I just saw these boots and I love them. My question is do you think they would look to out of place in the show ring? I’m mostly training and teaching right now but I may be showing my young horse this season.
I don’t know if you could get away with them in the hunter ring. I would think they would be great in the jumpers though. Those boots look so sharp and the foot looks a lot like the volant which is super comfy. I’m in love!
They would be fine. I’m at WEF right now and am constantly surprised by how many colors I am seeing in the hunters. Jackets, shirts, helmets…its a lot more colorful than I thought it would be!
Those are super tempting!
Rel6- Good to know! I’m pretty sure as long as they fit and look as good in person as they do online I’m getting them.
Madaketmomma- Yes they do look like the Volant foot so I’m hoping they are as comfy.

I curse you for finding these! I already have them in my shopping cart online. How come I can only find them at Dover? Even ariat.com doesn’t have them. Do you think they will actually come out soon and be available everywhere (they say back order at Dover)? I hate paying the shipping charges at Dover.

I heard a release date of mid April 2014
I asked Dover today when they will be in stores. They said after the next catalog. I know I can’t find the anywhere else either.
I do like them and now want them, must have a pair to add to my collection.
I am dying to own the ones with blue, but OP, if you’re looking for hunter appropriate boots that are basically the same but all black did you see these?

I would like a pair of each! 
PNWjumper- I saw those also and like them but they are also $200 more than the ones with the blue. I’ll just stand out a little. It will only be locals at the moment anyway and the show organization has more to worry about than my boot color I just can’t wait until they come out!
I need these. To add to my navy helmet, gloves and shirt. I might stink up the riding arena with my craptastic riding, but I’ll look stylish doing it!

I’m curious about whether the blue ones are mismarked on price? It seems odd to me that they would be selling another pair of Volants so much cheaper than the regular Volants.
They aren’t labeling them as Volants so maybe they decided to offer a more affordable option. I’m hoping they aren’t miss marked.
They’re not Volants. The leather (perforated) is different, the footbed is different.
Is there a size chart available for these? I’d love to know if I even have a hope of fitting into a pair. 
Do we know why they are only offered in “short height”??

The Dover link has short, medium, and tall heights…
Dover ordered these for me to try in store, they’re estimating a mid April arrival.
Adding, short height had an estimated arrival of August.
