I spent a long time trying to find the right riding boot and finally stumbled on this one. The boot is beautiful with just the right heel (1" rubber) and shaft height. I am 5'5" and it comes up to my knee. The only advice I can give is if you have a wide foot this boot probably is not for you. When I first tried on the boot I was going to return them due to the very tight toe box..wouldn't call them pointy but definetly narrow. I wore them around the house with thicker socks for about 2 hours. The next day when I tried them on again they seemed much better! Also the leather itself is a bit on the thin side, but all in all great for the price!
