How to Use
- Measure your calf at its widest point over the breeches and socks you normally ride in.
- Sitting with your knee bent at 90 degrees, measure from the floor to the crease at the back of your knee for height.
- Compare both measurements with the size chart and choose the Regular/Slim fitting only if your calf sits within that range.
- Open the YKK zip fully, slide the foot in and draw the zip up from the heel to the top of the calf, then secure the concealed zip keeper.
- Wear the boots for short sessions at first so the leather can soften and mould to your leg.
- After riding, wipe off mud and sweat, dry naturally away from direct heat and condition the leather regularly. Store on boot trees or shapers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Regular/Slim and wider fittings?
The Regular/Slim fitting has a narrower calf circumference for the same height, so it suits riders with a slimmer lower leg. Riders with a fuller or more muscular calf should choose a wider calf fitting to avoid strain on the zip.
Will these boots drop and soften with wear?
Yes. Full grain leather softens and settles with use, so the boots should feel snug at the top of the calf when new and will mould to the leg over time. Allow a short breaking-in period rather than sizing up.
Can I wear spurs with the Brilliance boot?
Yes. An integrated spur rest is mounted on the engineered zip protector flap, giving spurs a defined position on the boot.
Are these boots suitable for competition as well as schooling?
The elegant silhouette and diamante stone channel topline suit the competition arena, while the X-Grip rubber sole, ergonomic footbed and leather lining make them comfortable for everyday schooling and yard wear.
How do I stop the boots rubbing behind the knee?
A neoprene-cushioned cover sits behind the knee over the zip area to reduce pressure and prevent discomfort. Making sure the boot height matches your leg measurement also helps.
How should I care for the leather?
Wipe clean after each ride, dry naturally away from direct heat and apply a suitable leather conditioner regularly. Use boot trees to help the leather hold its shape.
