What would you wear these boots with?

I just bought 2 pairs of boots on ebay and I love them, but not sure what to wear them with. Would love to hear your input!


Thanks!


Boots #1 Tall brown riding boots (leather) 1 1/2 inch thock boot heel.


Boots #2 Just above the ankle, shiny black boots with grey fur lining. They almost look like rainboot material, but the soles are more similar to a granny boot. Very cute, but not sure what to wear with them since I can%26#039;t tuck jeans in to them.

What would you wear these boots with?
boots #1 Dark skinny jeans or dark jeans tucked into boots, with a cute blazer or t-shirt, or sweater, or any top you like, wear kinda earthy tones with these.


boots #2 shorter dress or skirt, an oversize sweater dress, with matching tights, sounds kinda dressy so a dressy outfit.





HOPE this helps!
Reply:get a pair of skinny tight black pants for the 2nd pair and a long chunky sweater that ties around the waist!
Reply:well for the boots #1 i think i dark jean or even light skinny jean would work well tucked into it. and for the Boots #2 try a cute denim skirt that would look very cute
Reply:I don%26#039;t no they sound ugly!
Reply:i think that a knee length or above the knee length dress would go with both pairs of boots.
Reply:for boots #1 u could wear a cute sweater or top w/ skinny leg jeans and tuck them in to the boots try a beige or blue sweater and some dark jeans

Choosing tall boots?

Hello! I need some help picking out a pair of field boots. I%26#039;ve been riding for a while (now up to cantering) and I%26#039;m interested in buying boots. My mom will only pay $50 for them, so at first I was looking at the Devon Aire Leather-Like Field Boots with zip up, which are about $50 (http://www.doversaddlery.com/uspc-zip-ba... Then, I saw the Ovation Finalist Pro Zip Up(http://www.doversaddlery.com/product.asp... around $140, and I really liked them and I figured i could pitch in on the money side of it..but I would like something that is comfortable, fashionable, and good quality. Which one would you recommend, or do you have other suggestions (in that price range)? Or should I just stick with the paddock boots (mine don%26#039;t fit well at all...)? Thanks!

Choosing tall boots?
Honestly, I would wait %26#039;til you%26#039;ve been riding longer before tall boots...it%26#039;s better for your parents to know that you%26#039;ll stay with the sport before getting nice boots.





What I would recommend is getting Ariat heritage (or even cobalt...SOME form of zip ariats) zips paddock boots or something, then pairing them with some ariat close-contact half chaps...probably going to amout up to more than $50 for now, but they%26#039;re GREAT for schooling, and last a nice long time...plus, they look nice and elegant and are out of the way.





As for field boots, wait until you%26#039;ll be starting to show (probably over fences) before purchasing them, that way you can get a really nice pair (trust me...tall boots are NOT something that you want to get a knock-off version of...). If you use them for everyday riding and schooling, they will wear down quickly even with proper care. Get a pair of paddock boots, then save up for tall boots, and then put them aside as show-use-only boots...besides, lol, tall boots HURT to break in, and I mean having blisters ON your blisters. When you do get tall boots though, GET ZIPPERS!!!!! This will save you (and any potential helpers within your reach) LOADS of trouble and danger (my dad almost hurt himself trying to help me get my slip on field boots off...then I got zippers put in, which look really bad compared to the ones with zippers included.).





You can get good deals on boots, just make sure that you%26#039;re not sacrificing quality.





Heritage zips:

Ariat Close-contact half-chaps (haha, I bought these and started a trend at my barn...everyone loves them!):


http://www.doversaddlery.com/product.asp...





Then, start saving to buy a really nice pair of tall boots such as these (warning: start saving NOW, and wait until you%26#039;re growing has slowed, as you do not want to have to continuously pay to replace field boots):

**Always pay attention to how much you%26#039;re growing when purchasing apparel**





I hope this helped.
Reply:It all depends. Are you going to show a lot or just use them in lessons? If they are only for lessons get the cheaper pair (espialy if your still growing) save getting a nice pair after you after your done growing and plaing to show a lot. All tall boots are stiff and first and are a bit hard to get use to, but they are wonderful afterwards. Also get zippers it hurts to have someone pull the boots off. I hurt my back badly getting a pair pulled off.
Reply:these boots are $60, but I really really like them! they%26#039;re the kind that i used last year and the year before that at shows! theyre simply great! easy to put on and take off! theyre super comfy and only take a few weeks to a couple months to break in! i love these!

