Will they drop?

I am fancying (I know I've asked on here before but I do fancy them anyways) a pair of Harry Hall rubber long riding boots. Two reasons, one, with the yucky winter weather coming I thought they'd be easy to maintain - am sick of ruining decent leather ones. Two, I think they look smart!
Anyway, they are within my price range also! But, I know they do a wide fitting (essential for my ample lower legs) but I am small height wise and wondered - do they drop like leather ones? Any input much appreciated.

I don't think rubber boots do 'drop' - the ones I used to wear didn't anyway!

Thanks for the reply - I managed to get a short fitting! hurrah hurrah! I can now just rinse them off under the tap with impunity! Rode in them this morning and loved it - I know a lot of folks aren't keen on rubber riding boots, but to me they seem ok!
Didn't get the H Hall ones, tho, ended up with the Aigle ones.

As long as you're happy with them, who cares what anyone else says?!

I've got a pair in my tack room, I find them more comfy than wellies, warmer plus you can ride in them and of course they are low maintenance.
