What is a jodhpur boot, and do you need one?

A jodhpur boot — also sold as a paddock boot — is a short riding boot that finishes just above the ankle. It gives you a heel to sit safely in the stirrup and a stable ankle, without the height or cost of a tall riding boot. Riders wear them on their own for schooling, hacking and yard work, or with half chaps to get the look and leg protection of a tall boot at a lower price.

Every boot on this page is a Premier Equine jodhpur or paddock boot. If you want the brand’s full footwear range including tall boots, country boots and socks, browse Premier Equine riding boots, or see every jodhpur boot we stock across all brands in jodhpur boots.

Leather or synthetic — which is right for you?

Synthetic boots such as the Rossago at £28.80 cost the least, wipe clean in seconds and do not need feeding or conditioning. They are the sensible choice for a first pair, for a rider who is still growing, or for anyone who only wants a boot for mucking out and the odd lesson.

Leather boots such as the Virtus at £50.40 or the Mimas at £74.00 cost more up front but soften and mould to the foot as you wear them, and generally last longer if you look after them. If you are riding several times a week, leather is usually the better value over time.

Front zip or pull-on Chelsea — which closure suits your routine?

There are no lace-up boots in this Premier Equine range: every style here either zips at the front or pulls straight on. Chelsea styles such as the Torlano at £48.60 and the Rossago at £28.80 use elastic side panels only — quickest to get on and off, ideal if you are in and out of boots all day.

Front-zip styles such as the Virtus at £50.40, the Mimas at £74.00 and the Lanark at £84.00 let you close the boot around the instep and ankle for a snugger fit, and most of them keep an elastic side panel as well so they still give a little. If you want a spur rest, the Balmoral at £75.60, the Loxley at £84.60 and the Virtus at £50.40 all have one.

What sizes can you actually buy right now?

Across the styles in stock, adult sizes run from UK 4 to UK 12, with half size 6.5 available in the Lanark at £84.00 and the Loxley at £84.60. Children are covered by junior sizes running from UK 12 junior up to UK 3. Colour choice is brown and black on most leather styles; the synthetic boots are black only.

Which Premier Equine jodhpur boots come in children’s sizes?

Three junior styles have sizes in stock:

  • Virtus Junior Leather Paddock Boot — from £45.00. European leather with a YKK front zip, the widest junior size run, in brown and black. UK 1, 2, 12 and 13 in brown are £45.00; the junior-labelled sizes are £48.60.
  • Elnaro Junior Leather Paddock Boot — £48.60. Leather upper and lining, in black, currently UK 12, UK 13 and UK 1 junior.
  • Rossago Junior Synthetic Chelsea Paddock Boot — £28.80. Synthetic pull-on, currently UK 13 junior in black.

How do you make a pair of jodhpur boots last?

Knock the mud off and let boots dry naturally away from direct heat — radiators and heat guns crack leather. Feed leather boots with a conditioner every few weeks in winter and they will stay supple. Synthetic boots only need a damp cloth. Whichever you choose, boot trees or a firm ball of paper inside will help them hold their shape between rides.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between jodhpur boots and paddock boots?

In practice there is no difference — the two names describe the same short, ankle-height riding boot, and Premier Equine uses “paddock boot” in most of its product names. “Jodhpur boot” is the more traditional British term; “paddock boot” is more common internationally. Every boot in this collection is the same category of short riding boot.

How much do Premier Equine jodhpur boots cost?

The boots with sizes in stock in this collection run from £28.80 for the synthetic Rossago Chelsea Paddock Boot up to £90.00 for the Calceus Leather Paddock Boots. Leather adult styles start at £48.60 for the Torlano Chelsea, with the Virtus at £50.40 offering the widest size run at the lower end.

Are any Premier Equine jodhpur boots waterproof?

Yes. The Taro Waterproof Leather Paddock Boot at £88.00 is the waterproof style in this collection — Nappa leather with a Hydroguard waterproof lining — and it is currently in stock in UK 4 to UK 11 in both brown and black. If you are mainly riding and doing yard work through a British winter, it is the style to look at first.

Do Premier Equine make jodhpur boots for children?

Yes. Three junior styles currently have stock: the Virtus Junior Leather Paddock Boot from £45.00, the Elnaro Junior Leather Paddock Boot at £48.60 and the Rossago Junior Synthetic Chelsea Paddock Boot at £28.80. Junior sizes run from UK 12 junior up to UK 3. For a child who is still growing quickly, the synthetic Rossago Junior is the least expensive way to keep them properly shod.

Can you wear jodhpur boots with half chaps?

Yes — that is one of the main reasons riders buy them. A short boot plus half chaps gives you the leg coverage and appearance of a tall riding boot for less money, and lets you swap the chaps off for yard work. A front-zip style such as the Virtus at £50.40 can be closed tight around the ankle, which helps it sit neatly under a half chap.

Which half size options are available if I am between sizes?

Half sizes are limited in this range. UK 6.5 is currently in stock in the Lanark Leather Paddock Boots at £84.00 (brown and black) and the Loxley Ladies Leather Paddock/Riding Boot at £84.60 (brown). If neither works for you and you are unsure whether to size up or down, get in touch and our team will help you choose.

Still not sure which pair to buy?
