Well this is my third pair … so that should say it all! My go to for Autumn and Winter they are a robust hard working boot , I can hack and school in these boots, my feet stay dry and they fit my leg well. I decided I would give another brand a try this winter but they did not live up to the Tuffa boot - hence the purchase of my third pair .
I've worn Tuffa Country Rider Boots for years, but wanted a fitted long boot for improved leg stability and precision while schooling. I shopped around a bit, but soon returned to Tuffa, knowing I like their grippy rubber sole! I found the Aylsham was by far the best fit out of everything I'd tried (helped by the choice of calf width). I'm a size 5 - 5.5 and ended up with a size 4 slim (which fitted snuggly around the ankle with a single pair of sports socks). So, I'd say they run a bit big! The boots took no wearing in whatsoever; they were immediately comfy and supportive. All in all, very impressed.
These boots are comfy straight from the box. Good for riding and yard work.
Ordered at Badminton horse trials, but not received them yet
I love the Aylsham boots so much that I bought a second pair just in case! For me they fit super comfortably for someone with thick calves. As they are fairly waterproof I can walk into a muddy field without worry and hose them off. They’re hard working but nice enough for me to eventually in.
My only wish would be for a lighter pair to wear in the hot summer here in the US.
