The LeMieux Essence Quilted Riding Boot is a long, leather-lined riding boot with a quilted front panel, elastic calf gussets and a full-length YKK rear zip. This option is the Regular height with an X-Slim calf, making it best for riders with slim lower legs who want a close, streamlined fit for schooling, competition and everyday riding.

Specifications

How to Use

1. Measure your calf at its widest point over riding socks and breeches, and your lower leg height from the floor to the back of the knee while sitting.
2. Compare both measurements with the size chart and confirm the X-Slim calf suits your leg before ordering.
3. Open the rear YKK zip fully, slide the foot in and draw the zip up using the puller, then secure the concealed zip keeper.
4. Wear indoors on a clean surface for short spells first so the leather begins to soften and shape to your leg.
5. Fit spurs to the integrated spur rest if required, checking they sit level on both boots.
6. After riding, brush off mud, wipe clean, dry naturally away from direct heat and condition the leather regularly with boot trees in place.

FAQ

Who is the X-Slim calf fitting best for?
The X-Slim calf is the narrowest option and best suits riders with slim lower legs. If your calf measurement falls at the wider end of the chart, choose a slim or standard calf width instead to avoid a strained zip.

How do I measure for long riding boots?
Sit with your knee bent at a right angle. Measure from the floor to the crease at the back of the knee for height, and around the widest part of the calf for width, wearing the socks and breeches you ride in.

Should the boots feel tight when new?
Long leather boots feel snug initially and sit slightly high on the leg. The leather softens and drops a little with wear, so avoid sizing up on foot length to compensate for a close first fit.

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 every weather, so they cope with walking around the yard, though the linear tread is designed primarily to interact with your stirrup footplate grip.

How do I care for them?
Wipe off mud and sweat after use, allow to dry naturally away from direct heat, condition the leather regularly and store upright with boot trees to protect the shape. Browse more riding boots for other heights and calf widths.
