LeMieux Brilliance Tall Leather Riding Boots

LeMieux Brilliance Tall Riding Boot - Regular Calf

The LeMieux Brilliance Tall Riding Boot is a full grain leather tall riding boot with a rear YKK zip, X-Grip rubber sole and a diamante stone channel topline detail. It is designed for riders who want an elegant competition-ready boot with all-day comfort, lower leg support and all-weather grip across schooling, jumping and dressage work.

The 'fit and flex' construction pairs high-grade elastic calf gussets with seamless elasticated front ankle lacing, so the boot moves with the leg while keeping a close, supportive fit against the saddle. Browse more riding boots to compare heights and calf widths.

How to Use

1. Measure your calf at its widest point and your leg height from the floor to the back of the knee, wearing the riding socks you normally use.
2. Compare both measurements against the LeMieux size chart and choose the Tall height in Regular calf if your measurements fall in that range.
3. Open the rear YKK zip fully, slide the foot in and guide the heel down before drawing the zip up using the zip puller.
4. Secure the concealed zip keeper and check the neoprene-cushioned cover sits comfortably behind the knee.
5. Wear the boots around the house or yard for short periods to let the leather soften and drop before a long ride.
6. After riding, brush off mud, dry naturally away from direct heat and condition the leather; use boot trees to hold the shaft shape.

FAQ

Are LeMieux Brilliance boots true to size?
They are cut to standard LeMieux sizing. Measure your foot, calf circumference and leg height in your usual riding socks and compare with the LeMieux size chart, as calf and height fit matter more than foot length alone on a tall boot.

What is the difference between Regular and other calf widths?
Regular is the standard calf width in the range. Riders with a fuller calf measurement should size up in width rather than length, as the elastic gussets stretch but are not a substitute for the correct width.

Will the boots drop with wear?
Yes. Full grain leather softens and the shaft drops slightly at the ankle with wear, so a snug fit at the back of the knee when new is normal and usually settles after a few rides.

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 wet and muddy conditions?
The X-Grip rubber sole gives non-slip traction in all weathers, and the linear tread is designed to interact with stirrup footplate grip. Dry them naturally away from direct heat after wet use.

How should I care for the leather?
Wipe off mud and grit after each ride, allow to dry naturally and condition the leather regularly to keep it supple. Boot trees or shapers help the shafts keep their shape between rides.
