TuffRider Raj Ladies Winter Tall Boots vs Journee Collection Gema Wide Knee High Riding Boots

Buy the TuffRider Raj if you ride, work outside, or face wet and snowy winters. Its Brazilian leather, waterproof rubber sole, steel shank and YKK #10 zipper are built for real weather and hard use. The Journee Gema is a fashion boot: faux leather, a block heel and a wide 14 1/2-inch calf, and its 2.8-out-of-5 rating from 28 owners reflects complaints about a baggy shaft and no arch support. Neither is a dress boot, but only the Raj is a working one.

• Choose the TuffRider Raj if you need a tall boot that handles mud, snow and wet zippers and gives real arch support for long days on your feet.
• Choose the Journee Gema if you want a wide-calf knee-high boot for style and light wear in dry, cool weather and don't need arch support.
