LeMieux Brilliance Leather Long Riding Boots

LeMieux Brilliance Riding Boot - Full Grain Leather Long Boot

The LeMieux Brilliance Riding Boot is a tall full grain leather riding boot with a rear YKK zip, elastic calf gussets and an X-Grip rubber sole, supplied here in the Regular height and Regular calf fitting. It is best for riders who want one elegant leather boot that works for flatwork, jumping and competition as well as everyday schooling, with a subtle diamante stone channel along the topline for a dressed-up finish.

The 'fit and flex' construction combines a close-fitting leg with genuine flex through the ankle, so the boot supports the lower leg without restricting the rider's position or feel through the stirrup.

Key Features

• Full grain leather upper with 'fit and flex' construction for support and long-term comfort
• Diamante stone channel topline - subtle, elegant detail rather than heavy sparkle
• High-grade elastic calf gussets for a close fit around the leg
• Seamless elasticated front ankle lacing that flexes with the ankle
• Durable YKK rear zip from the back of the heel to the top of the calf, with concealed zip keeper and sturdy puller
• Neoprene-cushioned cover behind the knee to prevent rubbing
• Integrated spur rest mounted on the engineered zip protector flap
• X-Grip rubber sole with a linear tread designed to interact with stirrup footplate grip
• 5-density contoured ergonomic footbed supporting the entire sole of the foot
• Breathable full leather lining and heel tongue for all-day wear

How to Use

1. Measure your calf at its widest point and your leg from the floor to the back of the knee, wearing the socks and breeches you normally ride in.
2. Compare both measurements with the LeMieux size chart and choose the height and calf combination that matches - this pair is Regular height and Regular calf.
3. Open the rear zip fully, slide the foot in and draw the zip up steadily, holding the boot against the leg rather than pulling on the zip alone.
4. Secure the concealed zip keeper at the top so the puller sits flat under the knee.
5. Wear the boots for short sessions at first to allow the leather to soften and mould to your leg.
6. After riding, wipe off mud and sweat, dry naturally away from direct heat and condition the leather regularly. Store with boot trees or shapers.

FAQ

What does Regular/Regular mean?
The first measurement is the boot height and the second is the calf width. Regular/Regular suits a rider with an average leg length and an average calf circumference. If your calf is fuller or slimmer, or your leg longer or shorter, choose the matching alternative combination instead.

Are these boots suitable for dressage and jumping?
Yes. The Brilliance is designed for support and comfort across every equestrian discipline, with an elegant silhouette for competition and flex through the ankle for jumping and general schooling.

Can I wear spurs with them?
Yes. An integrated spur rest is mounted on the engineered zip protector flap to help position spurs correctly.

Will they rub behind the knee?
A neoprene-cushioned cover sits behind the knee specifically to prevent discomfort in that area, and the leather softens as the boots are worn in.

How grippy is the sole?
The X-Grip rubber sole provides non-slip traction in all weather, and its linear tread pattern is designed to interact with the grip on your stirrup footplate for secure foot placement.

How do I look after leather riding boots?
Wipe off mud and sweat after each ride, allow them to dry naturally away from direct heat, condition the leather regularly and store them upright with boot trees or shapers.
