Where can I buy a good pair of waterproof riding boots in aamchi mumbai, which doesn't cost a bomb.
Hmm. Frankly, I don't think you will find any purpose made riding boots here. As manson mentioned, you can find original Cats etc. in Heera Paana, but those are not the heavy duty ones, more the dress up, night out on town types, so I doubt they will be waterproof.

An option would be to check out the safety shoes sold at shops near Ballard estate. They are not only water resistant, but resistant to oil and other chemicals as well. But, while they may be fine for riding, I don't know how good they would be for hiking around in th mountains.

Another option would be to try and get hold of the boots the army uses. Not sure where those are available though. And make sure you break in these boots properly before any long distance riding.
