FRYE Carson Riding Button Boot


FRYE Cara Roper Tall Riding Boot


Riding boots from Frye have a simple pull on construction without a zipper or any additional details and decorations. Model Carson is running slightly big, so order them a size smaller and this boot is surely made for tall women. The other model, on the contrary, is small and for the perfect fit, you will have to size up. Bottoms are slippery, so be careful on the icy street. In general, the quality is average.
Boots are available in black, cognac, beige and chocolate color.
- Simple design
- Comfortable
- Soft insoles
- Slippery bottoms
- Not good quality of the materials
Sam Edelman Women’s Penny 2 Wide-Shaft Riding Boot


These Sam Edelman boots will work great for women with wide calves, but they are not bulky at the ankle. They feature zipper with snap tab at the back. Leather upper is very soft and will conform to the form of your foot, though the area near the toes can be slightly snug, as shoes have an almond shape. Boots are available in black, whiskey, olive and gray color.

- Sturdy bottom with a grip
- Cushioned footbed
- Zipper at the back

Sorel Women’s Slimpack Riding Tall II Snow Boot


Sorel riding boots are very warm, waterproof and most importantly durable. But they lack some ventilation, so probably your feet will get wet after a few hours of wearing. There is no zipper or laces just simply pull on construction and it can be difficult to put boots on. There are some complaints about slick bottoms, though soles have some grip.
But all in all, this model is quite comfortable and reliable.

- Not breathable materials
- No zippers or laces
LifeStride Women’s Xandywc Riding Boot


LifeStride boots have extremely wide calf area with a stretchable piece of fabric at the back, there is enough room for skinny jeans. But at the bottom, shoes are pretty narrow, so if you have wide feet you should order boot half size bigger. This model feature zipper and it is quite easy to pull the shoe on and off. Also, it is said in the description that boots are made of leather, but actually it is synthetic material. Available in 3 colors.

Breckelle’s Women’s Alabama-12 Knee High Riding Boots


Breckelle’s Outlaw Women’s Lace Up Knee High Riding Boots


Here we have 2 models from brand Breckelles, they have similar look, only having a difference in boot shaft height. If you have shorter legs, probably the second model will be a better option for you as the upper is a little bit lower and won’t hit the knee area and restrict movements. Boots have a lace up front, so no matter if you calves wide or narrow, you have the opportunity to make the perfect fit. And for easy on and off there is zipper entry. Alabama shoes are available in black, brown, beige and tan colors and other boots are presented in brown, tan and ice.
The biggest and most noticeable disadvantage is the shoe’s specific smell. Also, quality of used materials, as well as other details, is quite poor. So, these boots will be great for a party, but they are not the best choice for everyday wear.
- Stylish design
- Lace-up front
- Zipper for fast and easy on and off
- Non-slip bottom
- New pair of boots has specific smell
- Not durable zipper
- Poor quality of materials

The material may feel slightly stiff, but it will stretch after a while. Bottoms have a nice grip, so shoes can be worn during icy or snowy weather. Boots are presented in 4 colors: black, taupe, tan and brown.
But the quality of these shoes is not very high, they will wear out pretty quickly.
- Adjustable buckle straps and laces
- Zipper entry
- Good grip on the soles
- Soft insoles
- Poor quality of the materials

Buyer’s Guide
What to wear knee-high boots in the riding style with?
In the traditional sense, jockey boots are knee-high boots, characterized by a low square heel and the absence of a zip (on the classic model). Initially, they were intended only for riding, but in the middle of the twentieth century, they became widespread along with the hippie movement. Today they are considered a must-have of the female wardrobe. Most fashion experts believe that ideal jockey boots should be cognac-brown, but we advise you to pay attention to black models as well.
In winter and during rainy autumn boots should be comfortable and practical. But, of course, it is perfect when the footwear combines convenience with beauty and style. The knee high boots in the riding style are exactly what you are looking for if you want to look stylish, regardless of weather conditions. Do not be intimidated by the name. These boots, indeed, were originally intended for riding, but falling into the hands of fashion designers, quickly transformed into everyday modern boots. Do not worry about anything buying any jockey boots as it is not difficult to find appropriate clothes to create a great look with them. There are plenty of options.
Knee-high boots in the riding style are usually decorated with miniature stirrups and thongs, buckles or zippers will please those who are always in search of adventure. They can be worn with light dresses or you can combine them with tight jeans. Jockey boots can be leather or rubber, demi-season or winter. These boots are very fashionable and comfortable, practical and at the same time stylish.
Let’s analyze what to wear jockey boots with. The main clothes for jockey boots, of course, are narrow skinny jeans. Dress them in a trendy sweater with the effect of hand-knitting. But not only jeans are suitable for creating an image with knee-high riding boots. The knitted short dress will perfectly contrast with such boots. For autumn, a short raincoat or any other short coat, a warm voluminous poncho will do. One of the best options would be the combination of a fur vest, narrow trousers tucked into boots and a three-dimensional leather bag.
Use of Knee High Riding Boots in Different Styles:
Classic jockey style
If you want to create the correct image of a jockey, choose a coat in tone for boots, or better replace it with a checkered jacket. This style is perfectly fit trousers-riding breeches, which are now very relevant for young people. You will not do without a turtleneck. And don’t forget to wear a cap.
Styles of “Country” and “Western”
Jockey boots – decoration of the style of “country”, because they are successfully combined with light short dresses. For the “cowboy’s girlfriend,” narrow jeans dressed in boots are suitable. A short leather jacket and bag, preferably brown or red, checkered shirt, knitted jacket, simple jewelry will complement these images.
What to pay attention to buying boots in the riding style?
When selecting jockey boots in a store, be sure to consider their specifics. Do not forget that their direct purpose is horse riding, so classic models will be made from pretty rough leather. Hence, we conclude that the size and style of such boots should be selected especially carefully so that they fit well.
For standard boots of this type, the distance from the knee to the shoe should equal your palm, otherwise, they will resemble Cossacks and will not fit into the jockey style.
