Jodhpur boots - any recommendations?

[chestnuttyy]

Really need some new jod boots, can anyone recommend any? The last few I've had have had really slippy soles, which I hate!

Ariat all the way expensive but worth the extra IMHO

I've just bought some Brogini's with zips and rubber soles (grippy) on sale, they're doing well so far

Do Ariats come up particularly big/small?

I would say about right, I am an 8 and the 8 fits perfectly in my jod boots.

Ariats every time.

Ariats no question - utterly true to size xx

Ariat Cobalts all the way - I am an 8 in every other shoe boot i have ever owned but always go down 1/2 a size to a 7.5 in all Ariat boots (I have 4 pairs)!!!

Ariat Cobalts - absolutely fantastic - they converted me from being a strictly long boot person!! They have a very good sole, stiff and grippy, which gives you very good stability on the stirrup. They also have very good ankle support. I feel very stable in these boots, and would buy the same ones again.

I bought a pair of TredStep jod boots previously, and I was so unstable in them that I thought I would wobble right off the horse!

Definitely the Cobalts. They are expensive (£188), but are worth it for the quality.

Another vote for Ariats. Nearly broke my heart to pay the money for them at the time but I have never once regretted it. Feet feel so supported in and out of the saddle

I suppose Ebay is always a good place for cheaper versions of Ariats? I'd like a pair but I've just had to pay for a car so having to watch the pennies.
