Mark tood cook long riding boots - any experiences?

[Emily91]

I am looking for a new pair of long boots for work. But on a budget!! lol only have about £70 to spend, £80 at a push.

Most important thing is they must be WARM! I get really cold tootsies!!

So has anyone got a pair of the mark todd cook boots? are they warm? Do they last very long?

I have had Muck co. long neoprene boots for years because they are sooooo warm however after 3 winters now have a few cracks and so getting wet feet! lol But they do look so stupid!! And as I am working on a competition yard now i feel i should look a bit smarter!

Any help much appreciated!!

Thanks in advance

Emily

I have some and they are brill. I have been out today in just my cotton socks for a two hour ride and came back with nice and warm toes. Really recommend them.

I'm just looking at these but also the MH Stella Polaris boots, but they are double the price! One website says the Mark Todd boots come up small and to get the next size up. Does anyone that has them agree or was the sizing ok?

^ yeah i saw this too. On another website though it said that its the calf that is a bit small not the foot size really. It gives a calf size guide thing.

Thanks Geegeesarah. Its good to know they are warm! Makes me more certain on buying them!

Excellent- mine have worked very hard for 2 winters, a few cracks starting but they should see this winter out too. They are definately small in the foot and err on the wide side with the calf.

Good to know they last though! Need to go get a tape measure out i think!!

I have some, pretty sure its these ones! Love them and good to ride in. I'm normally a size 5, ended up with a 6.5 this year as they didn't have any 6's but with some decent socks they're toastie and fit well! Size 6 worked too though as had some last year too. The fact they're too wide doesn't bother me much.
