New Boots

I have been wanting to buy a pair of riding boots for a while. The pair I was originally going to buy weren't in stock at the time and have since been discontinued. Instead of driving all the way to Derby House, I found a local saddlery and bought them there instead.
The boots are pull-on instead of having a zip but they were fairly cheap and they weren't too difficult to put on and take off.
The boots are lovely and comfortable. They are about an inch taller than my Le Chameau wellies and reach all the way to the back of my knee. They are a lovely snug fit too. I can't fit my hand between the boot and my leg. They might be a little too snug because the boot presses against the front of my shin when I walk. Since I'm wearing them with my jeans at the moment, they might be better with thinner trousers.
I am just wearing them around the house today and they are quite stiff and difficult to walk in but I'm sure they will soften up eventually.
