Riding boots

[softgrey]

both cute and SO reasonable ...
very nice calexico...

 

[ragazza]

when i think of riding boots i think of a classic pair of polos...
very well-cut, simple, and elegant...
i've had my eye on these two pairs for ages
but living in southern california it always seems a bit inappropriate
with 72-degree winter days

but f**k appropriate...
a little irony is always nice...

the first pair is polo ralph lauren for 228
the second is etienne aignier for 163

^ That's not what I would call Riding Boots....

I put it in 'quotation marks' It's the same style no? If not I still love them.

Haven't spotted them over here yet. Everyone just clings to their converse and uber-pointy heels.

 

[miss.fashionista]

they have cheap ones on ebay! i got a pair for only 9 bucks.

 

[calexico]

i am a sucker for the real thing...
so here are some real riding boots...

I would like to know what do you people think of them? I live in finland in here and i haven´t seen them so much.. yet.

Haven't you? I've seen quite a few people wearing them...
But anyway I think they look best with skinny jeans and I've been looking for the perfect black leather pair of riding boots but haven't found any yet. I don't want them to be too "Ralph Lauren"ish...

did you ride as a child?
i cannot figure out how the real equestrian boots zip up...
there are some i've seen with shoe laces...
but i am assuming there is a side or back zipper that goes the full length of the boot?

ps glad you liked those... i think i will get myself a pair...

 

[Gincat]

Calexico, those boots you posted are so beautiful. Perfection.

 

[Tinetush]

Calexico - Those you posted is what I would call riding boots, love them dearly!

Bonchic - the ones from JCrew (no 5) are gorgeous! love the strap.

 

[calexico]

thanks adore, gincat, tinetush...
i am going to order a pair...
they are 18" long, which sounds ridiculous since i am 5'5"...
i only have so much leg!

but we'll see...

I love the riding boot look. I don't think I could ever pull it off though.
I have two pairs of actual riding boots one rubber and one leather.

 

[Iva]

I love this kind of boot,I'm thinking of buying some as im going to ny in feb and i have absolutely no suitable footwear for the weather it will be.
I thought they'd be comfortable,practical and cute.

I tried on these boots and liked them..I'm not sure if the sole is too chuncky to be considered a riding boot?? They are Rocket Dogs.$128.00 on zappos.com but around $60 at DSW where I tried them on.

Do you think riding boots are worn better with skinney jeans or with the jeans rolled up above the boot?

My boots go on with a pair of hooks and silky socks over my pants and come off with a boot pull. They aren't easy to get in and out of! I have both field boots (with laces) and dress boots (no laces) and they're both custom made to fit perfectly. The field boots just provide a little more ankle support with the lacing.

yeah I think real riding boots are brilliant but like softie mentioned, they are quite expensive to get the real thing.

i see...
so it is completely a matter of pulling them on and off...
no zipper...
i will have to wear very silky soft socks to achieve this...
thank you winter blossom!
