First impressions
These boots looked quite “blocky” and workmanlike in style, like a good sturdy pair of winter boots.
Overview of performance
These boots turned out to be a great pair of hard-wearing everyday long riding boots. They had quite a snug fit and kept my feet pretty warm. They had thick soles and were really sturdy, so I was quite happy and comfortable walking around in them, too.
Sam’s likes and dislikes
They were really comfortable. I would recommend these are a good pair of everyday riding boots — they are great value for money.