Reply:You really shouldnt buy under $50-$75 ones. They are usually plether and are stiff and dont strech at all. (expierence). I would request paddock boots because tall boots are normally for show. So get paddock botts that cost between $80-$150
Reply:It depends, are you still growing?





The less expensive boots may need a bit more care to keep them in good shape and will wear out quicker than a more well made pair, but if you are still growing, you are likely to outgrow the boots before they wear out.





The other thing to consider is whether or not you are going to show. There is no need for tall boots if you are not going to show and they can be hot and uncomfortable in the heat of the summer.
Reply:I would get half chaps. That%26#039;s what I ride in, paddock boots and half chaps. That way I don%26#039;t have to worry about getting my nice boots dirty. I%26#039;m searching for good boots right now too, but I%26#039;ll only wear them in shows.


Here%26#039;s a nice pair of half chaps for a good price.

Good luck.
Reply:if you are going to get a tall boot.. do not get the cheapest pair out there..they are stiff and uncomfortable. (especially the pleather ones!)





the 2nd ones seem better. get one that fits your foot and calf best (not too loose or too tight) also look for one with the zip up instead of slipping them on..they are a pain.








i personally like paddock boots better with half chaps..its so much more comfortable.





well good luck!
Reply:Ariat is my all time favorite and very comfortable and very pretty! My sister got hers from stateline tack for $100.
Reply:The second ones look better. They appear like they will last longer and are more durable.


On the price side.....check a site such as ebay for the same boots.


Chances are they will have the same boots NIB(new in box) for a much better price.
Reply:you don;t need tall boots at all if your not showing. i think you should save your money for other things you may need. you shouldn;t wear out tall around the barn.

Best boots for hacking in?

just wondering what sort of boots i should hack and school in...


im soon to be getting a horse and so need to get all his bits and bobs! he has tendon injuries so i thought maybe tendon boots but are these just for jumping? would i be better with brushing boots? i dont really want bandages as i dont trust myself to do them properly!!


also if i do buy some do i buy a size up for the hind legs if they do not specify fore and hind boots? (hes a 16.1hh thoroughbred)


annnnnd finally any brands that you would recommend??





thanks :)

Best boots for hacking in?
tendon boots are not just for jumping but i would tape them on if your hacking
Reply:i use Roma sport boots they are great! they protect support and are incredibly easy to put on. they can go on all four legs and can be used for jumping, schooling, cross country, anything you like and they don%26#039;t rub like other boots. they protect the whole lower leg. i use them for everything as my mare is very sensitive and they are the only ones that she will were that work! a little tip is don%26#039;t buy the cheap boots in any style as they will be very weak and if caught may rip and get stuck with the horse struggling to get away. you want the best quality! =D
Reply:Clarendon make really superb boots. They are great for jumping and have clips, so they would stay in place for hacking. The only down side is the fact that they have a lining that is fluffy, so they would not be great if you plan riding through mud. You may prefer the plastic type that are more easily washed. There are many makes of these on the market and most of these also have clips. Woof wear also make a tendon/brushing boot and these are super soft and wash well, but you may need to tape up if hacking because they only fasten with Velcro. However Woof do make double Velcro boots and the fastenings are pretty sturdy.
Reply:always be cautious. the ABSOLUTE BEST BOOTS for hacking and jumping in are :


bell boots


Eskadron front and back boots.





call up the company and talk to them or go online. E-bay is your best bet because the boots are a little pricey. $ but you can order from their website too! they also come in cute colors!!
Reply:I put on my horses just brushing boots, over reach boots and knee boots when i%26#039;m out on the roads as a slip on a tar road will graze the knees pretty bad. But it depends on what you intend to do while out. whether its just a gentle stroll which the abouve boots will be fine or if you plan to let some steam off may be best to put tendon boots on the front but i%26#039;d keep the rest the same.
Reply:I would recommend you hack in brushing boots and I always find WOOFWEAR to be very good boots for everyday use.


for a horse like yours I would say you should either buy medium or large boots depending on how thin his legs are - Id say large should fit ok though!

