Curious to see if anyone has tried out the Parlanti essential boots. I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled for reviews as these boots are extremely budget friendly for someone who still wants a nice polished look.
I noticed from pictures they have removed the stitching at the top of the boot and have added a canvas lining. I am a bit skeptical of the canvas liner. However, I want to know are these boots worth purchasing for a nice schooling/showing boot? Or is it worth it to pay the extra for the Miami’s?

Based on how quickly we “ride through” the regular version of these, the canvas liner may be a blessing. I have repaired the boots 2-3 times already
If you plan to sweat inside your tall boots, I think you’ll be unhappy with cloth-lined boots after too long. It would suck to have $500 that reeked. I don’t think the leather on this modestly-priced Parlanti boots is better/longer-lasting than the stuff used on their original boots. But for the fit, and given what else is out there, even a reeking pair of $500 Palantis might be a good thing.
For the same price you can get the Ego 7 boots (They are designed by Tucci but produced at a different factory). They are very well made and have an E-Tex inner panel that prevents a lot of the wear most boots get. I’ve had mine for almost a year and they have held up great for schooling and showing.
