I ride in paddock boots and half-chaps - no idea what make they are, nothing expensive, but they're super-comfy and now falling apart. I had some Ariat Bromonts for show use, but I've just sold them on eBay as I don't massively like riding in long boots - I have slim legs and narrow feet so get a better fit with short boots and chaps. Also, as I never ride in long boots normally, it make me feel extra weird when I put them on for shows, which doesn't help with the nerves! Anyway, as I prefer paddock boots and chaps, I thought I'd get some nice ones which will do for every day AND shows. I like the lace-up ones so was thinking Shires Bramptoms - anyone tried these? I'm open to suggestions.
What do you ride in, foot and leg-wise, and would you recommend it?
