so i want some tall riding boots but don%26#039;t need leather field boots. I found some rubber riding boots. They seem perfect for me cuz i want rubber boots for mucking (my half chaps are really hard to clean) but I also want rubber boots to ride in.... if u have rubber riding boots, are they fine to ride in? like, do they make if more difficult? heres the ones I want:

Rubber riding boots: good or not?
I really didn%26#039;t like my rubber riding boots, they were awkward and uncomfortable.
Some people love them and they will keep your feet from getting wet. With me, they made my feet sweat, so I%26#039;d be sloshing around regardless.
A lightweight option might be field boots made out of fake leather, there are some decent looking cheap ones out there, I believe they are waterproof without the bulk.
Reply:I ride in some imitation leather (synthetic) top boots... they arnt exactly rubber... but pretty close too....i use them for breakers... because i get better grip from them... however i wouldn%26#039;t do alot of riding in them as if you dont have perfect lower leg control you can %26quot;rub%26quot; you horse... i think there are better ones out there... like these ones... so maybe something a bit better would be better...

Well good luck :)
Reply:yes they are :-) I had some and they seem to have more grip than leather
Reply:Yes, they look good for pasture or mucking out stalls. They look good enough to be show boots if you keep them clean enough. I dont know if rubber is allowed in the show ring though.
Reply:I have rubber Harry Hall riding boots but i only have short calfs so i do find them a bit restricting. I personally prefer half chaps and boots. Although once bedded in they do get better.
Reply:I preferred my leather ones, but only because I thought they looked better. Rubber ones are more than fine for riding in as long as they have a big enough heel of course.
Reply:i would say have 2 different pairs....for riding use the ones you have with your half chaps and buy the rubber ones for work around the stables
Reply:i prefer half chaps. It was sorta uncomfterable in my rubber boots. Oh, and they look fine.
Reply:I rode in boots like that for years - just kept my jodhpur boots for summertime. Long boots finally gave up last year and I haven%26#039;t got around to replacing them. If you are used to riding in half chaps they will probably feel a bit strange as you can%26#039;t feel the horse so much when you are wearing them but they are very hard wearing and keep your feet warm better than the leather ones.
Reply:Hi MIller!
They seem good. As long as they are not too stiff then they should be fine.

Reply:yes, im sure those will be fine. they seem like they might be stiff but im sure youd break them in. good luck =)
Reply:plz do not buy these you will never brake them in i had the same kind there better for mucking there are very stiff and just so uncoftable thats all i got to say to try to convince you plztake my advise
Reply:Rubber riding boots don%26#039;t keep shape, so they can be uncomfortable to ride in sometimes. They are good for mucking, but if you are serious about riding then I would go with leather boots. Once leather boots get broken in they are very comfortable and they really help keep your leg in the correct position. If it were me I would go with leather boots (they are also better quality and last longer). It might be good for you to get a pair of each, the leather ones for riding and the rubber ones for mucking. Hope this helps! (For the price of those rubber boots I would just go with leather boots)
Reply:I wasn%26#039;t particularly fond of my rubber riding boots...they didn%26#039;t quite fit my calf right and were a tad short for my leg. Also, in the winter they were ssssoooo cold. I prefer riding in jeans and half chaps and then if I feel like it (or if I%26#039;m showing) then breeches and leather field boots.
