Has anyone tried these paddock boots?

I’m looking for something to replace my ancient Ariats, and don’t love the newer model Ariats.

I prefer brown, and also need a narrower / lower profile ankle than the Grand Prix b/c my half chaps won’t fit over the super tall ones.

These look interesting, but Waldo interested in other suggestions if you’ve got them! Preference would be to stay under $300, by I would go a bit higher for the perfect boot. My current boots have been kicking around for 7 or 8 years, so happy to pay for quality & durability.

Drooling here, especially over the ones at Malvern. I ride too much to own such expensive paddock boots. Between riding and getting them wet washing my horse, etc. They would not last long enough!
I have Ariat zipper water proof and Ariat fits me well so I will stick with them…Darn.
Please let me know if you get them and how they are!!!

Another vote for Tonics. Dover has them. They are a bit narrower fitting than Ariats — I’m on my second pair. I bathtubbed my first pair and they are fine with thin socks. My second pair is 1/2 size up and will be fine with thicker socks for winter.

The reinforcement on the outside, where the outside stirrup bar goes, is a great idea.

I’ve never worn the Sarm boots but I’ve seen them in person and they’re stunning!

I had a pair of Tonics but passed them on (unworn) to my then-trainer, as they were a bit too big and I wasn’t wild about the Euro-sporty styling. Very comfy, though - Schockemoehle put a lot of work into their development and you can tell.

My current “nice paddock” recommendation is Parlanti. I have the Z2, which runs around $350. They are seriously as comfortable as my Nikes and very elegant to boot.

The Tonics made by Schokmouele are waterproof !! Love them and the half chaps!!

I purchased my Tonics Stardusts on Amazon for $180 + free shipping

Love them and although they are a slightly different model than Dover’s, I would never ever pay Dover’s prices.

Try Tucci. Malvern carries them. They are expensive but they are the only boots I can find that zip that fit my narrow feet. They are very comfortable. I am replacing a zipper on one of the boots now but they are used almost every day. I would definitely buy them again despite the price. They are comfortable, very pretty to look at and am hoping I can get 5-8 years out of them. Ariats are too wide for me. And they don’t hold up.
