After trooping my white TK Boots and seeing the wear that quickly developed, I opted for the Smoky Mtn Boot in the lower picture. They are a bit shinier than than the picture does justice. A little polish will shine them up more.

Price is actually more for the duller finish. Both are on backorder until 9/1. I was leaning towards the glossy patent leather due to the match to armor.

I'm a little conflicted on which style of boot to get my wife. Should I go ultra glossy with the patent leather or semi gloss of the standard jodphur style? What do most of you do?

Geez, I had a really hard time getting the ears on the white one to where I wanted them. I ended up ordering another set from ATA. I love the black bucket since the gaps are not so obvious. I know some gap is desirable, but I struggled to get the balance right for me.

I believe a size 7 or 8.

Starting my WIP for my wife's TX using AM. I'm also doing a TK for myself, so there will be white in the pics too. So a couple of questions for you experienced folks. - Are these boots acceptable? http://www.tackwholesale.com/smoky-mountain-ladies-jodphur-boot-closeup2-3183.html - On AM, do most people remove all of the return edges for comfort? Are there any returns that I MUST keep on this armor as I start cutting? Thanks all!
