"Got these for my 11 year old. Treadstep offered the only option in her measurements (tall with very thin calf). It is a quality product. They look really sharp with her black paddock boots. There was a small break in period where she was wearing them without zipping up to the top. Beware, the leather scratches easily. I still like the leather of my Ariat Covington's better. Overall, we are very happy with our purchase. Picture soon to come."

"I wrote a review on these the other week where i was unsure of them (been an ariat girl for YEARS). but after riding in them a few times i deiced i liked them. the only real issue i have with them is the elastic that goes under the boot is a bit big witch makes the ankle a little "loose" however i found that my spur strap helps to keep it from being too bad and i do plan on taking them to a cobbler to have the elastic shortened. I do really like the look of them and I also like that they have a similar feel to tall boots while in the saddle. they are by far the best fitting chaps i have been able to find with out going custom. I'm a 13" calf 16" hight and i find these are pretty true to size. I just might have been converted from ariat ;)"

"I found these chaps fit perfectly (I measured 13 1/2" on my calf and I rounded up to 14" and a 16 1/2" on the height and I, again, rounded up to a 17") and they look really great. I haven't had them long so I can't attest to their durability but the leather is high quality and I anticipate them wearing well in the future. I had no issues breaking them in. They look great on the leg and are not bulky around the ankle like many chaps. I would recommend these to anyone looking for an attractive half chap that fits well."

"I Just got these as a Birthday gift and I was so excited about them. They look great and I love all the sizes they come in (makes it much easier to find a pair to fit me). But the ankle area is almost what id call baggy/wide and the elastic that goes under the foot is too long witch makes the chap "balloon" out around my boot when i walk or push my heel down (in riding position). Also they are very stiff. I really was hoping these would work because as the temperature gets warmer this spring I'm getting tired of wearing my winter riding boots every day (my old chaps are broken)...back to the drawing board i guess... :("

"These half chaps are great so far. I have only had them for about 3 weeks but they have a nice look to them and didn't take much to break in. The only negative about them in my opinion is the small zipper and zipper pull, although larger zipper would detract from the sleek look of the chap."

"Tried these vs. the TS Deluxe ones (which I had for the past 5 or so years). Both are very nice. These were a bit more aerodynamic (as hubby put it) and really offer a more tidy look. Also, I am able to put my spurs on over them without having to adjust the straps too much. Can't speak to durability yet as I've just had them a week or so.
I will say, if you get these half chaps -- use some sticky spray the first few times you ride in them! I did not and fell right off when my 4 yo mare spooked and dropped her shoulder. I usually stay glued on when she does that, but these just weren't quite as grippy right out of the box as the Deluxe ones are (or as my 5 yo Deluxe ones are)."

"Noticed immediately that the leather was cheap and not the normal Treadstep quality that I have become used to over the last 15 years. I have exclusively worn Treadstep half chaps and found them to be a good value product so ordering another pair was a no brainer. Wrong. The sizing ran large around the ankle and they were stiff as boards. I then compared the old Treadsteps (same product) to the new ones side by side and found them wanting in many respects including inferior stiching, but most glaringly the poor quality of leather that was used for the new pair. I highly doubt they are produced in Ireland anymore despite the labeling and am dissapointed to be let down after depending on Treadstep to deliver a quality product after all these years."

"I was a bit weary when I bought these, because I had a pair of (cheap) Tredstep half chaps that fell apart within months and made me nervous about the brand, and previous reviews said they ran small. First off, I measured my leg, and when I got these, they fit perfectly. I ride every day, and these have held up fantastically. A side note: the ribbed leather on the back has been worn smooth, so it looks like the back on the Tredstep Donatello Field boots, but this has not affected their use in any way. These help me keep me leg on, and they look great doing it."

"I am a loyal tredstep customer and finally had to buy a new pair of half chaps after mine were shredded from use. The tredstep chaps that zip up the back seemed to have mixed reviews but these chaps are so easy to zip after you get used to it and require no break in/stretch out time. They fit slightly big if you expect to have super tight half chaps that stretch over time. These fit perfectly right out of the box. They are so gorgeous with my tredstep paddock boots that I almost feel guilty wearing them every day. Everybody at my barn says they look like nice quality tall boots when I ride. Could not be happier with the price, quality and they seem to be made just as well as the tredstep deluxe that I always buy. Very happy with these!!!"

"In just 3 rides, these chaps fell apart: 1) the top emblem along the spanish topline came off 2) the stitching on the inner calf started coming undone 3) the color wore off in the inner leg...also they don't conform to the leg, very boxy feeling and the leather is stiff and poor quality even after multiple oilings. I'm usually not one to give bad reviews but wow, these chaps are awful. I heard very good things about tredstep boots but these chaps are not their best product."

"It's a good product. The size runs small, so after you measure your calf, add an inch. The other thing is that the hardware, snaps, are really hard to do and undo. Also, I hate the ribbed leather, which does nothing but collect and hold dirt. It's a good quality of leather and lasts a long time, and Treadstep is the only chap maker I've found that offers a real variety of sizes. I just purchased a new pair of Tredsteps with no ribbed leather and a good snap, and I'm sure I'll like these much better."

"I cannot say how much I LOVE these half chaps! I am extreamly tall (I have a 36" inseam) and so it's almost impossible for me to find boots or half chaps that aren't custom that will even come close to fitting me. When I read that these are too tall for a lot of people, I knew they were for me. They fit PERFECTLY!! And I can't tell you how often I have been complimented on them. I'm also a trainer and do nothing but work and ride and so far they have held up without any trouble. They've broken in to fit like a glove around my calf (my amazing fiance stretched them a little when I first got them with coke bottles!) and they don't restrict me in the least when I ride."

"I ordered these half chaps about 2 weeks ago to replace the pair of tall boots I usually ride in to school. I prefer tall boots but didn't want to pay the tall boot price (college student) but these are as close as you can get. They look so classy on and fit well. The back provides a good bit of stretch and it broke in really quickly. They seem very hardy, though its probably too soon to say for sure. Highly recommend so far, though!"

"I bought these half chaps to replace my custom chaps when they broke. Love the sizing options for my hard to fit legs, plus the chaps are very well made and look fantastic on. If you're in between sizes, size down-they do stretch. Took me a few days to get them on without a struggle but now they fit perfectly."

"I ordered a 1/2" size smaller than i measured although I believe it says order up. I would order a little tighter than you want because in a week of riding a few a day they have stretched out to fit my calf nicely.
I have paired them with the Ariat boots which have too high of a heal for the elastic. Im sure with Treadstep boots they would fit better. They just look a little short.
All and all great chaps for the price!"

"Purchased these to replace my old suede half chaps and as a stop-gap until I get a pair of tall boots. The fit is wonderful (surprisingly hard to find half chaps that fit guys well) and the look is streamlined and sharp. I expect to use these for a long time."

"After the Deluxe half chap button tore, I was advised by a representative to try these. So far I have been very happy. They are very stiff and slippery on my saddle as they have not fully broken in yet (~3 weeks of use), but they are of very high quality and once they have broken in I think those two issues will resolve. The fits is really good too, true to size."

"This is my second pair and I love them! It feels like they have improved the fit and leather even more than my first pair and the break in is non-existent. Out of the box and rode in them the same day. I love that they give a tall boot look, but with the comfort of a half chap. Get tons of compliments on them too. I have found they run true to size and the stretch panel in the back does have great give so keep that in mind."
