Who Wore These First
This type of footwear was used as long ago as 1600 BC by riders who needed more support in the saddle. Riding boots are always tall to stop the legs from chafing against the horses’ bodies. Very often they have a reinforced toe for working in the yard.
Cavalrymen wore footwear with a slight heel to stop the foot from slipping out of the stirrups. Nowadays these boots still tend to have low heels or they are just plain flat.
Although this footwear was originally designed for riders, these days it is often a staple in a woman’s wardrobe. If you can only budget for one pair then please buy a pair of leather ones rather than boots made out of suede. The leather should be treated once a month at least to keep the wet winter weather out. It is also worth noting that plain boots will not go out of style and can be worn year after year.
There are different styles of this footwear available. High boots were invented by the British for the army and to keep the legs from getting damaged by low branches when riding out in the field. Nowadays this type is worn mainly for dressage. In this case this footwear is often highly polished and black in color.
Since the price of this type of boot varies greatly it is a good start to have a look on the internet. Before committing yourself you should have a price in mind and stick to it so that you do not over stretch your budget.
