Long boots!

[PearlyWearly]

I'm looking for a pair of long riding boots to school and compete in they will be used about 5 times a week for about an hour plus competing, I have a budget of £150. Must be leather after my synthetic ones fell apart after a few months, I have big feet and skinny legs! Size 7/7.5 I don't know my calf measurement only that they are small.

I like the look of broginis but no tack shops near me do them and I'd rather try on first but if they are nice a trip to a bigger tack shop about an hour away may be needed!

If they are every day boots have you thought about something like the Ariat derwents

Just got my son mark Todd brown leather boots, with zip up the back, they were only ones I found to fit his big feet!!! They are lovely boots, and clean up lovely. He said comfy too.

Hmm.. The boots I have experience with: Shires Norfolk boots are within you budget and do come in different calf widths and heights. The Donatello field boots are more expensive (around £200 I think) but do look very smart, they also come in a wide range of sizes. Otherwise keep and eye out on ebay or the equivalent for Ariat Bromonts. I got my brand new Bromonts (RRP £250) for about £170ish I think. I don't know if it is an option, but could you try the short boots and gaiters rout? I would suggest going into a tack shop with a good range of boots and seeing which ones work. Good luck hunting!
