I am going absolutely ga-ga for riding boots this fall. They are not just for riding horses anymore, ladies. I have a pair of black Franco Sarto's and a pair of black Tory Burch, both from last fall; but I feel that I have truly reached riding boot bonanza with my new Frye (style: Dorado Riding) boots. Seriously, they make me sigh outloud in an undeniable state of bliss when I pull them on.
The riding boot is more or less defined as a flat boot (no heel or not much of one, anyway) that comes up to your knee. It can be pull-on or zip-up, depending on the style. Riding boots generally have more of an ovalish toe (no points here in riding boot territory). Think of all those Ralph Lauren ads I'm sure you've seen dozens of times. That man knows true riding boot style.
I'm literally in love with mine--especially for their endless versatility. They are a fabulous staple in anyone's closet. Take a ridic riding boot and couple them with a great sweater dress (with or without tights). I'm envisioning a hiphugging dress that has bell sleeves and a cowl-neck, hitting just right above the knee so you can show off your perfect shoes. Or dress-up a pair of super skinny jeans with the boots and a chunky sweater. If you're going slim on bottom it is so complimentary to choose a baggier, slouchier fitting top.
Frye Dorado Riding boots found on zappos.com. But check with Steve Madden for their styles-- SM usually does a great job in recreating great looks for an affordable price!
Happy Riding!
