Eureka...I found them!

I may have mentioned that I have been searching high and low for the perfect brown riding boot.  We are talking 2 years searching.  My biggest problem is narrow calves.  I have skinny ones and most boots made me look like a 10 year old girl in her mother's galoshes.  Other issues I encountered...the color was too orange and not rich enough brown, the boot lacked shape and looked like Santa's boots, they were synthetic materials, the heel was too chunky, the toe too square or too pointy, they had some hideous detail I was not digging, or they looked too much like I should be yelling "Hi Ho Silver!" or dancing two step at Gilly's.  I am seriously not that picky of a gal but riding boots were my Achilles heel...and I have been dead set on finding some.

Anyway, that is all in my past because I finally found 'em.  Now, I will not say these are as snug on my chicken calves as I was hoping but I am not swimming in them either.  And, at under $200 that is a great deal for leather boots.

And here they are on yours truly...(my husband told me to look modelicious...this was the best I could do.)  Please note that the matchy matchiness of this jacket was not planned, but apparently I like cognac leather.

And the side view. The picture below is much truer in terms of color.  My wood floors are a chocolate brown with no red and the boots are not as orange as they appear above.

(An alternate title for this post was going to be Das Boot but then I have no idea why I even know the name of that old film and the only person who would chuckle would be my sister.) Since not everyone will love exactly what I pick, some other boot options...
