Five of the best riding trainers
With protection for your feet (but not ankles) riding trainers are for those easy days out and about

Good quality mid calf boot - 100% waterproof due to Goretex membrane. Zip and velcro closure - good ankle protection. Need to break these in as they feel stiff at first but that's only due to the sturdy construction - highly satisfied.
I love these boots. I find them super comfy (I've even worn them out to the pub, just coz), and as long as I keep them well-dubbed they keep most water out. If it's torrential, I'll stop anyway, so I couldn't speak to that, but I've only had water inside from running down my leg (rain, honest). Love 'em.
The zip placement is better than the more expensive boots I tried I an ex rugby player and have big calls so struggled to find a pair of boots. These are great
These boots are very comfortable, and perfectly good looking in their own right - I have worn them on a summer commute to work and worn them round the office all day - no problems. Although they obviously won't give the same protection as full boots, there is good ankle protection and they feel very substantially constructed.
The only thing I would mention is that they have a suede like finish which looks really good, but the left hand boot then gets a dark mark from the gear pedal. Not a huge issue for me though - I've very happy with my purchase.
It s good quality for price
