TuffRider Women's Starter Lace Up Laced Paddock Boots

For anyone else that’s confused by the size options, 75=7.5, 85=8.5 etc. I was unsure but took a chance in hopes that that was what it meant and sure enough the size 75 i ordered was a women’s 7.5 Very happy with the look and quality of these boots, we’ve had several pairs of the same boots over the years and have never had an issue. They always hold up well enough to pass on to a younger rider after my daughter grows out of them, and she isn’t gentle on her stuff. She had a pair of Saxon boots that the sole fell off of within a few months so we switched back to these and never looked back. Bonus: The size i ordered was only $15 which is an incredible deal for these!!

We ordered two pairs and both were moldy. One pair just had moldy shoelaces, but the other pair was absolutely covered in mold, and came in a beat-up box that was also moldy.All of that light, powdery residue in the pictures is mold, and as you can see, the entire pair of boots and parts of the inside of the box are just coated in the stuff.We don't lightly leave bad reviews but this is honestly a health hazard, especially for anyone with mold allergies, compromised immune systems, etc. We briefly considered just cleaning and keeping them, but just getting close enough to inspect them caused a coughing fit, and keeping them in our room for too long caused breathing problems. We bagged them up before returning them, for the sake of the postal workers, and put a note inside the box for whoever opens the bags.This really raises red flags about the conditions these boots were stored in, and the working conditions of whoever had to handle them.

When I received these they were so comfortable. One day while at work, my foot hit the bottom of a door. The toe of the boot was dented and remained that way until I was able to remove the boot, put my hand on the inside of the boot a push the dent out, which is still visible. About a month later, the inside back of the boot, inside the lining, began to move around as if the support had not been attached properly. I continued to wear the boots a while longer after that, but it became annoying to have to constantly adjust the inside just to get a comfortable fit. I've decided to take my 10+ years old boots and have them re-soled. I know that I can rely on my old, comfortable sturdy boots!

So far I've been very impressed with TuffRider boots in general. My daughter has had several pairs. She outgrows them and then donates them to her barn for other young riders to use. She's never had a pair wear out or become unable to be donated. I bought my first pair and have abused them in the short 3 weeks that I've had them and they held up better than my Shires tall boots. I'm impressed and will definitely be a repeat customer.

I started getting back into horse work two years ago and needed an affordable pair of paddock boots.I was initially so excited about these but no amount of break-in or thick socks can stop them from giving me debilitating blisters. I had to wear sandals for two weeks after wearing them for three hours. I still want these to work but I ended up leaving my coveted world of paddock boots for western boots.I’m still trying to break these in nearly two years later. Any amount of time while walking results in heal rubbing.

I bought these shoes and loved them, wearing them only occasionally for a costume, but after wearing them for two straight days of heavy walking they literally ripped across the top. Unacceptable for shoes to last less than a month; they should be built to walk in. I wasn't hiking or anything unusual. I can't imagine how quickly they would fall apart in a ranch environment.

Boots were as pictured. Once cleaned- ok. One of the boots is frayed a little on the tie part along the tongue.... both boots laces were covered in a thick layer of mold...

A lot of people hated these boots in the reviews yet I bought them anyway and I'm happy with them. They have their faults. When I first tried them on, my feet said I needed to return them...they were pinching, ouch! I have short feet but they have a bit of bulk to them. I wear them four or five days a week and they've shaped to my feet and actually fit pretty well now. If I really overdo the tramping around in them, I get blisters on my lil' toes... but that happens in any shoes. The synthetic leather is good for cleaning stalls and I think they'll last a while. The little clasps on the inside would grab my socks but that was an easy fix. I must add that they are really nice looking boots and I'm happy with them! I went on JPC fine riding products, looked up the shoes and printed out the sizing chart. I seriously recommend everyone does it. Also, make sure to print it out at 100% I hope that helps! =)
