I bought these for a 2-day riding show (for English dress requirements) and they were perfect!! Felt molded to my leg and very comfortable on top of the horse! Seem like nice quality leather, cleaned off easily and look very sharp!! Breaking in was a breeze, however by the middle of the second day I began to feel little blisters on the back of my heel when I walked in them. I think this should hopefully be prevented with thick, high socks, or perhaps with a slightly larger boot size around the heel. ;) Honestly, what I'd expected and I look forward to wearing them to future shows!!
