Tight Riding boots

Spirit81 · 09-03-2004, 08:19 AM

Hey,
I was hoping someone would have a suggestion for me. I have a pair of riding boots that I bought second hand and they fit like a glove. The only problem is that they fit so well that it is such a struggle to get them on and off just because they stick. When I put plastic bags over my legs, they'll slide right on, but I hate the way that feels. Does anyone know of any tricks or products to make the inside of your boots more slippery?? I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks!

try putting baby powder on the inside, smells nice and makes them way easier to get off!

Yeah, baby powder, boot pulls, the thinnest knee highs you can find. You can also take them to a tack shop and have them stretched. You have to be careful they don't stretch them too much, though. This wouldn't be my first choice, however. The best thing you can do is just weat them until they conform to your legs and they will probably begin to stretch a little on their own.
