How to Use

1. Measure your calf at its widest point and from the floor to the back of your knee, wearing the riding socks you normally use.
2. Compare both measurements with the LeMieux size chart and size up if you fall between sizes or wear thicker winter socks.
3. Open the rear YKK zip fully, ease your foot in and draw the zip up steadily, keeping the calf gusset flat.
4. Secure the concealed zip keeper so the puller sits flush behind the knee.
5. Wear the boots around the yard for short spells first so the leather can begin to soften to your leg.
6. After riding, wipe off mud and grit, dry naturally away from direct heat and condition the leather regularly.

FAQ

What height and calf width is this boot?
This listing is the Short height with a Regular calf. Short suits riders with a shorter leg length from floor to knee, and Regular is the standard calf width in the LeMieux range.

How should the boots fit when new?
Snug but not tight. Leather boots settle and drop slightly at the ankle with wear, so a little firmness through the calf when new is normal. If the zip will not close comfortably over your usual riding socks, choose a wider calf.

Can I wear spurs with these boots?
Yes. An integrated spur rest is mounted on the engineered zip protector flap to hold spurs in position.

Are they suitable for wet and muddy conditions?
The X-Grip rubber sole gives non-slip traction in every weather, and the linear tread is designed to interact with your stirrup footplate grip for foot security. Wipe the boots down and dry them naturally after use.

Will the zip rub behind my knee?
A neoprene-cushioned cover sits over the top of the zip specifically to prevent discomfort behind the knee.

How do I care for the leather lining and upper?
Remove mud with a damp cloth, allow to dry away from radiators or direct heat, condition the leather regularly and store the boots upright with boot trees or shapers.
