Sergio Grasso Boots - the most comfortable riding boot ever?

[No_Angel]

I tried on a pair of sergio grasso boots a while ago in a tackshop and loved them, and this morning the pair I just bought off ebay arrived:D
They are really too big around the foot and calf,so I will probably have to sell them again, but they are so comfy!

My footwear has to be ariat everything because my feet are so picky, but these are lovely!

I also have a pair of ariat bromonts which are slightly too small for me, I may well sell those and buy a another pair of sergios, these are heaven (I am wearing them at the moment,lol!

[posie]

ooooh now - if you decide to sell..... what size are they? :D :D :D
i'd love a pair!

[Daffy Dilly]

Gorgeous!

I love love love mine. I'm even dieting to fit back into them, so it must be love. :p

[disgruntled]

I've got a pair, they fit like a glove and I bought them used.. even so they cost £120 over eight years ago. Still in perfect condition though.

These are the Vincenza I think, size 8 with an XW calf, which is 17 inches.

Here is a link with a size guide (although it's slightly confusing!)

I have a pair, I bought them for showing.. they cost me.. £399 :eek:
I know its a lot of money but I thought they would be worth it.
Have only worn them a few times and am hoping that they wear in to be a bit more comfy.. have the biggest blister on the back of my knee, its soo sore... but i think they make them a bit longer to allow for them to drop when they are worn in.
So for now watch this space... cos at the moment they are not that comfy xx

Ouch, blister behind the knee does not sound nice!

I know.. it is very sore!! I thought I would wear them for my lessons too to try and soften them up a bit only to get said blister and then have to do first ever walk and trot test the next day in the same boots.. OUCH..

Do they take a long time to wear in then? These ones here are so soft and supple.

I dont know.. I hope not!!! The ankles have started to soften.. but the rest is still quite hard... TBH I have only worn them about 4 times..x

[Daffy Dilly]

Nope. :D

I have a similar brand or boots called "Regalli Ricci", which are made by Sarm Hippique and thy're quite comfortable to wear and fit nice and snug without being too tight around the calves or ankles :)

Italian made riding boots with a back zip, generaly tend to be very comfy and fit snugly which is great, although my boots are going to need a quick coating of leather balm and conditioner to help make the leather more subtle again, after sitting on the a shelf for the good portion of 5 years and not being put to good use in that time :)
