My lovely mummy bought me some today (for christmas ;)) and they felt really comfy and nice on and had a good thick sole on them.

Was wandering if anyone's got or had any? And how long roughly they last?

I eyed these up last year.

Might have to go on the wish list again...

Thing is with two pairs of short ariats and three pairs of chaps, I can't quite justify buying long boots...hmm...unless of course they have some for cheap at Olympia ;)

Me Me Me, they are soooo comfy, right from the minute I started wearing them. Had mine for at least 18 months and they still look pretty good, wear them loads.

Good choice :D

eta I always wear mine to ride in

A friend of mine had this and absoloutely loved them! She did everything in them, in all weathers too! Can't say for sure how long they will last, though I'm afraid.

Quick tip - if they do get dirty, always clean them and oil them.

The leather is already oiled and waterproofed, last winter I was calf deep in mud and about 3 weeks ago I realised that I hadn't yet cleaned them and they were looking a bit clay coloured, so gave them a clean off with the old saddle soap and they have gone back to there normal colour and all nice n shiny again now.

Best pair of boots I have ever had (and I have had a few :rolleyes:) I do have a pair of Rectiligne hickstead boots that cost about £300 and the Toggi ones are way better

Oooh cool :D

Yeah I need some short Ariats too :) good for all things really, just nipping up the yard, to the tack shop etc. and then to the yard on way home if you had to :D

I like to have a variety so once I got my Ariats I'll be okay...

Short leather jod boots, mucker boots, Hunters, Toggi's and Ariats :D Bit of everything ;) & I'll do my best to look after them :o

Yup, I know they are already oiled and waterproofed, but its a good idea to keep topping it up to prolong their "life" :D
