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.
