There are two basic styles of riding boots for English riding. Field and dress boots. Most dressage riders use dress boots while competing.
I don't believe there is a difference other than the sole. They were designed for the same thing: To protect your feet.
nope
you cannot use any kind of boots on your horse while showing in dressage.
This would depend on the show itself and the type of boot. Typically Dressage shows require black 'fittings' like boots and tack, however you should be able to call the show secretary and ask if the answer is not on the entry forms.
The difference between equestrian footwear compared to regular riding boots is that it offers maximum performance and has the best value without the hassle of buying new different boots to suit you.
it is the spur. it can range from a small and inconspicuous dressage spur, to the western show spur.
The purpose of riding boots is to make the horseback riding safer and easier. The riding boots can have spurs that are used to control a horse while riding.
I have never heard of galloping boots?
football boots are for football :).
longer riding boots are better in my opinion as they make riding more comfortable for both horse and rider. Your appearance also looks much better with longer boots.
