Saxon Syntovia Ladies Zip Paddock Boots, Brown, 9

It's been 4 years of riding and we've bought I think 3 pairs of these now. We are just opening the third pair. The 1st was worn until the sole got holes. Leather never ripped, zippers were fine. The second pair was kind of a mess. The sole squeaks.. which has gotten louder as the months went on. The 2 stitches by the top of the zipper that hold the tongue in place ripped the first week in use. I almost returned the shoe, but family stuff happened and before I knew it, it was 2 months later... 8 months later, we are finally tossing the pair. About the shoe- it's a pretty good fit. My feet are sometimes too thin for "wide" shoes, but they're too wide for regular shoes and I have high arches. These stretch a bit. One hour of walking around and its well broken in. It keeps it's shape. I love the zip because one ankle swells a bit sometimes and I can unzip the shoe. No matter how sassy Senior Horsey is feeling that day the shoe stays on just fine. My eldest has thin feet and the shoe also fits just fine. I haven't tried another brand bc these are the best price and I love the stretchy ankle and front zip. I think the front zip is better for a foot with a high arch.

My daughter wore these a handful of times when the pleather began peeling off. I dont think it is a fluke because her friend had the same ones and the same thing happened.

They were for me not my pet
