Bandolino Women's Chosen Riding Boot

 (8 customer reviews)

Its difficult for me to find quality shoes/boots, because I don't purchase leather products. After searching for hours, I found these nice boots on-line and I couldn't be happier. The finish is somewhat shinny, but it gives a very polished look. I have received many compliments on them so far, I've only had them for a few weeks, I only hope they hold up well with lots of wear!

These are synthetic uppers - but you are not paying for leather. Well made, look good - I rec'd a lot of compliments on these. I can wear in northeastern Ohio salty slush and wipe them clean. Nice fit through the calf but I do not have large calves. There is a small elasticized gusset at the top of the boot for ease. True fit otherwise and zippers work smoothly. I did order one-half size up so I could wear socks with these - keeps my feet warmer. Have worn with shorter skirts and tights as well as longer skirts - they work well with both. I'm pleased.

The boot looks great from the front, but from the side it looks almost like a rain boot- wide ankle and calf. It fits ok in the foot and has a nice lining, but way too big in the ankle and calf with makes them look cheap. I didn't even need to unzip them to get them off (and I'm a size 10). A little disappointed since they looked so nice online, but will keep them to wear with jeans tucked in.
