Full-Height vs Jodhpur Riding Boots

The key decision in this range is height. The Vermont Storm is a full-height knee-length riding boot providing maximum leg coverage and a classic equestrian silhouette, available in Black and Brown for ladies. The jodhpur-style boots — Idaho Storm, Kentucky Storm, Blair Storm and Chatsworth Storm — are ankle-height with an elasticated ankle panel and adjustable back toggle. They suit both riding and yard use, and most come in ladies and mens sizing. For maximum leg protection during regular riding, the Vermont Storm; for a boot that works in the saddle and on the ground, the jodhpur styles are more versatile.

Idaho Storm vs Kentucky Storm — Which Waterproof Jodhpur?

Both the Idaho Storm and Kentucky Storm are waterproof jodhpur riding boots with adjustable back toggles and waterproof membranes. The Idaho Storm comes in Black, Brown and Navy — a straightforward everyday riding boot. The Kentucky Storm comes in six options — Mocha, Forest, Polished Black, Polished Brown, Polished Navy and Grey — with polished finishes offering a smarter look for shows or arena work. For no-fuss daily riding in classic colours, choose the Idaho Storm; for more choice or a dressier finish, go for the Kentucky Storm.

Vermont Storm Black vs Brown

The Vermont Storm is available in both Black and Brown. Both are full-height waterproof riding boots for ladies with the same waterproof membrane and construction. Black is the traditional choice for formal riding and showing; Brown is a popular country alternative well suited to hacking and everyday riding.

Chatsworth Storm — Fit Note

The Chatsworth Storm is a waterproof jodhpur boot in Brown and Blue with an adjustable back toggle. It is noted in the product description as not recommended for high instep feet. If you have a high instep, the Idaho Storm, Kentucky Storm and Blair Storm are better choices.

Can Waterproof Riding Boots Be Used for Walking?

Yes — all the boots in this range have waterproof membranes and rubber outsoles suitable for mixed terrain. The jodhpur-style boots are particularly popular for walk-and-ride days. For a broader selection of waterproof boots for walking and country use, see the full waterproof boots collection.
