Is it possible to get leather field boots "taken down" and zippers put in? Where would I do this?

Find a little mom-and-pop shoe repair shop that's been in business for a long time or ask local tack stores for a reference.

Putting zippers in is relatively easy and cheap. Having them shortened...dunno. Never had that done.

i think of that it somewhat is often performed although the boots with those in them come between the leg and the pony and you lose the texture of the pony. between the main significant tactics of conversing with a horse is thru letting him sense you and you sense him during the reigns ,during the stress in the seat and by using your legs . a zip on the exterior is grotesque and on the interior it comes between the pony and you. They did this to conceal the zipper and this exchange into uncomfortable as defined above. evening you're precise ! putting them in the decrease back might desire to be the respond yet be confident to get slightly leather-based positioned over the zipper so it somewhat isn't any longer somewhat major.

Try a shoe place, there you can get the cost. Sorry, I don't know the cost.

Hope this helps even just a little bit.

Shoe places may do it, or maybe a saddle shop. It really depends on what you have around your area.
