Dover Saddlery is selling its Ovation Ladies Dress Boots for 99.95.
Ovation Finalist Dress Boots
Dover doesn't have their size guide posted but I googled it:
Ovation Size Guide-Look for the Ladies Finalist Dress Boot.
Why are these cheap? They probably are good boots. I've never bought Ovations before, but the equestrian industry is trying to go away from non-zip boots. So they want to get these out of their stock.

Video update
Look for the videos after the first week of Feb. My fellow Star Wars nerd and high school buddy is going to shoot the videos for me. So at least the video will look good. I was a little worried. I'm not too keen with recording videos. :P
Gendering Boots
We have a new puppy and my mother went a little insane and was pounding his food into smaller pieces instead of just adding water to it. I let her know it's 3am in the morning and the pup can sleep another 3 hours. She had no idea it was so early. I'm also up because my lower back and vicadon apparently wakes me up after 5 hours of sleep.
Okay so I had to get that out of my system. The real post begins now...
Gentlemen this post is for you. My male BFF use to be ultra skinny in high school and college. Plus he had a short inseam so that made it tough for him to find men's jeans. So one day he tried on his sister's jeans. Well he found that those suckers fit him better. Jerk fit in a size 0 jean.
I tell you that story because riding boots really don't have a gender. The only difference btw the ladies and men's tall boots is usually the cut is a little more generous. I say usually because sometimes there is no real difference between the two in relation to calf size. I had looked at a few men's boots when I was searching for a tall boot because my calf is nice and wide. I think in some brands the calf was maybe 1/2" or 1" bigger not a real difference.
Usually the huge difference is the height of the boot.
So wisdom of the day: Don't let the tag ladies discourage you from getting a nice pair of boots. Ladies sizes generally come in more options. So if you do have a bigger calf and are tall you can probably find a boot.
Now if it comes without a freaking zipper is another issue.

mini update
So I'll be attempting to record two videos soon. I'm not too keen on the video editing process so hopefully they won't be awful.
First video will be boot fitting.
The second will be boot fitting part 2. When you recieve your boots ensuring proper fit. That may be delayed, hopefully until my Dehner's come back. Because the Dehner's are super sexy.
