Pretty typical temps here in West Texas this time of year. I ditched neoprene sport boots a long time ago and went to Veridus boots. They’re wonderful, stay on, are easier to put on and off. They’re also several years old and still going strong on multiple horses. Can’t get that kind of mileage out of neoprene. Their legs don’t get anywhere near as hot, and it’s been working for me nicely. Plus I don’t have to buy multiple sets a year trying to keep decent leg protection on them. Veredus boots are quite pricey...yikes! Ain’t nothing cheap in barrel racer land, but the girls in tights going over jumps put us all to shame. I like the boots. They’re the best. They live forever and don’t get hot. I’m sold. Which style do you use? I looked on their website but don’t see any that look leather...

Are these boots stiff? or flexible? and do you have the bell boot? They are high but if they last more than a year you paying the same as any other boots that you have to replace more than once a year!
