Overreach boots

“I really liked these stylish, two-toned overreach boots. They were easy to put on and didn’t lose their shape after washing. A wipe or hose down was all they needed after exercise, and they stayed securely in place while hacking and jumping. However, I found the sizing quite small. They offered great protection, so I feel they’d be useful for cross-country.”

“I really like the styling – they’re a bit flashier than other boots, so great for schooling or working in at dressage competitions. They’re very easy to put on and remove, and the fastenings stayed secure despite lots of use. They could twist a little, but still offer very good protection.”

“These boots proved to be robust and flexible, and suitable for turnout as well as riding. I like the soft lining and they didn’t rub. There are a few small scrapes on the strike pad, so they’ve done their job, but no other signs of damage. They’re very easy to keep clean – a wipe-over with a sponge had them looking like new.”

“These stylish boots are wonderfully lightweight, even when wet, and didn’t mark or rub my horse. They offer great protection and didn’t move. The only downside is that the sizing comes up small. The Velcro fastenings are secure, and easy to do up and remove. I feel they’d be suitable for all activities, including eventing and turnout.”

“They’re exactly what you want from an overreach boot – great protection, and easy to put on and take off. I’ve used them for everything from turnout to schooling and hacking out. They didn’t slip once or rub my horse. I was really happy with them, as not only did they perform well, they did so at a brilliant price.”

“These lightweight boots were great for everyday use and smart enough for competitions, too. The neoprene was ideal for the warmer weather and they didn’t rub, fall off or slip. The only downside was that the material collects dust and dirt, although they wash and wipe down easily. They’re true to size and, as a bonus, match my cross-country colours!”

“These boots were fantastic. They stayed firmly in place and never twisted or moved when hacking or jumping. However, the sizing did come up quite small. They didn’t rub at all, were easy to wipe clean and stayed looking smart. The strike pad picked up a little bit of dirt, but this was quickly brushed off once dry.”

“These boots didn’t rub, seemed breathable and dried quickly. They give really good coverage and I like the strike pads. The Velcro was secure, even during fast work and jumping, yet I could easily take them off with one hand. They did loosen a bit during the test period, but I just tightened the fastenings. The black fur stayed fluffy despite being washed and worn through water.”

“These boots look so comfy thanks to the lambswool collar. They fitted well, but I had to use a size larger than usual. They’re tough, despite being lightweight, and haven’t shown any signs of wear. The Velcro didn’t budge, even in the wet and mud, and the no-turn ball prevented them from spinning.”

“The boots feel well-made, although they come up a little small. The Velcro fastening stayed secure while schooling and hacking, and they didn’t twist. My horse has a tendency to overreach, but these offered plenty of protection. They’re smart enough for lessons and competitions, and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a simple, practical boot that’s made to last.”

“These boots are basic, but served their purpose well. They offered good protection for jumping and flatwork, and I like that I could match them to my cross-country colours. The fastenings were secure, but the boots spun a bit because there was nothing else to keep them in place. The rubber didn’t split and the trim stayed fluffy, even after going in the washing machine.”

“They’re well made and offer excellent heel protection, and I like the soft lining and padded cuff. They stayed secure for hacking, schooling and turnout, and also for travelling on hot days, and they seemed breathable. I love the tab on the closure, which makes them so easy to remove. They’re quite pricey, but have performed and washed well, and still look great, too.” 

“The wide Velcro tabs offer plenty of adjustment, and make them really easy to put on and take off. They were great for schooling, jumping and roadwork, but I found that grass seeds got caught in the sheepskin cuffs when hacking off-road, which were fiddly to remove. The no-turn balls were pretty effective, and overall they’re smart and stylish.”

“These boots are robust with classy pops of colour. They start off a bit stiff, but soon become more pliable without losing any toughness. I found they could turn slightly when going at speed, but always settled back to the correct position. The fastenings were secure and they cleaned easily, often with just a blast from the hose. Overall, I’m really pleased with them.”
