They are exactly the same as my old ones, just a bit bigger (come on, I got them 3 years ago! Plus I want to fit THICK socks on underneath to keep my legs toasty). I asked Matthias if they could have lamb's wool in the feet only, not through the whole leg as they lined the inner leg with sheepskin too and I wouldn't have been able to feel the horse very well. All I wanted was warm feet, and as it turns out I can wear them all through the summer without getting sweaty feet and they are extra comfy!!So I'm just trying to break them in at the moment, I've been told not to walk around in them as you develop the wrong creases and should really break them in by riding in them. But somehow I don't think Seb would appreciate me trying to ride him all stiff-legged, so I though I'd soften them up a little bit at home first. Because of the sheepskin I feel no pain in my feet, the only sore bit is behind my knee but that will go as soon as they drop a bit at the ankle. Needless to say my knees were bandaged up well tonight!
Can't wait to get riding in them :D
