Long Riding Boots

[Showjumper567]

Just doing some shopping for a new pair of long riding boots...... I would like something elegant and stylish... I have quite round calfs .... Size 8 foot... 17 1/2 inch height, 16 inch width !
Any advice on boots? Recommendations?

A company called Bit on the Side Saddle were offering them made to measure for £150 at Your Horse Live. Might be worth asking if that's still their price?

You might find that the Ariat Bromonts can fit:

Have a look at Regent boots, they make three widths.

I am getting Just Togs Nebraska H2O boots - although they are small in the foot so having to have a 9, but they fit my fat calves, but are fitted round the ankle.

Agreed, I have a pair of Regents and have almost the same size leg as the OP. They are 'wide' calf although I wouldn't say my legs are wide. I picked them up on Ebay for £60 I think. Never been worn so I was very lucky. They have softened very well too. Keep an eye out OP, you never know!

Parlanti or veredus

If others think bromonts would fit then I'll give them my vote. Comfy from day one and mine still look good after 4 years (and I'm not that kind to them!).

Thank you for advice everyone!! Parlanti are very elegant although very soft, would they not wear too easily? Veredus look good although very expensive! ( wish I could be sponsored lol! )

Do ariat bromont have that same elegant look?

Absolutely love my ariats! And I have proper trunks for legs.

The polish beautifully too!

I have had my parlanti boots for 3 or 4 years now and they are so soft and comfy and beautiful to look at lol, mines are still in great condition, there is wear down the inside but they are used a lot! So I would say they are quite hard wearing!
I also love my veredus ones I think they are so different and smart I would say they are definitely more hard wearing than the parlanti I have had mine a couple of years now and they still look brand new! They are pricey tho but well worth the investment id say!
There are so many choices out there tho!

Lucky me got a pair for Xmas but have not had a chance to try them out. Really well fitting though and I've got sturdy legs too. Really pleased to hear so many good things being said about them. Am really looking forward to testing them out properly now.
