I didn't know if you guys suggest buying specific riding gloves and boots as opposed to general purpose gloves and boots. |
For gloves, yes. They will give you better feel for the controls than a work type leather glove. Also, they are usually ventilated so your hands will stay cooler.
As for the boots, your timberlands will work.
