Dressage Boots- Which ones to get???

[FEIJuniorBound]

Ok so now that I got the double bridle sorted out, the next thing I am saving up for are some nice dressage boots. The ones I am looking at are custom boots, either the Konig, Cavallo or Petrie boot. Does anyone have any experience with any of these dressage boots? Good and bad please, also where did you order your boots? How long did it take for them to come in? Thanks in advance.

I have Konig dressage boots and I have had the same pair for about 10 years now. They are more expensive then the Petrie, but they are a better made boot. I have never tried the Petrie's, but know people that have them and do like them. Some people like the look of the Petries better, and others like the look of the Konigs so that's totally sbujective. The price difference is about 4-500 for full custom boots so it is significant. I would say if you are riding every day, and possibly more then one horse per day, and you go through boots fast, go with the konigs. If you are easy on your boots, and the extra money is an issue, then you are fine wiht the Petires. They are a nice boot. Hope this helps! Oh and I have no experience at all with the Cavallos.

Thanks I ended up ordering a pair of petries from dressage extensions. The price was amazing- less then $700 for semi customs with zippers, spanish calfs and includes shipping. I can hardly wait!
