We took our best-selling Tuffrider Starter Boot and designed it with a thinner sole to allow for a better feel of the stirrup. Perfect for children who are just getting started in the world of riding, so they feel more secure. The TuffRider Children's Starter Lite Front Zip Paddock Boots are equipped with elastic side gussets, spur rests, front zippers, rubber outsoles, and traditional punched toe caps. Although they may feel lighter, they are still durable and water-resistant as any of our other synthetic paddock boot styles
