"Honestly, I was expecting much less for $39.95. I wanted a decent looking paddock boot to slip on alone or with half chaps and not have to fret over when they got scuffed, scratched or filthy. To look at them without intense scrutiny, they definitely look like leather. They have a nice, tailored style. They fit true to size with no weird issues whatsoever. The sole is sturdy. They seem like they will hold up quite well for what they are, and it won't rip my heart out if I have to replace them.
My only small quibbles are that the ankles feel a little "cardboardy" at first (though they do supple up after two or three rides-- I never got sore or blistered from them) and that the insole is quite hard-- it's fine for me, but if you have picky feet or are going to be wearing them ALL DAY you might want to use some kind of insert. They're also not at all warm for cold weather riding, but I didn't expect them to be.
They're exactly what they need to be, and I'm glad I purchased them."

"My daughter has grown up in these boots. She started with a child's size 1 and now she's in a ladie's size 6. She's only 8 years old, so, as you can imagine this would get expensive as quickly as her feet grow! Not so with these boots. Very good quality for this low price!!
She has two ponies that she rides almost every day and the boots hold up very well.

"I have had a pair of Saxon field boots ever since I started riding. I have owned at least 5 pairs in the 12 years I've been riding which is a testament to how well they hold up. I ride at least 5 times a week and slog around at the barn in them. They clean up great and LAST FOREVER!! Any season, any weather, anywhere. Definitely a great buy!"

"I didn't expect these boots to last forever at the price, but they did fall apart pretty quickly. I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty rough on my boots, but after about a year of ownership and 6 months of hard riding, the toe has completely come apart.
They also seem a bit tight in the toe area, but it may just be me.
For an occasional rider or for a backup pair, they will be fine.
However, if you ride a lot I think it's worth it to go ahead and buy a more quality pair.

"Knock on wood, but I haven't had any problems with these boots. I was looking for an inexpensive, comfortable boot for schooling. I was only planning on riding once a week and didn't want to spend a fortune. These have fit the bill perfectly.
I've been wearing them for a bout a year and have been riding closer to 2-3x's a week than the planned once. They're comfortable and have handled the occasional bangs into the wall without issues."

"They are great boots especially for the price. I have only had them a couple weeks so I am not sure about the long lasting durability, but so far so good!! They do run about a 1/2 size too big. They break in easy, & they look good too. Would purchase again!!!"

"This is my daughters third pair of Saxon Equileather paddock boots over the past two and a half years, and for the money you can't beat them. They hold up extremely well and the only reason she has had three pairs is due to her growing foot. I will continue to use Saxon Equileather in the future due to their durability and affordability."

"My daughter has been riding for 3 years, and ever since she started, this is the only paddock boot she lets me buy. I've just bought her 3rd pair of these boots. The sizing is correct, and they are comfortable. The heel tore off of my daughter's first pair, and the second (a horse stepped on her foot) a rip opened up across the top of the toe area by the seam. However, she goes to the barn practically everyday, so if you or your child are not going often, these boots should last you a while! Although they are not the best quality, for their price, they get the job done! Who needs $200 paddock boots when you can get everthing you need in $40 ones! These are the only boots I think I will ever buy."

"My friend bought a pair of these for work at a horse farm this year. After about four weeks of use, the soles were coming unglued and the boots were covered in tears. These could work for the occasional lesson, but they are not at all durable and the more active rider should invest in something longer lasting."

"So I've always been one to look down on fake leather products but after spending a fortune on leather boots that get destroyed by day to day barn use I was in search of something different. I thought I'd give these bad boys a chance since the price was right and since smartpak has an awesome return policy what was to lose. My biggest concern with these was that they were going to fit cheap and feel cheap, but out of the box I was very impressed. They looked great and until I felt them wouldn't have known they weren't leather. You can tell they aren't the buttery soft leather boots that I would normally spend $150+ on but for the price can't be beat. Once I slipped them on I was happily surprised that they fit quite well! I have fairly wide feet so this was a blessing! I've worn them to the barn everyday since I purchased them about a month ago and they still look brand new! I just hose them off before and leave and tahda! New boots for the next day!"

"I have owned a pair of these paddock boots for somewhere between 4-6 years. They have walked through mud, dewy grass, paddocks full of horse manure, etc. They have been used for my motorcycle boots for the last 2 summers, and they are what I ride in. So, they are used every day. This year is the first year they've started to fall apart. The right shoe's toe is separating from the rest of the shoe, but I am still using them without any problems. They are very comfy for me, and I will probably purchase another pair."

"I bought these paddock boots to be my daily pair for barn chores and riding. With in the first few wears I noticed soggy socks as I walked across dewy grass for morning turn out. By the second week the toes were separating from the sole. With in a month, the toe was separated from the sole on each boot, all the way to the stitching on the toe cap and the 'leather' was cracked and pealing. They were unusable at this point for me.
That said, I do ride at least 2 horses every day, and have a full day's worth of barn work to do in my paddock boots. These boots might work for the weekly lesson or someone who does not put their boot through as much as I do.
For me, the were not worth the price. I will stick to investing in Ariats.
The fit was fine for me, as I typically order slightly larger to accommodate my wide foot. Ordered a 9, wear an 8.5. No problem with fit

"Bought these boots for riding lessons and tried them on when they arrived. They were comfy straight out of the box. Even after walking around in them for a while. I can't really comment on durability yet, but I think they'll be fine for the purpose for which I bought them."

"I love these boots, so far. I did need to reorder a bigger size, however. My normal size (8.5) was just too tight, but I was able to easily switch them to size 9 (just send the originals back, and they'll send the new ones). They are comfortable and easy to clean. I would buy these again."

"i love these boots, they are my paddock boot of choice. They are affordable, which is key to me because my job is training horses and teaching students to ride, and I go through about a pair of boots per year. These ones are the most comfortable and hold up through riding, bathing, teaching, catching horses, you name it!"
