My mom (who is the best ever) gave me something I have been lusting after for years now. Waterproof boots! Luckily my tack store discount made them a pretty good deal. After a few days of wearing them though I think they are totally worth full price, after they have survived the winter I will talk about them again.
They are the
Ovation Alistair Country Boots.

I ordered the 9.5 (41) and they fit perfect, I've worn them with breeches and over jeans and there is just enough room. I have a 15 inch calf in most half chaps and such. My feet have been toasty warm with wool socks and I love that I can do chores and stay dry!

They may actually make me hate snow in November less. The inside has cute plaid lining, granted no one knows it is there, but you. Kind of like cute underwear.

All the cute! |
The laces and buckles on the side make them pretty adjustable, they could tighten up maybe another half inch from where I wear them and loosen up about an inch. Height wise they end just below the back of my knee (about a half inch). I need 16 or 17 inch half chap. You may be scratching your head about what I do for show boots...cry. Yes I'm 5'3" with size 9.5 feet, let's just say that stock show boots are crazy tall on me.

I've pretty much worn them nonstop since I got them on Thursday and I haven't had one sore moment. I don't think I will be wearing anything else until the end of spring, kidding, not really.

Happy! |
