Ok, so buying these was a leap of faith, as I have had no prior experience with the brand.  Now that I have I will make them my GO TO for boots!

These are tough and warm and (surprise surprise) pretty dang good looking!

I have not tried riding in them -- I really just wanted some excellent mucking/working boots, but if it gets cold enough I may try them out.  I don't think they would work with your traditional english stirrup, though.  The seem a bit bulky and stiff... but who knows.  We'll have to wait and see.

I can't find one thing to complain about these boots.  I was almost sorry when the rain stopped and I couldn't really sink my feet into the mud anymore!  Of course, they skim along top the firm ground nicely too :D
