Best Answer

Long boots, more often called Tall boots are designed to 'stabilize' a riders leg and to look stylish. Short boots typically worn with half chaps when jumping are designed to provide support and be easier to take on and off. Neither one is really any safer than the other. That being said, if the rider had and accident and they needed their boots removed short boots and half chaps would be easiest to remove. Tall boots have a zipper up the side or back for the most part nowadays, but they still might need to be cut off if they can't be pulled off easily in an emergency.

I do long jump, triple jump, and 100m and they work great. But it depends what you consider short distance. work for everything 400m and under. it has no padding on the heel so jumping with sprinting spikes can cause injury.
