LeMieux Brilliance Short Leather Riding Boots X-Slim
Description
LeMieux Brilliance Short Riding Boots - X-Slim Calf
The LeMieux Brilliance Short Riding Boot is a full grain leather short riding boot with a 'fit and flex' construction, a diamante stone channel topline and an X-Grip rubber sole. This pair is the Short height in an X-Slim calf width, making it best for riders with a slimmer lower leg who want a close, elegant fit for schooling, jumping, hacking and everyday yard work.
It combines an elegant silhouette with genuine technical detail: elastic calf gussets, elasticated ankle lacing, a full-length YKK zip, a neoprene-cushioned knee cover and a 5-density ergonomic footbed for all-day support. Compared with a stiffer traditional dress boot, the Brilliance is designed to flex with the leg from the first wear while still giving lower leg support and stirrup security.

How to Use
- Measure your calf at its widest point and your leg from the floor to the back of the knee, then compare with the size chart before ordering.
- Choose your usual shoe size, allowing a little room for a riding sock.
- Undo the YKK zip fully, ease the foot in and pull the boot up using the zip puller.
- Close the zip from heel to calf and secure the concealed zip keeper.
- Stand and walk in the boots indoors to check the topline sits comfortably behind the knee.
- Fit spurs to the integrated spur rest if required, then wipe clean and condition the leather after riding.

FAQ
Do LeMieux Brilliance boots fit true to size?
Order your usual shoe size, leaving a little room for a riding sock. Calf width and boot height are chosen separately, so check both measurements rather than sizing the foot up or down to change the leg fit.
Who is the X-Slim calf width best for?
X-Slim suits riders with a slim lower leg who want a close fit. If your calf measures fuller at its widest point, choose a wider calf option in the same shoe size rather than a larger boot.
What does the Short height mean?
Short is the shortest leg height in the size range, suited to riders with a shorter measurement from the floor to the back of the knee. It helps prevent the topline pressing into the back of the knee.
Can I wear spurs with these boots?
Yes. An integrated spur rest is mounted on the engineered zip protector flap, giving spurs a defined position on the heel.
Are they suitable for yard work as well as riding?
The X-Grip rubber sole gives non-slip traction in all weather and the linear tread is designed to interact with a stirrup footplate, so they work both in the saddle and around the yard, though prolonged mucking out will shorten the life of any leather boot.
How should I care for the leather?
Wipe off mud and sweat with a damp cloth after use, dry naturally away from direct heat, condition regularly to keep the leather supple and store upright with boot shapers.
