Can anyone recommend a nice pair of black long boots which are long enough for a tall rider for competition? I need a 50cm length and struggling to find any long enough without a big price tag! Budget up to £200. Thanks in advance!
 
If you can spare an extra £50 on that budget the Ariat Heritage Contour boots come in tall and are beautiful! They are actually too long for me and I'm about 45centimetres!

I just got some of these from R&R country in the sale for £180, reduced from £320!
 
Brogini Capitolis in black. Looked awful on display but I tried them on anyway and they don't actually look bad when on and clean up very well. I also have long legs! They fit me really well and go with the shape of my leg. Cheap and cheerful too at only £150 though you can get them cheaper online :)

I personally wouldn't recommend Ariats (I know-shoot me!!) I've found that the leather doesn't come up to a shine, and they don't last. The bromonts especially as my friend wore holes in her pair with standard use in only 8 months! Plus they looked clunky.

Here are my boots on so you get the idea-and mine aren't the tallest either. :):)

I'm really surprised at that, my pair are at least 5 years old and only just starting to show their age! Perhaps it was a dodgy pair?
 
Ariat are changing the design of their Bromont boots so I believe, and consequently they are £100 off in most places. I have very long legs and they are find for me and they polish up very smart. Try Hope Valley web site, they have a few long boots that are on sale.
