The faux half-chap trend continues with these “convertible riding boots” from Coach.

Some readers may recall this photo Horse Nation posted on Facebook a while back:

Well, it wasn’t a one-off. The faux boots-and-half-chaps movement continues to gain momentum. Here’s a screenshot from Coach:

On sale for $249, guys! Reader Brianne Long stumbled across this review of the boot from a fashion blog:

A flat riding boot is a closet staple that won’t go out of style – a worthwhile piece to purchase if there ever was one. And the only thing better than a great riding boot? A convertible riding boot, of course. This new pair from Coach is kind of genius and I can’t wait to wear them with ev-ery-thing for the entire season.

Genius? That’s a little generous. Breanne writes, “Someone needs to tell her these have already been invented–they’re called half chaps!”
