LeMieux Brilliance Riding Boot - Full Grain Leather Long Boots

The LeMieux Brilliance Riding Boot is a long leather riding boot made from 'fit and flex' full grain premium leather, with a diamante stone channel topline, a YKK back zip and an X-Grip rubber sole. It is best for riders who want one elegant boot that works for daily schooling and for competition, and it is offered in Short and Full fittings so the height and calf can be matched to your leg.

Every element is built around support and comfort in the saddle: elastic calf gussets for a close fit, seamless elasticated front ankle lacing for flex, a neoprene-cushioned cover behind the knee, and a 5-density contoured footbed under the whole sole of the foot.

Specifications

How to Use

1. Measure your calf at its widest point and from the floor to the back of the knee, wearing your usual riding socks and breeches.
2. Choose the Short or Full fitting that matches those measurements; if between heights, take the taller option as leather drops with wear.
3. Open the YKK zip fully, slide the foot in, then draw the zip up the back of the calf and secure the concealed zip keeper.
4. Check the ankle lacing sits flat and the neoprene cover rests comfortably behind the knee before mounting.
5. Fit spurs to the integrated spur rest on the zip protector flap if required.
6. After riding, wipe off mud and grit, dry naturally away from direct heat and condition the leather regularly.

FAQ

What is the difference between the Short and Full options?
The Short and Full fittings refer to the boot height and calf shape. Short suits riders with a shorter leg from floor to the back of the knee, while Full suits a taller leg. Measure before ordering, as height and calf width are the most common reasons long boots are returned.

Are these boots suitable for competition as well as schooling?
Yes. The Brilliance is designed for support and comfort across every equestrian discipline, so it can be worn for daily flatwork and jumping as well as for competition days.

Can I wear spurs with the Brilliance Riding Boot?
Yes. An integrated spur rest is mounted on the engineered zip protector flap to hold spurs in position.

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

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

How should I care for the leather?
Wipe away mud and grit with a damp cloth after riding, allow the boots to dry naturally away from direct heat, condition the leather regularly and store them upright with boot shapers to protect the shaft.
