So comfortable and functional
I purchased these as I have big calves and often can’t fix into tall boots. These fit my 16 inch calves easily. They are very comfortable. I wear them for barn chores and ride in them. For the price, these boots are top notch! I would rather buy two of these than spend the same money on more expensive boots.

Favorite boots!
I got these books right after Christmas. They are the most comfortable boots I have ever ridden in. The laces adjust easily so the fit is perfect every time. My toes have wiggle room so they stay warm while I am riding. Plus, they look good! Love, love, love these boots!

My favorite boot for everything
I have had these boots for two years until the zipper finally gave out. The first day I wore them I walked three miles. These are by far the best tall boots I have ever had and I wear them for hiking and chores as well because they are so comfortable. They look like the expensive ones but are affordable! well the zipper is being repaired so I am buying another pair to wear in the meantime

Good and Bad
Love the boots, warm, pretty comfy but my zipper grip broke after a handful of wears. Did a patch job to repair the zipper because I want to keep wearing the boots but super disappointed they broke so quickly.

Best shoes I own!
I’ve had mine since the spring and have worn them almost everyday at the barn. They are fantastic! Best purchase I’ve made this year. They aren’t very warm for the winter but they survived the summer beautifully!

Fricking Amazing - You NEED a Pair
In my search for a solid winter riding boot, I stumbled across the Ada Lace Up Boot and I will NEVER be able to unwear these :D I practically live in them now. Feeding horses in the morning? Put on my Adas. Cleaning Stalls? Ada. Starting colts? Jump schooling? Trail adventure? All the Ada. I've even worn these pulling cable on my neighbors roof and they have not disappointed.
This boot has changed my outlook on winter (moderately at least - my hate for the cold will never fully disappear) and makes those freezing cold morning or evenings slightly more tolerable. They have broken in beautifully and are sooo comfortable for everything from chores and riding to farm maintenance. 1000% worth the money!

awesome boots!
I have had these for a few weeks now, I only wear them for riding so I change into them from my muck boots, I love them. About my third ride in they were broken in. These are overall comfy boots, comfy footbed, zips up easily, and the laces allow for extra layers. These aren't super tall boots, but I haven't had any problems with them catching on the saddle flap. These honestly feel like a half chap combined with a comfy paddock boot! Thank you Smart Pak!

Amazing
Durable so far and high quality. Nice to have the laces for perfect fit. Bought for my daughter who is 5’7 and wide calf. Perfect for casual winter riding and barn chores.

Great option for a wider calf
I just received these today and immediately wore them to the barn. I was tentative about ordering them because I have wide calves (16.5-17") but the tongue is 4.5" wide so there is a lot of adjustability with the width. I LOVE that these don't have speed lace hooks because my other lace up boots have speed hooks and every time you unzip and remove the boots, the lace-up part falls apart. The eyelets here are much smarter. There's also a lace-through loop on the tongue to keep it from shifting to one side halfway up your shin. There's also some adjustability with the zipper protector snap at the rear. I also added my own laces from bright paracord. I love these and would buy them again! They were a teeny bit snug in the foot for me (I wear a 9.5-10 and ordered a size 41). And I do with they were maybe one inch taller -- why are all winter boots so short???

give them a chance!
bought these a month ago as a cheaper alternative to the ariat ones. pleasantly surprised; they took a ride or three to break in. began with rubbing on the heels and a little smaller in the foot, but they did stretch to be comfortable. seem to hold up well in ankle deep mud, and they do loosen enough to fit my huge calves (17” and 17.5”) although they don’t loop to the top (just missing one eyelet tho). all in all, happy with them and a better price point.

Excellent Boots
These are great, I use them for chores, riding, going to store, anything. They are exceptionally comfortable and look great. They clean up well too. I would say they had about a week break in period, but now are super easy to zip and get on, and don't rub anywhere. Everyone asks about them and expects they were super expensive. I plan on getting the brown color next! They are warm too.

Comfortable and durable!
Going on year 3 (I think) with these and theyve held up great. I wear them just about all year except for the hottest days in the summer. Water resistant and always adjustable with the laces. I need to replace the soles in them but I'd expect that with any boot considering the amount of wear I put on these.

Comfortable but the zipper broke after 6 months
I got these in April and while these are comfortable, they did not withstand normal riding use.

Zipper woes
As many others have commented, the zipper was the problem in the end. I love the look of them and they are pretty comfortable for casual use, but just don't stand up to task. The zipper broke only a few weeks after owning them. I replaced the zipper once and it broke again. I think the issue is having the zipper along the back of the calf. That area flexes too much for a zipper to be there if you are *actually* using and riding in these boots. I'd only recommend these for fashion wear.

Why is there only a ‘regular’ calf size option?
I would gladly purchase if there was more calf size options. A smaller calf size option would be good.

Have had them for a year - perfect schooling boots
I bought these last year for fall, winter and spring. Ended up wearing them all summer, too. They're roomy (I have wide feet) and they have held up to daily riding very well. Cute and comfortable from day one with no break-in period. Really love these boots, can't beat the price either.

Design flaw
I love these boots however they have ruined a few pairs of my jeans due to the zipper pulling the material. They are really cute and comfortable but I’m really upset that they are snagging my brand new jeans behind the knee.

Cute and comfortable
These are super cute and comfortable after only a few wears. I have thin calves, so I love that they’re adjustable. I wish I could size down a half size, but at least I’ll have more room for toe warmers in the winter! I’ve only been wearing these for a couple weeks, but they seem to be of decent quality for the price.

Excellent boot!
I LOVE these boots! Most comfortable and well made. Say they are not waterproof but when I was in the wet field my feet did not get wet! Lots of compliments on them as well :)

LOVE these boots
I absolutely love these boots. They are not my regular daily pair so I can’t speak to how they hold up to heavy use but I do wear them for about 4-8 hours every week when I want to wear my “brown outfits.”
They are so incredibly comfortable. They are great to ride in and due to the laces it’s easy to get a really custom fit. They make me so happy.
The only downside I’ve run into is that because they aren’t fully knee height and because I am long legged, they are just the right height to hit the edge of the shirt flapped dressage saddle that belongs to one of the horses I ride. It’s not really that big of a deal and is truly a specific problem related to my height, length of leg, and short flapped dressage saddle. But I wanted to mention it in case another shopper was in a similar boat.

Nice boot, fits well
I just got these boots and haven't had the chance to wear them yet. They seem to fit well but I had to get a size larger since they were a bit short. They do have a bit of a strong suede smell, hopefully that will dissipate.

Lovely boots, but not for heavy use
I’m a working student and I typically put 8-10miles on my barn boots daily. I loved these boots out of the box, especially after my last two pairs being pull ons the zipper and laces were wonderful. The memory foam wasn’t cushy but was nice, and the leather was buttery soft. After a couple weeks however the soles were separating from the boot, and the boot had broken in in such a way that I was walking not on the sole (which slid out with every step) but the inside left heel. I need to run in emergencies and this isn’t nice for feet that walk 10mi a day. Smartpak was wonderful in taking them back even with the miles. Overall, great for day to day but not for heavy walking!

My favorite barn boots
I bought a pair a year ago, I wear size 7 got the 38s fit perfectly! I wore them everyday to the barn for chores and riding year round. The zipper separated after a year of hard use and abuse. Just ordered my second pair in black this time.
