English Chaps/Boots/Helmets
Manufacturer: Mountain Horse
Model: Mountain High Rider II
Category: English Chaps/Boots/Helmets
Purchase: I paid $176 for these boots on ebay. I was tired of walking around with cold, wet feet. This has been a freaky wet year here in GA.
Likes: They look great. The construction is solid. The leather is fantastic. The zipper starts as high as possible, so I can really slog through some mud without fear of leakage. It took a little more than a week to break them in, even though I'm only 5' tall and they are standard height. These are very comfy boots!!!!
Dislikes: This isn't really a dislike as much as a caveat. These run very big. I have to wear two pairs of socks, which is not making me sad right now. It's cold. The wide is very wide, but the velcro tab at the top makes it easy to cinch them up. If you're wearing a lot of layers of clothing, these will not disappoint.
Quality: Soft, but strong leather. Extra tough construction--no leaks! The zipper works great. They are slightly insulated. I haven't cleaned them of yet, but stepping in a deep puddle seems to do the job well enough. There's no cracking or discoloration of the leather from prolonged submersion.
Summary: I am a Mountain Horse convert. In the spring, I look forward to buying a pair of dress boots from them. If you want warm, dry, and stylish feet, theses are the boots for you.
