Damn the expense, no second thoughts
« on: October 25, 2013, 03:49:49 pm »
Just nearly blew 195quid on a new pair of riding boots, ariat ones, god they where sooooooooooo comfy, however I, thank god, had second thoughts on my way to the tills and went back and got the mountain horse rim frost ones instead, and they are nearly as comfy but they do have a sheepskin footbed to keep my toes toasty, so I saved myself about 70 pounds ... Well I didn't really got a cat bed and a new pair of jods as well

Anyway, my feet will now be toasty warm & dry instead of cold & wet

Sorry for the banality of this post, just happy with my new boots and wanted to tell someone,




I'm lonley

Cheers, just hope it's dry this winter, must say the boots look like they're going to last, and it's nice to know that they do what they they say they do.

My (expensive) Tuffa leather boots have/had a fleece lining and were so very comfy until I wore them with no socks and got suction and my foot trapped in the inner lining, I ended up cutting them out! >:(

Brijjy, oooo yes, they are nice, I just can't justify 200 quid at the moment, mind I'm more than happy with my mountain horse boots, I've ridden in them 3 times now, they are fantastic

I've actually got Woof Wear boots that have been good so far this year. Downside is, I've nearly worn them out and only had them 8 months!!!!
