Would these boots be good for riding?

I think they’d be more for fashion, but I’m not 100% sure. I think they’re cute but I wouldn’t ride in them.
They are strictly fashion. They do not have the support on the sides needed for riding. Riding boots are thick leather for a reason. They are flexible yet strong and durable. They support your ankle while riding, and the thick leather protects your foot from a horse stepping on it. The boots in the image above do not have the thick leather needed for riding and being around horses in general. Also the flexible sides allow your ankle too much room while riding and don’t hold it in place. Your ankle becomes too “free form” in these boots. You need your ankle to almost be “stuck” in one position in order to keep control and have a good posture. Hope this helps!! :)
