Does anyone know a good riding boot for shorter people?

I am looking for a tall style riding boot but every one seems to be too high for me. I am only 5%26#039;0. does anyone know a brand that makes shorter riding show boots at a reasonable price??

Does anyone know a good riding boot for shorter people?
ARIAT.. i am young so i am still growing.. so i am still short.. its a bit expensive.. but they are long lasting... and depending on what sole you get they are very comfortable *ariat cobalt blue is most comfortable to me*
Reply:Well you could look at ariat. It is more expensive but worht it in the end because they last longer and they also come in a variety of sizes. Also consider rubber boots.
Reply:I%26#039;m 5%26#039;3%26quot; and have the same problem. For my show boots, I honestly just got my boots (Devon-Aire%26#039;s are my personal favorite) and wore them around the house constantly and polished until they got softer at the top so they would become supple and crunch below my knee to where I needed them to be.





For everyday riding, I just wear paddock boots and half chaps - so much easier, haha. I fear to wear out my tall boots because it is a pain to go through that process to be them to my proper height.
Reply:I know you used to be able to go to the State Line Tack section in Petsmart and get measured and they would order you a pair of boots that fit your measurements. Now that SLT is leaving Petsmart, I don%26#039;t know if they will do that anymore, but you can ask. If you order online you might be able to order in different lengths...just go to a store to find a boot with the right fit, then look online for the height.
Reply:I%26#039;m four ten and i have your same problem. Luckily for me i have tiny feet so with some work i can find boots that fit, but just barely. There really isnt a particular brand i would suggest. One thing you might try (although it is not as formal) is a pair of short ancle high boots and halfchaps. Some halfchaps can be very nice and almost look like tall style boots. I have even seen gran prix riders use them in shows. This gives your leg a little more mobility and alows you to fit your foot and your leg differently. I had a pair of long boots for a while, but they were just to long. I was hoping I would grow into them but I stopped growing in the 7th grade (sad i know). Now i just use my short boots and halfchaps. I suppose you could get boots custom made, but it would be extremely expensive. Alright, thats all I got. Good luck!
Reply:i would get short boots, and then half chaps to put over... still looks pro:)
Reply:Yeah, you%26#039;re right. You%26#039;ll probably need tall boots for shows. I%26#039;m VERY short for my age, and I buy a brand that I think is called Dublin.
Reply:If you%26#039;re riding at home, I would say use paddock boots and half chaps. However, if you%26#039;re showing and you need a field boot (tall boot), I would suggest trying either the Ariat%26#039;s or the Devon Aire%26#039;s. You could try taking them to a leather store and having them reshape the top of the boot. Or, if you have an unlimited budget, you could get custom boots. That%26#039;s what I ended up doing and I LOVE them. They%26#039;re expensive, but they fit wonderfully (obviously) and if you take care of them, they should last a long time. Good luck!! Hope I could help.
Reply:You don%26#039;t say whether you are looking for western or english. If you are looking for western boots I would suggest a brand of Ropers. They are low and have either slip on or lace up. For an english boot, I would look online. You will probably have to get a boot that fits your foot then have the top cut down by a shoe repair to fit your leg. This would work for english or western. Good luck!
