I was in the market for a riding boot that was going to be more comfortable and give me a bit more height, given that I am only 5’3’’.  My biggest issue with my current riding boots is that I can only wear them for a couple hours before my feet start to ache. 

 There were a couple of boots that I had thought about purchasing but I wasn’t totally sold on any until I saw these.  They had a nice stylish look, the heel I wanted and they were waterproof.   As soon as I got them I put them on and wore them around the house, they were instantly comfortable.  The first time I wore them riding, I rode for 100 miles straight.  My feet were comfortable the whole time.  I felt like I had good traction and I could be flat footed on my bike too.   Usually once I get to my destination I want to peel off my boots right away, I was fine walking around for a couple hours in these and getting back on the bike.       

Fit:

I typically wear a 6.5 and these boots don’t come in half sizes, so I got the 7.  I’m happy with the way they fit.  I thought that I might have to wear a thicker sock but I rode in them this weekend wearing a thin sock and I was totally fine.  No slipping or rubbing anywhere.    

Traction:

Being a smaller girl I sometimes have a hard time maneuvering my bike around especially if there is an incline (like my driveway).  The soles on these boots have a lot of grip, much more then my other boot.  This is not something I thought about much until I tried these, what a difference! 

Comfort:

I put these boots on and was shocked at how comfortable they were even with the bigger heel.  They are soft and reliable with still feeling that they are durable.  There is no need for any break in time they were comfortable instantly!  I felt completely stable and balanced wearing this 3’’ heel with no worries about twisting an ankle.
