How to Use
- Measure your calf at its widest point and floor to the back of the knee, wearing the breeches and socks you ride in.
- Check those measurements against the Regular / Regular fitting before ordering.
- Open the YKK zip fully, slide the foot in and draw the zip up from heel to calf, then secure the concealed zip keeper.
- Wear the boots for short sessions at first so the leather begins to soften and settle around the ankle.
- Position spurs on the integrated spur rest so they sit level and even on both boots.
- After riding, wipe away mud and sweat, dry naturally away from direct heat and condition the leather regularly.
FAQ
What does Regular / Regular mean?
The first measurement is the boot height and the second is the calf width. Regular / Regular suits riders with an average lower leg length and an average calf circumference.
How should the boots fit when new?
They should feel snug and slightly tall behind the knee. Long leather boots drop a little as the ankle softens with wear, so a fit that is comfortable but close is correct at the start.
Will they rub behind the knee?
A neoprene-cushioned cover sits at the top of the zip specifically to prevent discomfort behind the knee.
Can I wear spurs with these boots?
Yes. An integrated spur rest is mounted on the engineered zip protector flap to help hold spurs in position.
Are they suitable for yard work as well as riding?
The X-Grip rubber sole gives non-slip traction in all weathers, so the boots handle walking around the yard, although the linear tread is designed primarily to work with your stirrup footplate grip.
How do I care for the leather?
Wipe off mud and sweat after each ride, allow the boots to dry naturally away from direct heat and apply a suitable leather conditioner. Boot trees or shapers help the boots keep their profile.
