Mens riding boots?

[horsey_mad123]

Hiya
I'm considering buying these boots from bogini; http://www.brogini.com/Default.aspx...tName&Level=1&ProductID=144620&language=en-GB
(In black of course)
What are your opinions as it's very hard to find men's boots lol or do you think I should stick with the short boots and half chaps.
Thanks guys 😄

I wear Ariat Bromonts. Had my pair for nearly three years and they are only just showing signs of wear along the seam of the zip/stretch panel bit

But uncomfortable to start with but once broken in they are great

Personally I have Toggi short boots and various pairs of half chaps - I am not a fan of long boots of any description myself. Personal preference really.

Id have happily bought Brogini Roma's had they had them in my size. Being a 12 I went for Regents.

Is it because you find them uncomfortable? Or too girly lol

Having tried new long boots, I found them too 'restrictive' around my ankles for my liking - maybe they would soften with use (and I don't doubt they would), short boots are also significantly cheaper...

I actually find the opposite can be the problem with traditional zipless boots - for me as a relative duffer my feet and ankles can move a lot and it's trickier getting an accurate leg aid on while pinning my legs and heels down to keep a secure seat.

It depends... Are you so well endowed you'll need to tuck yourself into one of your boots? If so, I'd advocate an elastic panel for comfort.

Toggi short boots and Tredstep gaiters. Boots about to change to Tredstep too.
