zip jod boots? Which ones?!?!

[piccolo]

Hya, i am looking to get some new booties! I like short zip boots or lace ones. I like brown boots more, but i know some styles look better in black;). The ariat herritage 111/11 ones, look very nice they a v. comfy! But i could only justify that price if they are good. I already have some muckers that i can ride in if need be. But the boots would be mainly for comps and my lessons. I especialy like the ones with that detail on the toe (i feel fussy)! Can't spend any more than what the ariats would be (AT ALL!). I like these ones:

Mark Todd Chetwode Jodhpur Boot

Tuffa morgan

Shires oxford lace boot (might be better in black)

Aquacats Zip Front Boots

Dublin Assurance/Advance Jodhpur Boots

Ariat Heritage III Zip Padock Boots

Saddlecraft Zip Jodhpur

Mountain horse windsor

Toggi Richmond Oak Brown

Phew, Any ideas? What looks best?

Dont know if you have a horsatack near you but i got some brown zip jod boots from there, i only paid £20 for them but they are really nice and i plan to use them to show in this summer!

I have the Ariat Heritage III boots and they are the best boots I've ever owned, so comfortable... have done a days hunting and not had 1 blister or rub from them. Also got the Mountain Horse Windsor which are ok but not half as good as the Ariats, took a while to wear in and aren't as comfortable.

Ariats all the way, you won't regret the extra money. And if you look after them they will last you a long time. Its just the difference in comfort, you'll be amazed!

Yea, they were so comfy when i have tried them on in the shop. I suppose if i ever grow out of them or something i can always plonk them on ebay so it means that the price would be more justified if i don't like them for whatever reason...

Toggi Augusta. They're my fav boot, I wear the with Tuffa leather gaiters at comptitions.
