LeMieux Brilliance Leather Tall Riding Boots Short/Slim
Description
LeMieux Brilliance Riding Boot - Short/Slim
The LeMieux Brilliance Riding Boot is a full grain leather tall riding boot in a Short height, Slim calf fitting, finished with a discreet diamante stone channel along the topline. It is designed for riders who want an elegant competition-ready silhouette with all-day comfort, lower leg support and all-weather grip, whether schooling at home, competing or working on the yard.
The 'fit and flex' construction pairs elastic calf gussets with seamless elasticated front ankle lacing, so the boot moves with the leg rather than against it. Browse more riding boots to compare heights and calf widths.

How to Use
- Measure your foot size, your calf at its widest point and the distance from the floor to the back of your knee, wearing the socks and breeches you normally ride in.
- Compare those measurements against the LeMieux size chart and choose the Short/Slim fitting if you have a shorter lower leg and a narrower calf.
- Undo the zip fully, use the zip puller and slide your foot in, keeping the ankle lacing relaxed.
- Close the YKK zip from the heel upwards and secure the concealed zip keeper at the top.
- Wear the boots for short sessions at first so the leather begins to mould and drop to your leg.
- After riding, brush off mud, allow the boots to dry naturally away from direct heat and condition the leather regularly.
FAQ
Who is the Short/Slim fitting best for?
It is best for riders with a shorter lower leg and a narrower calf measurement. Riders with a fuller calf or a longer leg from floor to knee should choose a wider or taller fitting instead.
Will the boots feel tight behind the knee at first?
A snug fit when new is normal. Full grain leather softens and drops slightly with wear, and the neoprene-cushioned cover behind the knee helps prevent rubbing during that period.
Can I wear spurs with these boots?
Yes. An integrated spur rest is mounted on the engineered zip protector flap to help position spurs correctly.
Are they suitable for yard work as well as riding?
The X-Grip rubber sole gives non-slip traction in all weathers, so they handle walking around the yard, though most riders keep leather tall boots for riding and competition to protect the finish.
How do I care for the leather?
Wipe off mud and sweat after each ride, dry naturally away from radiators or direct heat, and apply a suitable leather conditioner regularly. Boot trees or shapers help the boots hold their shape.
What makes the sole different from an ordinary boot sole?
The X-Grip rubber sole uses a linear tread pattern designed to interact with the grip on your stirrup footplate, helping keep the foot secure in the stirrup.
