My kids are in horse back riding lessons and cheap boots would hurt there feet and would wear out so fast. So I bought these boots. come to find out my daughters riding teacher wears the same brand. They are comfy and very very durable. I bought them one size too big so my daughter can grow into them. Even though it was a little to big for a while they still worked great. Now one year later they fit her perfect and still look brand new. I will be able to pass them onto my youngest daughter. I will definitely buys these boots again.
