What period are these boots from?
The 3-buckle riding boot style became popular in WWI, copied from British officers. This style remained in use until boots and breeches went out of fashion in mid-WWII. These boots are a reproduction of that style.
What are the boots made from?
The boots are made of real leather. They feature a full soft leather lining. The boots have toecaps, which are suitable for use with stirrup irons.
Are the soles durable for riding?
The soles are a little thin, and some boots have had pads added for increased durability. While suitable for occasional riding, they may not withstand very heavy use. The boots are otherwise well-made and of excellent quality.
What is the colour of the boots?
The boots are a tan colour. This tan can be quite bright. Some boots have been dyed a mahogany brown to achieve a different shade.
What are the buckles like on these boots?
The boots feature a 3-buckle style. The buckles are designed to stay open, preventing them from snagging on the holes when removing the boots. The calf straps can be short and may barely reach the buckles on a medium calf.
Do these boots have a toecap?
Yes, these boots have toecaps. The toecaps are designed to go into a stirrup iron. This feature makes them suitable for riding.
