Woof Boots
- Thread starter ragtime
- Start date
I have a pair - they're very comfy, but with winter approaching I'll be putting them in the cupboard til next year 
.
They're only waterproof upto the ankle (beyond where the foot part joins the leg they're water resistant but not waterproof). Feet and legs get wet after stepping in a couple of puddles so they're not really hardcore winter wear.
They are super comfy and do keep your feet toasty for mucking out though. So if you don't have a soaking wet field to march across I'd highly recommed them!
As for riding, I do ride in mine when feeling lazy. They're fine, but the calf cuts off in an awkward place (catches on saddle flap).

I have a pair and they are good at keeping your feet warm. However, they are bulky and uncomfortable to ride in I find. I have size 8 feet and I am worried that I would get my foot stuck in the stirrups. One day when I was riding in them, I had to reach down to remove my foot cos it had slipped through the stirrup and I couldn't get it back to the correct position cos of their bulkyness.
I did fall off with them on and my foot thankfully came free but I won't be taking that chance again, plus I've never managed to get all the sand out of the fleece, even though I hoovered them

I have them and I LOVE them!
I wouldn't say they are really rubbish where water is concerned - anyone remember all the snow we had?! I walked around 3 miles in the 3ft snow here in these boots, got home and feet were dry and warm
I suffer from very bad circulation and these boots saved me last winter - kept my feet very warm. Yes they are not wellies so walking around in really deep puddles wont work, but for your average puddle they are fine. I still came home with numb toes, but as I say I have very bad circulation, normal people will be ok
I did ride in them once and found them ok but not great - hard to get a decent leg contact, my share is very responsive, and these are quite thick on the leg so I was not aware I was touching her sides when I was and wondering why we were leg yielding, haha! I preferred my normal riding boots so I used to swap boots before riding, then swap back again (this is actually very good for keeping the circulation going in your feet)

)Was going to ask exactly that, i've been contemplating a pair, they look soooooo comfy, i'm torn as nowhere local to me stocks them so it'd be mail order or ebay, and i'm wondering now whether they'd be a bit too wide for the stirrups in a sz 6. Hmm, decisions decisions.... lol
I am planning to get some this year. I have a couple of pairs of the
cheaper 'Derby House' own make that are copies of these. I have ridden in them with no problems.
They have been great tbh, kept my feet warm and dry but thought I would
get the 'proper' job this year, lol.

I wore mine so much that the ankle bit actually cracked open! Found riding in them really cosy in the winter so kept on using them until one day I had to dismount in a freezing cold stream, snow everywhere(don't ask, he took a complete I'm stuck mum and I'm not going anywhere moment) and they got soaked and yes I had to ride for another hour in probably 2 degrees with sodden boots! Not funny, thought I might loose a foot! Monster however tottled along quite happy with his wee self for crossing the big scary stream!!
