Just had new boots delivered and not sure if high enough - they come to about 1 inch below where my knee bends if that makes sense.

Thinking prob ok height as much higher and they would dig into crease behind knee but wondered what everyone else thought?

They go higher in jumping position, will these look ok?

I'm pretty tall so ordered extra long ones they just aren't quite as high as expecting!

Thanks
 
Well tbh I'm jealous, both of your lovely long legs and of the fact that your boots won't dig into the backs of your knees like they do on us stumpy-legged beings.

However, aesthetically I can see you'd be worried that they will drop too far. As an oldie I'd go for the comfort factor though!

ps there have been a number of posts on here recently from people in pain from their too long boots!
 
1inch lower - personally I like my boots high, so I would be worried that after a while and once they have dropped, they would be even lower. can you take a picture in them and put it on here. Long boots are all down to personal preference and what you feel comfortable in. I rather have them slightly long, buy some heel raisers for inside my boots until they have dropped then I find them the right height - but then I dont jump, I just do dressage and high boots are a must!!
