Did you ride in them long, or just try them on? I had friends who already
had theirs and loved them. They said they could be a little stiff in
beginning, but needed some breaking in. I've lost a bunch of weight and
mine are now starting to be loose. I can't afford another pair so I don't
know what I'll do when they're too big.

I'm the opposite on the boot. They are the best riding boot I've ever owned,
however, they are a little narrow where my little toe is, and if I walk
inthem very long my feet get sore. I have some boots my husband bought me
for bday called Golden Retrievers, and they are the most comfortable boot
I've ever owned. They weren't terribly expensive and they needed no
breaking in. I just wish they came in black to match my chaps.
