Hi all! After a break of about 10 years, I've recently decided to start riding again. I was never exactly what you would call proficient even when I was riding before, my experience basically was around six months of weekly lessons. Then we got a mortgage! Anyway, my dilemma is this. When I first started, I used short boots and chaps provided buy the riding school, but really didn't find them comfortable. So then I went on to long rubber boots which whilst we're much more supportive, we're also very rigid on the ankle. So now I've got to buy boots again, I was thinking long leather ones might be the best bet? Ideally I'd like this to be the last time I buy any for a long time! lol!