Reply:I have these great combat boots from Converse. I%26#039;m actually surprised Converse made combat boots. I couldn%26#039;t find it on the actual Converse site, but you can find it at any military supply shop like Ranger Joe%26#039;s or Brigade Quartermaster.
Reply:Are you talking about people boots or horse boot? For people boots, I would try on a pair of Ariat Terrains, very well made, comfortable and durable. For horse boots, Professionals Choice makes some really nice ones.
Reply:I wear rune boots with +5 stamina when I go hacking. The feds will never catch me with my stamina bonus.
Reply:KNEE BOOTS!





If he%26#039;s not prone to brushing then you don%26#039;t really *need* anything else but knee boots.
Reply:moon boots
Reply:what the first person said
Reply:Either use tendon boots or you can get tendon support boots which are very good - they look like brushing boots but are elasticated and cannot be put on wrongly. I was given a pair by a lady who invented them as I had a pony recovering from a tendon injury. After a few tweaks in sizes etc they went into commercial sale.





You are quite right that bandages are dangerous in the wrong hands - I got good at it because I had to change all four bandages 4 times a day for over a year!





Your boots will be %26quot;Horse size%26quot; - or simply measure his legs and take those measurements to the tack shop.





Enjoy your horse.
Reply:My personal choice is a good pair of tendon boots, this is only because of my cob going out on a hack with a %26quot;friend%26quot; and coming back with both hind tendons pulled, cue one year of nursing and large amounts of money spent! If your thoroughbred is fine then be careful what size boots you buy, I buy woof wear and find them generous sizing, pippa funnel range though is smaller fit, would see if any friends on your yard will lend you a pair to get sizing right or speak to knowlegable person wherever you buy them from. And lastly can i agree that a must when out hacking is to wear knee boots, have had many tumbles on thinner types like the one you own and would highly recomend.
Reply:i would buy a good all purpose set of brushing boots or exercise boots so you can just put the same set on each time. i like woof wear club boots but they are very basic boots and for more support or for a proper brushing pad look for brushing boots instead. there are so many brands that ive used and i havent really any problems with any of them - just a case of checking out your local saddlery or a catalogue and picking what you like. when it comes to size most boots come in %26quot;hind%26quot; and %26quot;fore%26quot; as the fore are slightly smaller but it depends on your horses legs - my 15.3 hh 3/4 tb has such skinny little legs i got him pony hinds for the front and cob fronts for the backs!!!!

Are wedge boots really all that practical for the snow?

I%26#039;m from Miami, and we%26#039;re going on a ski trip in Vermont for my senior trip. (We%26#039;re renting the ski boots/pants/equipment etc.)





I am totally unused to cold, and my feet seem to hate socks since I sweat like noone%26#039;s business. And I actually despise the cold, but I got out-voted for the trip...so yeah...





Anyways, are the cute wedge boots practical for the snow and sidewalks and stuff around the lodge area? I really don%26#039;t feel like falling on my ***. But I don%26#039;t want to get any horribly ugly boots, since I don%26#039;t exactly have a big reason to get boots in the first place so they better be cute for the few times I DO decide to venture North.





And I%26#039;m really short (5%26#039;1) so I%26#039;m not exactly liking the idea of wearing flat boots, after the height takes away most of my leg length and makes me look stubbier.

Are wedge boots really all that practical for the snow?
I live in a place that gets lots of snow and all my boots are wedges. They work just fine. The only trick is to look at the bottom and make sure they have some traction. But yeah I wear them every day and we have 4 feet here. Good Luck. Have fun on your trip.
Reply:Sorry, but wedge boots can be dangerous. Sidewalks and roads can be icy and it would ruin your vacation if you fell and broke your head open or something. Don%26#039;t worry about being unfashionable, because most people will be wearing flat boots. Have fun! :)
Reply:no. wear flats
Reply:yeah , just do a lower wedge , i live in the chicago suburbs and i see ppl wearing those kinds of boots all the time
