The Dublin Foundation Laced Paddock Boots offer a combination of style, comfort, and functionality that makes them ideal for both casual and serious equestrians. Crafted from high-quality leather, these boots are designed to provide durability while ensuring your feet remain comfortable during rides. The speed lacing system adds convenience, allowing for quick adjustments to achieve the perfect fit.
Really nice boots! Not too stiff. Was comfortable the first time I wore them - had to wear with thick socks - otherwise would be uncomfortable without socks. Great price. Perfect fit. Looks like more expensive leather boots. Very happy!
I wanted a pair of boots that were versatile and comfortable with arch support. These boots fit so well, right out of the box. NO breaking them in! I needed something sturdy when I ride my motorcycle and they keep my feet warm and protected. Now I look for opportunities to wear them because they are just so comfortable. Shopping or riding, I highly recommend these boots. I'm going to search for a pair for my husband...
I just want to say these boots were beautiful and of high quality. My foot is very difficult to fit. Unfortunately I had to return these boots but I was so sad. One of the really nice additions to quality is that the lace up boot had a small elastic gusset in the back to make the boot more flexible. The leather was excellent quality. Really sad they didn't fit.
I really liked this boot especially for the price. Great value, but I had to return because it was too big. I am usually a 6 and sometimes a 5.5 but the smallest these came in was a 6. They were just way too large and had to return. I probably could have even used a 5. Too bad because they were a very nice boot
I know that may be confusing, but hear me out- I always do my best to be forthright in these reviews. Okay, so my average shoe size is about 9.5. Depending on the shoe type, maker, and country of origin, it comes through as a 9-10. I got these as a 9.5 for new autumn boots (tennis shoes don’t cut it in colder temps). On initial try with a regular sock, my foot could rattle around inside, so I nearly decided to send them back. But wait; these are for fall, maybe winter. So I tried a fuzzy sock. They fit better. A little room to move, but not much. Pushed to the limit on a super thick half calf fuzzy sock. For that, I’m keeping them. Walked all day in them yesterday and they worked well (just wear a long enough sock so they’re not scraping your ankles by the end of the day). Thick sole, so they’ll probably be good on slick pavements. So if you’re going for cute- true to size. Want alittle extra room for comfort or thick socks- go up a half size. Will get a black winter pair, but they don’t have a half size in yet, so I’ll let you know how a size 10 goes.UPDATE 1/5/24: Got my black pair in the half size and they fit exactly the same as my brown ones. Can’t wait to clean, condition, and start wearing them in the real world. Only major complaint is that I had to stop wearing the brown ones in November because both laces frayed terribly and one snapped in half. So now I’m on the hunt for strong waxed laces- which Dublin infuriatingly does not sell.
I tried a pair of doc martens, but I didn’t like how tall the toe box was. I think these look a lot more feminine, but they run insanely large. I normally wear a size 9ish because my feet are pretty wide, but I ordered an 8.5 and the boots were still huge. I will return these and get the next size down, but it’s disappointing because I thought I finally found the perfect boot.
These are the worst paddock boots I've ever had. I would give no stars if that option was available. Although the boots seemed to be a regular size 9, the top of the boots cut into the top of my feet right in front of where the lacing starts and I got a huge blister on the back of my left heel the first time I wore them. I started to get a blister on my right heel the second time I wore them but fortunately, I didn't wear them long enough to get another big blister. The tops of my feet were sore and almost bruised after every time I wore them. Needless to say, these boots are very uncomfortable to walk in. I kept expecting them to break in after wearing them multiple times (with bandaids on both heels) and they stretched a very little bit but that was it. I will never buy any boots made by Dublin again.
