Finally!! An all day, in the stirrup (english), and on the ground, really comfortable, durable, breathable women's work boot. They run a little large, which is mostly due to plenty of room in the toe-cap area for the toes,no rubbing, pinching. No problems (yet 6/10) with the zippers. I belive that I will order the other version with the elastic, for the cross country, & water work, I like to have options.
