Caballero Wear Jodhpur Boots

Well, my order for a US size 7 pair arrived today. They managed to send me a US size 10. On top of that, I waited more than a month for them to arrive -only to not be able to wear them. As I am currently living outside the US now, the customs fee was a "nice" (although expected) addition to my already ruined day. Needless to say, I am beyond disappointed. Any options for a replacement? Anybody had a similar experience?

Yea, I had been entertaining the idea for a long time, especially after seeing a pair in the flesh and trying one on at a YSL boutique. You are absolutely right in that they really are built well and the look is truly something special, but ultimately I decided to skip on them because of the price. I figured if I was going to spend that much on a pair, I would have more personalised and high-end options at a bespoke shoemaker for a not much higher price premium. However, that also would be a purchase I am just not ready to make yet. This is where these Caballero boots saved me, haha. The build quality (especially the blake stitch being a nice middle ground between cementing and goodyear welt) and the looks are all there. I also like that they did not copy the recognizable YSL-style strap placement but kinda reversed it with the straps crossing on the front, adding their own take on the jodhpur style. Cheers,

You should try out Saint Laurent Jodhpurs. A bit spendy, but exceptional quality and appearance.
