What paddock boots and half chaps should I buy?

I stopped riding regularly about two years ago, and I have outgrown my paddock boots. I am going to take lessons again and I need to find half chaps and paddock boots that are well made but affordable.





My budget is about $30-$40 for the half chaps and $50-60 for the boots.





I wear women%26#039;s shoe size 7 1/2.





Please help!

What paddock boots and half chaps should I buy?
Go to Stateline tack first. Because petsmart is getting rid of them, all the items are on clearance. I went there yesterday and got a pair of ovation half chaps for $27.99

Reply:Go to a tack store. I love Ovation for paddock boots, but I have Ariat half chaps. The Ariat half chaps are out of yor range, but they make up for the price in the way they hold up.
Reply:Checkon Ebay. I am really fond of Ariat. They make the Ariat Tek/Endurance line that is fantastic. They wear well, are comfortable and light and easy to care for. You can buy them used, and save yourself a TON.


Glad your back in the saddle! RIDE ON!
Reply:I have a pair of Ariat zip-ups. I got them on sale, so they were only 34.99 but I don%26#039;t think they%26#039;re that cheap anywhere else!


Half-chaps, I have Dublin and they%26#039;re great!





Go to statelinetack.com great stuff for better prices!


doversaddlery.com- more expensive, but great for english stuff!
Reply:Hi I would get Tuff Rider lace up boots. I have them and I have the same shoe size as you and they are very comfortable. I got them for 65 dollars. I have Grand Prix half chaps but they were expensive so I don%26#039;t think those would be good but they are quite comfortable. Ovation haps are good but they usally have a really hard zipper. they are affordable and good looking. I really hope I helped!
Reply:They are about $90 new but you can find some great deals on ebay and these shows have literally lasted me for AGES- through mud and muck and tons of riding- Ariat Heritage II Paddock boots- any paddock boot by them are really niceee.





Now, I prefer zip but the lace seem to be a little less expensive sometimes. Ovation Sport Laced Paddock boots are really comfortable and nice too- I borrowed a friends one summer and loved em%26#039;. They are only about $64 new... so ebay can come in handy again.

If you buy on ebay, I suggest you either go to a nearby tack store and try on some boots first so you know your %26#039;boot size.%26#039; I%26#039;ve found that my boot size is actually one size BIGGER than my normal everyday shoe size. Paddock boots tend to run a bit small I think- but just find out whats right for you and then buying online will be so much easier and then you%26#039;ll know what your getting fits!





As for the half chaps- here are some OK deals- I wouldn%26#039;t say they are the BEST quality but then again, you only ride in them not get them muddy and wet like you would the boots...SO they dont have to be as good.

If you are into fun colors (which i totally am since you can%26#039;t show in half chaps anyways) you can try these :]

They are for children so I don%26#039;t know how old you are or what size but they are always cute!





Now if you are going to pick any half chaps that I suggest i%26#039;d DEFINATELY try these.

I have the brown ones and I LOVE THEM. They are sooo nice and offer and amazing grip. They haven%26#039;t once faltered me and they always stay zipped! (which i often find other half chaps coming undone.) They are extremely popular at most barns because of this and many other reasons- they also stretch to give or take some space since it%26#039;s hard to fit calfs. They are only $34 new and I%26#039;m sure you can find them for cheaper someone else. But overall they were one of the best investments I%26#039;ve made. Check statelinetack.com for these or their catalogue- a lot of their stuff is on clearence and i got these for $12!!!
