More innovative riding boots - what do we think?

[little_flea]

I know you all like to comment on innovative riding boots... these are from Veredus and will be launched soon. Yay or nay?

I think they will only be available as made to measure, and a snip at nearly £600!

 

[Bounty]

Better than the TRetorn, but still very 'X-men'!!!

 

[Chestnutmare]

they look like biker boots to me....not my cup of tea but yeay very different

 

[BBH]

Great if you're looking to be an extra in a star trek movie

 

[Bessieboo]

Nice Darth Vader boots!

 

[TinselRider]

*pukes* Bl**dy VILE! I PREFER the tetrons

 

[Ashgrove]

Not for me.

 

[Snowysadude]

Wouldnt pay any money for them.... not the most attractive things in the world!

*peers at own ankles thinking they really aren't that skinny*

What is wrong with good old classic plain leather boots? I am so boring.

 

[Lotty]

They're not my cup of tea

 

[Flame_]

I think they look like they'd be nice to ride in and close fitting. I'd wear them but I wouldn't pay much for them because they're not smart enough for competing and not casual enough for everyday.

ETA £600

They're having a laugh.

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

I think they are nicer than the Tretrons(sp?) but if I had a spare £600 to spend on boots I would have a pair of 'normal' long boots made to measure.

 

[little_critter]

I quite like them but I think we're in a bit of a vicious cirle...
Most people wouldn't compete in them because they look 'different'.
So they won't buy them.
So no-one competes in them
So they'll always look 'different'

How did we manage to get the vented hats accepted - did they hit the same 'it looks different' issues?
I like the traditional look too but riding wear will always be stuck in the dark ages if no-one takes a punt and tries something 'different'.
Hope I'm not taling gibberish!

 

[Enfys]

I like the traditional dark ages.

Smart and practical.

As I said, I am a boring old fart, advances and improved materials/quality can still look traditional, but these boots look as if they belong on a biker not a rider, clumpy and ugly.

 

[treena]

yeah. i would wear them. and i would compete in them. if they want someone to trial them, just drop me a message.

 

[muffinino]

See, I’m usually very traditional but I really like them! But then, I’m a huge geek and love Star Trek & X-Men, so looking like an extra rfom one can only be a bonus in my eyes!

They look comfortable and quirky.

However, if I had £600 to spare I would get made to measure traditional boots, tbh.

 

[miss_bird]

I dont know if i like them or not, but i could think of better things to spend £600 on

 

[Angua2]

my first thought was " they make boots for humans!?"

it was swiftly followed with *blurgh*!!

then how much!

LOL!!!!! You and me both!!

 

[MagicMelon]

I like them. But then I love the Tretorn look as well! I'd be happy to wear these, I bet they're way too expensive for me to buy them though.

 

[ISHmad]

Not for me, don't like the look of them at all.

 

[PaddyMonty]

Normally I'm a real traditionalist. Wont wear the wierd SJ hats or the new BS type jacket but

I really like those.
