Help!!! Looking for Woman's boots for the wife!!!
I am looking for a good pair of ladies riding boots. Problem is they need to be narrow & long, wife is 6'2" & eyes of blue. She normally buys ladies 12 or 13.
I know it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. She likes to 2up & I would like her to have a good boot to wear.
Any ideas?

Question: Why do they have to be ladies boots?
I am a girl and six feet tall with eyes of green and wear a 10 and have narrow feet, but I have never in all my years of riding worn a boot that was termed a ladies boot. I just buy boots and I guess they must be blokes boots, but I don't care as long as they offer good protection.
Currently owning 2 brands which seem to suit narrow feet, Sidi and Alpine Star.

That's a great question! Especially considering most every boot I've ever seen for the "ladies" makes them look like a $2 hooker and are totally useless for actual riding.

If you can ever make it up to Helimot he will spend all the time she needs to fit her in just the right sized boots. Top notch service and product there.

"Ladies' boots" have a different cut than men's boots, because most - not all - women's feet are shaped differently than men's. I think the heel area is narrower or something, but in any case, your lady should try both kinds on in person to see what fits best.
BTW, Sidi makes two very nice boots for women that don't look like hooker boots...

What's wrong with hooker boots? I knew a girl that rode with these:
 (Icon's)
Of course, she was 5'2(and 1/2)" and needed the extra height.

Womans boot...
If you are looking for a good fitting riding boot try Bates fast lane boots. They have been making these for decades and are a custom fit. About $250,but worth it.
