Good afternoon,
A month ago got a new pair of tall ridding boots fit perfect but in front of the ankle the boot hurts really bad. Would you know of a way to break them in at the front of the ankle. Please let me know

Using a stair to stand on and push your heels down works really well to break in boots too!

Hello–Great article on boot fitting! Just one more question: Will a zippered field boot drop as much as a non-zippered field boot? How about a zippered dress boot? Even less drop?

I love the look and feel of tall boots, but they are soo expensive.

For those of us with really big calves, mine are 21″ of muscle, tall boots are a real challenge since none of the manufacturers make any that large and custom boots, if you are not showing, are a huge investment at over 500.00. I saw an article many years ago in a equestrian magazine that suggested getting a nice, but less expensive boot and taking it to a good cobbler to add leather to the boots. It worked like a charm, although I did go back and add elastic at the top for a better fit. It is on the inside of the calf so you never see even when I am just walking. I’ve had those boots for years now and only spent about 150.00 on them. I keep thinking about going back and having zippers added since I have high arches as well, but they work ok as they are.
