One of my biggest complaints about spring is the mud in our barnyard. The mud wouldn’t bother me so much, but I have to wear my muck boots. And my muck boots wouldn’t be a problem if I didn’t hate how they feel…they feel yucky because my jeans bunch up inside them and actually wear blisters on the sides of my ankles as I’m walking and working around the farm. But I recently learned about a neat little cure-all for riding jean bunchiness. It’s called the BootStroot, and I’m giving away a BootStroot set right here on this blog post!
The BootStroot was created by an inventor named Brandon Siegenfeld, whose mom was complaining to him about trying to keep her jeans tucked into her boots, and being bothered by their bulging and bunching. So he came up with the BootStroot (“Stroot” comes from the words Strap and Boot combined), which is a nifty little strap of elastic with velcro closures that wraps around the cuff of your jeans to secure them closely to your ankles, making your jeans fit more comfortably in your boots, and keeping the jeans from bunching up around your knees and above the boots.
The BootStroot comes in three basic colors: black, brown, and navy, and are customizable to fit any size. They are quick and easy to put on: simply roll up your jeans to make a smooth cuff, with the excess taken in on each side of your ankle and folded back smoothly; then wrap the BootStroot around the cuff, fastening it to itself with the velcro closure; step into your boots, and you’re ready to go! Your jeans will stay tucked in without their hems feeling bunchy, and without the extra material bunching above your boot tops.

Such a GREAT idea! Thanks for sharing!
UGH Bunchy riding jeans are the bane of my existence! We don’t have Bootstroots in Australia (or anything like them), we need them!
What a great idea!! I’ve never heard of anything like that before!
