Long riding boots or jodhpur boots??

I%26#039;ve been riding in jodhpur boots since I started riding (at age 3) and I%26#039;m now 14. I think long riding boots look so much smarter, but are they more comfortable than jodhpur boots and half chaps? I%26#039;m debating on whether to buy some decent long boots for this season, (and I know that technically, I have to be 16 before I wear long boots, but I%26#039;m still curious as to which is better)





So, which do you prefer to ride in? which is most comfortable? Long or Jodhpur????





Thanks in advance!!!! =D

Long riding boots or jodhpur boots??
If you are just schooling or hacking about, paddock/jodphur boots and half chaps are much more comfortable.


If you are showing, then of course, you must wear the long boots once you are able.


Boots take a bit of breaking in and you can expect them to hurt until they do. Also be certain to get them tall enough, because once they break around the ankle, they will fall and you will lose the overall good looks of tall boots. There is nothing worse than %26quot;short%26quot; tall boots!!!
Reply:once u go long ull never go back . so much more support and comfort
Reply:i like long and i thing it looks best
Reply:jodhpurs and half chaps are more comfortable in my opinion. however, for shows they do look better. : )
Reply:at age 14 you should be wearing tall boots for atleas showing. i wear regular boots with half chaps riding but when it comes to showing i always wear my tall boots. its because of a specific age my trainer said. if you feel comfortable in the jodhpur boots just wear them riding on a regular basis. but deffinatly wear the tall boots showing....[i%26#039;m 15 just to let you know]
Reply:Well, for about a year I was riding in jodhpur boots and chaps but then I decided long boots looked smarter so I bought a pair... They feel really strange at first but you get used to them. What I now do is ride in long boots in the winter (because then it makes jobs on the yards easyer cause I can walk through mud and just rise off my boots with a hose plus they are warmer) and in the summer I ride in chaps and jodhpur boots cause that way it%26#039;s not as warm and if I get too hot working on the yard I can take off my chaps so why not buy a pair cause you dont ALWAYS have to wear them.
Reply:I always used to ride in long boots but the first time I tried short boots and chaps I was stunned by the way I could %26quot;feel%26quot; the horse. You don%26#039;t get that feel with long boots.


Now I don%26#039;t think I will ever go back to riding in long boots
Reply:I only wear long boots when I%26#039;m showing, I don%26#039;t particularly like the feel of them. Leather boots take a lot of wearing in, and while mine are soft and worn, I%26#039;d still rather wear short boots and chaps.





Long boots do look smarter, but not on a child. The picture looks a little wrong if someone younger is wearing long boots.
Reply:do you mean tall boots? because in hunter rings you do not have to wear jods until you are 16. it really depends on how tall you are and what you are competing in. if you show a lot and would use the boots a lot then buy them, but if you dont show a lot, it would be a big waste of money. tall boots, once broken in can be comfortable. i personally do not ride without half chaps or tall boots ever, so tall boots to me would be more comfortable.
Reply:I think that long boots just lood nicer. When your showing it%26#039;s nice to have them. It%26#039;s really nice to find some cheap ones so you should take a look at these.

The rubber ones (above) are the MOST comfortable boots that Iv%26#039;e ridden in. I am only 12 but I think long boots are the best way to go!
Reply:I usually just wear paddock/short boots and halfchaps for lessons.


Then, the lesson before the show, I wear my tall boots and at the shows as well.





But thats just me..
Reply:Id buy the long boots because you have to be comfortable while riding exspecially if ridin s long time.So go with whats better for you,Iwould.


Good Luck to you!!
Reply:well, I think that actually jodhpur boots are like WAY more comfortable. I don%26#039;t show or anything so its good to just ride in them and do like barn work and stuff so if you don%26#039;t plan on showing stick with the jodhpurs .
Reply:It depends what kind of riding you do. If you do a lot of showing and competitions then long boots would definitely be better but if you don%26#039;t then I%26#039;d got for jodphur boots. They%26#039;re comfier I think and can be used for other things as well. Also you don%26#039;t want to really be wearing smart long boots when you%26#039;re mucking out. I%26#039;d personally choose jodhpur boots.
Reply:jodhpur definatly, long boots tendto make me feel stiff. Jodhpur and much more comfy
Reply:I would say to get long/tall boots. I know that I think that they are comfertable. I have both types of boots and cant really say either is worse than the other they are both fine. You have to be 16? Wow. I started wearing tall/long boots when I was 10 lol.
