Rider Boot Company

[Sartorium]

Nice! Was the last run Horween? I don’t think I realized that. What’s the major differences? That’s a pretty big price difference.

My guess is the major difference is Ron is fed up with Horween

IKEA dish towel look.

These Fritz’s have become one of the most worn over the past month or so, and have broken in wonderfully. I can tailor the fit based on sock and the removable insole - lots of options.

Rider kudu chelsea boots. My wife is loving these - finally a successful footwear gift!!!

 

[Jarmush]

Great looking chelseas.

The new MTO offerings by Ron are quite nice.

 

[Mrfuzon]

Is MTO in store only? I wonder if glazed horse will return considering the recent announcement.

Big announcement over there, a merger (or buyout by) with their manufacturer. Several big price drops in last few days.

Ron Rider week so far

Since I was traveling for several weeks I got the change to unbox by Rider shell boots. Mine are in color#4 which saw a lot of delays unfortunately.
These are my first shell boots in this color but on unboxing I don't see the typical reddish color associated with color #4. They seem closer to color #8 with a lot of "purple" in them. Anyone else who ordered color# 4 felt the same?

These are my favorite pair I have as well. Incredibly versatile and so comfortable. I probably have 200+ wears on them in the last ~2 years I have had them.

Color 4 can have a lot of variation on the end color. I have many shells of Color 4 that are close to this color. It is a few shades lighter than Color 8. Unfortunately it is just due to the time of year (and many other factors) of when tanning occurs at Horween.

They look great though! I'd be happy with those.

My latest Ron Rider acquisition, burgundy Jodhpurs in horse front leather. The leather is butter soft.
