Would you wear woofwear boots for riding?

These: www.woofwear.com/for-riders/footwear/long-yard-boot-2017_33.html. Would you wear them to ride when using the caged stirrup irons? The irons are a bit like these, but much sturdier: www.ridingwarehouse.com/Korsteel_Polymer_Stirrup_Toe_Cages_Pair/descpage-KPSTC.html

I wouldn't normally consider it, but it seems to me that the stirrup irons make a difference to the normal rules. (Indeed, I've seen kids riding in trainers and wellies without any objection from the riding school.)

Thanks, I'll have a look & good point about getting leathers, too. That would make life easier. I am concerned about gear getting stolen when she's off riding or away from the stable. Some stuff (including 2 phones) disappeared during the holidays. It's a thief's paradise.

I've just found these: www.rideawaystore.com/Brogini-Kendal-Sub-Zero-Long-Riding-Boots/r50175927.htm?colour=Black They're expensive, but look warm and seems to have the same adjustable section like woofwear. Any comments?

Sadly gear does go walkabout. Mark everything! Keep all in a locked box.

They're nice but in effect they're the same as the Woofwear ones. She'll get wet feet (I have some - they're warm and comfy but not dry).

My daughter has the normal brogini long riding boots and they come in a wide leg options. Size up for thick fluffy socks?

Any i understand the problem as DD is 8 but has size 4 feet and wears age 12 clothes so finding appropriate long boots is a nightmare

Can you get a cheap lockable tackbox? Maybe second hand filing cabinet (check it still locks!) Or you might even find lockers
