TYSM! Just bought some talk boots ( My first pair ever! 😆) and I was afraid they’d be WAY to tall but now I know that they will stretch! SO EXCITED!

This is really helpful. My boots are too tall, but I now I know not to shorten them too much. I have long, narrow feet, but bigger sizes tend to also come with higher boots.

These examples have helped me with boot fit

Thank you for this. I had new boots for christmas and thought i would wear them to work to start breaking them in (i work on a yard) and my boss starts telling me that they dont fit me and i got the wrong size. That they shouldnt go up to the back of my knee. I thought they looked fine but she wouldn't listen to my opinion. Now i know i can get heel lifts and they will shrink after use, i will continue to wear them. They are comfortable to walk in and work in now anyway

I guess I'll just have to wait to see you there... have a nice ride to you too! oh, and thanks for answering

That’s good to know. I got worried bc I’m suuuuper short 4’10 exactly and i have been looking for tall boots that wont hurt the back of my knee and ones that aren’t too tall. I finally found some in my area but I’m not sure if i should keep them cus it hurts a bit when i bend my knees but i think its cuz its brand new and very stiff

[ShelbyLeigh-uj]

Hi!, so i got my first boots and i can hardly bend my knee..will this go away with time or should we return them?, or should we just get some heel lifters and deal with it because they fit great other than the hight

[fam.idstrom]

What if they fit perfectly around the entire calf and foot but have a slight gap between the knee and the outside of the boot (new boots), is this an issue? Or is it okay?

[ellawaugh]

Hello, so I got a pair of tall boots for Christmas, but they are to big on my calf’s, and when I bend my leg they dig into my legs. Got any suggestions:(? Because I’ve had them to long now so can’t return them!

I have very lanky long legs with long narrow feet and I recently got my first pair of tall boots - ariat heritage contour ll’s in slim tall 11. I tried them on and they definitely have some room around the ankle, and are only slightly tight around the meatiest part of my calf. No boots big enough in the shoe and tall enough in the calf are made slimmer, but I’m worried about them dropping too much or bagging around the ankle. Is there anything I can do?

[dead_accounttt]

Ok so- I just got my first pair of tall boots, but there way to big.. the feet are to big as well as how tall they are and there width. But I don’t know what to tell my parents since they were 500 dollars and I don’t know if we can get a refund on them, I also got them for Christmas so we couldn’t get them fitted- I also don’t know how tall they will be when the height drops, I’m just really worried that it’ll be a waste of 500 dollars and I’ll be unhappy and uncomfortable in them. I don’t know if you can get them fitted after buying them or whatever- help :’)

I LOVE THESE BOOTS! Do you sell World Wide?

[peterfitzroy]

how should paddock boots fit, i went down a size (8.5 vs 9.5) as the bigger sizes foot was slipping at the bag. current ones fit like a glove not sure if too small

[ZoeMosi]

When I try to order it only comes in sizes 8.5 8 7 7.5 and more my normal size in women’s is a 7.5 my leg height is 16 and my calf size is 14 what size should I get

[simaa..h]

i’m worried that my boots might be too short what should i do?

I am a new rider with a question. I recently got a pair of custom made dressage boots but the ankles, calves and boot openings are over 2 inches larger than my leg measurements. The sales rep said that is to allow room for the breeches / pants to tuck in but 2 inches seems excessive. What is an acceptable margin of sizing up from the leg measurements for a laceless, no zip dressage boot ? I would guess no more than 1/2 an inch. Anyone able to answer this? Thanks in advance!

[BastilaElendir]

My issue is, I just measured myself for a tall boot (Future purchase) and My calf is 14 inches, and height from floor to knee crease is 13... I'm short so I think I'd have to get custom boots, and I don't think I'll have $300 to shell out for customs. I've always loved the look of field boots and have wanted a pair of my own for several years. (Almost twenty since I started riding). Any suggestions on how to find a boot that will fit me and not be terribly tall in the shaft?

[Vlogs_withclaireandpenny]

Does this mean I should buy my tall boots a bit to tall like 1.5 inches to tall?

[JuliaN-fizw]

I’ve always heard your heel should have a little bit of a lift when you are walking

[abigailhutchinson]

how long does it take for them to drop?
