Horze Rover Dressage Tall Boots

These are my fist pair of dress boots. I decided to go for synthetic for now and buy leather when they're on sale. Having used these a few weeks now, they will be my daily schooling boots. They are very comfortable right out of the box. The size was slightly wider in the foot area so I just put a thicker insole in, which provides me with better arch support anyway. I wouldn't say they run big, just roomie. I wouldn't go down a size. Great if you like to wear thick socks. They dropped a bit and got easier to zip up after a few wears. I didn't measure so I'm not sure how much, maybe 1/2 inch. They were quite tight and tall when I first got them and now they're perfect. I'm a regular calf/medium high in Ariats. They're super soft, not stiff at all. The inner suede is great for keeping your leg where you want it and not slipping around. I sprayed it with suede protectant. So far I'm very pleased with them and enjoy wearing them.

I have had my first pair for about eighteen months, I used them for everyday riding as well as at competitions. I still use them for everyday use but I received a new pair for Christmas and they will be strictly for comps. My first pair have sand in the zip now so it has trouble zipping up every ride, but I wore them HEAPS so I think it's fair to say I got good wear out of them. I received many compliments on them and unless you told people, they had no idea that they were synthetic! I love that they are synthetic because as an eventer it makes them super easy to clean. The only thing I didn't really like was that the felt on the inside was annoying to clean and looked shabby as it wore on.

I bought this boots as a second pair to my lovely leather boots. However I prefer these ones! You could not tell they are synthetic and the mud just wipes off them- so much easier to my leather boots! They are a good fit and comfortable to ride in also.

I loved these boots! then the zipper started failing. It didn't even fail on the zipper mechanism, the zipper itself failed. I am so bummed! What a waste. Hopefully customer service will fix them for me. I only used them for 3 months before they broke!!
