LeMieux Essence Quilted Tall Riding Boots Slim Calf

The LeMieux Essence Quilted Riding Boot is a tall leather-lined riding boot with a slim calf fit, a quilted front panel and an X-Grip rubber sole. It is best for riders who school, jump and compete and want a streamlined, elongated silhouette with genuine lower leg support and all-weather grip.

Durable elastic calf gussets hold the shaft close to the leg, while the seamless quilted panel moulds to the flex of the foot so the boot works with you rather than against you. Detailing such as the integrated spur rest and neoprene-cushioned knee cover make it as practical on a long yard day as it is smart in the arena.

Key Features

• Elongated streamlined profile for a sleek line down the lower leg.

How to Use

1. Measure your calf at its widest point and your lower leg height from floor to the back of the knee while seated, wearing the socks and breeches you ride in.
2. Compare both measurements to the size chart and choose the Slim calf fit only if your calf sits within the slim range.
3. Open the rear YKK zip fully, slide your foot in and draw the zip up, using the zip puller and securing the concealed keeper.
4. Check the neoprene-cushioned cover sits comfortably behind the knee and that the shaft is snug without pinching.
5. Wear the boots around the yard for short spells before a long ride so the ankle creases and the shaft settles.
6. After riding, wipe off mud and sweat, dry naturally away from direct heat, then condition the leather and store on boot trees.

FAQ

Is the Essence boot a slim or wide calf fit?
This listing is the Slim calf fit. If your calf measures towards the upper end of the slim range, or you ride in thicker winter breeches, choose the wider calf option instead.

How should tall riding boots fit when new?
They should feel snug in the calf and slightly tall at the back of the knee. Leather boots drop as the ankle creases with wear, so a little extra height when new is normal.

Are these boots suitable for spurs?
Yes. An integrated spur rest is mounted on the engineered zip protector flap to help position spurs correctly.

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

How do I care for the leather?
Wipe away mud and sweat after riding, allow the boots to dry naturally away from direct heat, apply a suitable leather conditioner regularly and use boot trees or stuff the shafts to hold their shape.

Can I wear them for yard work as well as riding?
They are made for riding, with a leather lining and contoured footbed designed for all-day comfort. For heavy mucking out, a dedicated yard boot will keep the leather in better condition for longer.
