Long riding boots for short legs and wide feet

[Meredith]

I have asked this before I think but am getting desperate so asking again.
When I search I get wide leg boots not wide feet boots.

I am 5’ 2” and take an EEE width fitting in a size 6. I think from knee crease to floor I measure 39cm and (naked) calf is 35cm.

I would like a smart shiny pair of field boots with a press stud spur tab but no bling.

I found these but they are oiled leather

how about these?

I have the paddock boot version so can't vouch for the long ones but they ask for width measurements so are for wider feet

Thank you but I have wide feet and my calves are only 13 1/2”

Which ones? I would like smart shiny boots.
They mostly seem to be 44cm high. Will they drop 5cm? Seems a lot.

Thanks but they are too big in the calf measurement. I am 35cm
Where ever I look my feet are too large for children’s boots but my legs are too short and slim for adults boots

Polish them, the leather is there, polishing it will make it shiny

Really, my Premier Equine ones never did. They stayed dull.

 

[Meredith]

@Barton Bounty I think a phone call to Tuffa is required.

Try De Nero’s, I have short legs, slim calves and wide feet and they are very comfortable. My son also has very slim calves and very wide feet and he says they are the most comfortable boots he has worn. I think it is because the leather is so soft and so gives and doesn’t pinch. They also have removable insoles that can be taken out when they are new until they are worn in.

Tuffa Sandringham side saddle boots. The only boots to ever fit me off the peg at 5’1!

I found all of mountain horse boots fit my feet, I’ve got bunions on both feet so boots need to be wide .. they used to do different heights and width calves so might be worth a google

I thought they would have a size to fit me but all the smart boots are too long. Unless I missed one / some.

I bought mine over 25 years ago so they are quite likely to have changed what they produce.. if you don’t need posh ones the MH high rider were the ones I used for every day and they polished up really well and were very comfortable

Two thoughts - 1 heel raisers! I have to have two in each boot and the boots also drop to make them shorter.

Secondly, have you thought about short boots and gaiters? There are some really smart ones that you can hardly tell aren't long boots and it might give you the flexibility you need for calf and feet sizing.

AB Leather may be able to shorten a boot, maybe contact them before purchase to find out?

I have used heel raisers, occasionally 2 raisers in each boot, for years. Sometimes I feel I’m in high heels!

I had short boots and gaiters too but the smart shiny gaiters would’t fit over a modern more clumpy short boot. My wide feet mean that old fashioned slim fit jodhpur boots are too narrow and shallow.

Thank you.
I have asked a boot repairer not too far away. They are concerned that the calf shaping will be in the wrong place and leave the top gaping?

 

[Meredith]

Thank you everyone. I do appreciate all your help.

AB are experts in this, talk to them, they take boots in, and add gussets etc, all the time.
