What do you have to say about Saxon Paddock Boots?

Question

Do they run too big, too small, narrow, what? Do they have good quality, ect.

Answer 1

I can't speak for the paddock boots, but Saxon stuff in general is, I find, good value. It doesn't last forever but it's a budget range of stuff. I have a rug or two by them that have lasted well. However, I have some jodhpurs that wore out in a few months.

Answer 2

I sell Saxon synthetic paddock boots.  

They run pretty true to size in overall size as well as width.

Quality is a relative term - here's some considerations:

Synthetic materials typically don't breathe as well as natural materials like leather.  They often trap heat.

Synthetic materials are easier to clean with a wide range of solutions - soap and water for example won't damage them or dry them out - leather requires the proper type of cleaning and conditioning to keep them in good shape.

Synthetic boots (like Saxon) are typically less expensive - so are a good purchase for children or young teens who's feet are growing still - such kids usually outgrow them before the boots are worn out.

For children just getting into the horse sports, or maybe not knowing for sure what discipline they will follow, they are a good buy as they are sound in form and function, hold up well and wear well and don't cost a lot.

You can find a pair for maybe $40 while the all leather, top of the line ariat's can run in excess of $90 or $100 for a simple paddock boot.

With proper care for a person who's feet will not grow, the Ariat product is a better product for the feet as they are engineered to support the foot properly, they're well sewn and hold up well if kept in good condition - they will last for years and year.  

But if you are not needing a pair to last many years for some reason, the Saxon boots are a good purchase.

The things I see about the Saxon boots that I don't like are things like quite often the seam across the toe piece of the boot is sewn crooked - but when you're in the saddle no one will see this and it doesn't affect the performance of the boot.

However, don't expect to be able to sell the Saxon boots and gain your money back out of them as you could an Ariat pair.

Good luck!

Answer 3

I bought my first pair of saxons about 2 years ago. in shoes i take a size 9 and in these i took a 10. Id say they run a little small with they are really nice. Its nice that they dont take the exact upkeep of leather, but have just as much quality and style as leather. I have tie up ones that are really nice. They never come untied and my half chaps work beautifly with them. They are easy to clean, just a moist papertowl will do! I bought mine for 40$. I would say buy them they are a great investment

p.s= definitly not narrow, i have a wide foot, and i have no pinching toes

GOOD LUCK!

I don't know about Saxon. I just got Smoky Mountains yesterday and they are great!  I already have them partially broken in and I didn't even ride in them yet!

Answer 5

I love them they were my first 3 pairs a paddock boots. My feet were growing really fast, so when I grew out of them they were still in great shape. When I turned 13 I got Saxon feild boots (the tall ones)  that was a year ago and they are just starting to rub. They are comferbal and easy to break in. They run a normal size (not too big or small) and they have narrow, regular, and wide sizes.
