They took their best-selling Tuffrider Starter Boot and designed it with a thinner sole to allow for a better feel of the stirrup. The TuffRider Ladies Starter Lite Front Zip Paddock Boots have all of the features you love (elastic gussets, spur rests, punched toe caps) but with a slightly thinner sole. This boot is perfect for the ladies who are just starting out as equestrians and may need a better sense of security with their footing. Although they may feel lighter, they are still durable and water-resistant as any of our other synthetic paddock boot styles.
