LeMieux Essence Quilted Long Leather Riding Boots

LeMieux Essence Quilted Riding Boot - Regular Height, Full Calf

The LeMieux Essence Quilted Riding Boot is a long leather-lined riding boot with a seamless quilted front panel, elastic calf gussets and a full-length YKK zip, supplied here in a Regular height with a Full calf fitting. It is best for riders who want a smart, streamlined competition-ready boot that is comfortable enough for schooling, lessons and long days on the yard.

The quilted panel moulds to the flex of the foot as you ride, while the X-Grip rubber sole and 5-density footbed work together to keep the foot stable and secure in the stirrup in all weathers.

How to Use

1. Measure your calf at its widest point wearing the socks and breeches you normally ride in, then measure from the floor to the back of the knee.
2. Compare both measurements against the size chart and choose the Regular height, Full calf option if it matches.
3. Open the YKK zip fully, slide the foot in and draw the zip up from the heel to behind the knee, then secure the concealed zip keeper.
4. Check that the neoprene-cushioned cover sits comfortably behind the knee and that the quilted panel lies flat over the front of the foot.
5. Wear the boots for short sessions at first so the leather softens and settles at the ankle.
6. After riding, brush off mud and grit, dry naturally away from direct heat, condition the leather and store on boot trees.

FAQ

What size should I order in the Essence riding boot?
Measure your calf circumference at its widest point and your height from floor to the back of the knee, both while wearing riding socks and breeches. This listing is the Regular height with a Full calf width, which suits an average lower leg length and a standard to fuller calf.

Are these boots suitable for wearing with spurs?
Yes. An integrated spur rest is mounted on the engineered zip protector flap, so spurs sit in a consistent position on the heel.

Will the sole grip in wet conditions?
The X-Grip rubber sole is designed to give non-slip traction in every weather, and its linear tread pattern is shaped to interact with the grip on your stirrup footplate for foot security in the stirrup.

Do long riding boots need wearing in?
Most long boots do. The leather softens and drops slightly at the ankle with wear, so the boots may feel taller and firmer at first. Short initial wears help them settle.

How do I care for the leather lining and upper?
Remove mud and grit after each ride, allow the boots to dry naturally away from radiators or direct heat, and apply a suitable leather conditioner regularly. Boot trees help maintain the streamlined shape.

What can I do if the calf feels slightly tight?
The elastic gussets allow a small amount of give and the leather relaxes with wear. If the calf is clearly too tight or too loose, choose the width category that matches your measurement rather than relying on the gussets.
