Rockport Women's Leiden Boot

This is the fourth or fifth pair of riding boots I've ordered, and the first pair that finally fits my legs properly! No more slouching or bunching leather around the ankles! Thanks to the full lace-up style, this boot hugs my ankles and calves, giving me that classic snug look I've been searching for. My calves are very slender, and with the laces tightened up all the way, there is just enough room to tuck in a pair of jeans. Perfect!

The leather isn't the kind of quality you'd find on a top-of-the-line boot, but I think it's excellent for the price- much nicer than what I've been seeing in other boots within this price range. And I like the lining; it makes the boots feel so much sturdier than others I've tried. The shaft doesn't flop over- it stands alone solidly.

Let's talk about sizing. This is so tricky when buying boots online. I wear a 9.5 in pumps/heels. After reading some reviews that say the Rockport runs small, I ordered a 9.5 (even though other...Read more

I bought these boots some time in the summer and absolutely loved them from the minute I put them on. Having worn them pretty much non-stop for six months, here's a summary of my experience:

Pros:
- These are top quality leather. I'm anemic and get cold *all* the time. I despise winter because I could never find a shoe that didn't leave me with borderline frostbite. And if you've been watching the news, here in NY, we've gotten nothing but snow since a few days after Christmas. These boots keep my feet dry and warm and even covered in salt and snow I get compliments all the time.
- They look amazing. They look and feel like quality boots because they are. They successfully blend style with great craftsmanship.
- They wear great. I'm hard on shoes. I might as well be a 6 year old the way I go through footwear and these boots somehow keep up with me.
- Price. I got them for around $100 dollars and I couldn't have spent it any better...Read more

This pair of boots have a lot of presence, are original and are adjustable since they are lace-ups. I have very skinny calves and although they don't fit snuggly around them I can wear these with jeans, I don't know about wearing them with tights only though I would look like the cat with boots. Another drawback is that the leather gets scratch marks easily. But all in all a very nice pair of boots, get many compliments on them all the time.
