Not-too-tall boots!

Foot size was accurate and nicely wide.

I got the slim calf, and yes, it was pretty funny, given my runner’s calf’s certainly aren’t those of a delicate Big Eq rider!

Success! The slim calf boots came! They are snug but I think will be perfect when they break in. The height is great. The company ships quickly and for free and emailed the return label for the first pair. Very satisfied.

Huzzah! I hope you get many years out of them! Glad we short dressage riders can share tips on gear here!

I’m a little late to the party, but for anyone else looking, I just went through a similar boot search for my petite 12yo and ended up with Petrie Sydney Junior which was really affordable ordered from Europe.

I really wanted a Spanish top dressage boot with no lacing at the ankle and a zipper but I didn’t want to shell out for a custom boot for a growing kid. Fortunately, someone here on COTH had recommended www.dutchridingboots.eu as a go to place for riding boot questions, and the gentleman there was incredibly helpful. He suggested I check the stock Petrie Sydney Junior sizes and see if there is anything that might fit.

Sure enough, perfect fit on paper (and, later, in person). He didn’t have the exact size in stock (Euro 37 foot with short, skinny leg) but Divoza did, so I ordered the boots on Monday and had them at my door in Chicago by Friday. Even with EUR75 shipping, the total was under $300, and they are lovely boots.
