme shepherding and all sorts of bizarre adventures They are comfortable and quite warm, but not too hot in summer months.

 

[FfionWinnie]

Yes but I like the Canyon ones too. Sounds like a good plan then thanks

 

[liannexsx]

I've got toggi canyon boots. They've lasted a year of daily use, only rode in them once. The lining of them is completely shot now tho. :-(

Oh my god, cant believe you go through 3 pairs a year, I have my long ariats nearly 4 years, and disgracefully on my part, have not looked after them at all, and yet they are still going strong. last time i cleaned the i oiled them 12 times and they were still soaking it straight away. I'd swear by ariats. but toggi are good too.

 

[CalllyH]

Are these any good? I've. Been looking at them but this price is brilliant! Just for knocking round the yard in http://www.burnhills.com/clothing-c...ost-paddock-boots-black-reduced-to-clear-p864

 

[FfionWinnie]

Bugger now I have looked at the ariat grassmere I want them!!

[CalllyH]

Yes I've tried those Dublin ones on, so comfy and gorgeous, I want those too as well as some others for yard wear

 

[FfionWinnie]

Thanks Cally

I have mountain horse boots and they are really comfortable (not the exact ones you posted tho)

 

[CalllyH]

Any good for riding in and general yard wear as at that price I can afford to get them and something else

Are the mountain horse ones true to size? As I'm a five but have a four in other ridingboots

 

[AprilBlossom]

FW my toggi canyons are going strong still and will be heading into their 3rd winter this year they never get cleaned apart from the odd hose off, and ive ridden in them loads - only now have they started to 'drop' and catch a little on the saddle, so I'm about to downgrade them in favour of some nice long boots for riding but I reckon they'll still do me prod this winter as glorified wellies!

 

[Venevidivici]

I have mountain horse and Ariat. Never wear the MH(were a gift!)-still in box,as just not comfy compared to the Ariat ones. Can keep Ariat on all day & never get footsore - same goes for all my other boots,long or short,as the Ariat footbed is just really comfy.

I've got those and have been happy with them. Had them for a year and a half and I not only ride in them, all the field work, gardening, sometimes country walks and general wear at shows (lorry and tractor, in addition to country). They've been fine. I wouldn't say they're quite as warm as the Ryedale ones I had, but they're definitely better for riding and they're still waterproof (tested daily, as I stand on the haynet to submerge it in the tub!).
