I am looking for a pair of near-knee-high black riding boots that are as close to r/BuyItForLife level as possible, to be worn in, resoled, and loved for many years to come. My style tends to favor a touch of western (vintage Fryes are a fave).

I'm considering the La Botte Gardianne High Top boot shown, but I'm having a hard time finding much info on them aside from the few reviews on their site. Has anyone bought these (or the shorter shaft Camargue boot) and can share their experience?

(Also open to other suggestions that might check those boxes.)

TIA!
