Listen up horse girlies! I have been searching for an every day work boot that I can wear while choring and training on the ground that looks cute, protects my feet and doesn’t collect hay or arena dirt in the laces and tongue. I FOUND IT. I was afraid that this boot would be MUCH heavier on my foot than my usual Blundstones. While it is slightly heavier, the trade off in comfort, support and safety is completely worth it. I train large draft cross horses and no matter how aware you are around them, inevitably one stomps on a toe every now and then. This comp toe will protect me! I pulled these out of the box, threw them on and headed out to do evening feeding and a groundwork session with a colt. A couple hours later, I realized I didn’t even notice them (except for the few times I thought “wow, these are so cute”) The comfort insole is amazing and definitely working it’s magic. No break-in period required!! However, I originally ordered the 7.5 in Women’s which is my normal size in most every shoe and boot, but sent them back after trying them on in exchange for a 7 in Women’s (or 5.5M). I could tell from just a brief slip on that they would be too loose in the heel and likely cause a blister situation. A half size down and you should be golden. I would buy these in any color Brunt makes them in and will probably want a pair in the soft toe when they are back in stock. These boots are so comfortable, I could see myself hiking in them and so cute I could see styling them…
