How to Use
- Measure your calf at its widest point and the height from the floor to the back of your knee, wearing the riding socks and breeches you normally ride in.
- Match those measurements to the Short height and Regular calf fitting, and choose your usual shoe size.
- Open the rear YKK zip fully, release the zip keeper and use the zip puller to slide your foot in, easing the elasticated ankle lacing over the instep.
- Zip from the heel upwards, then secure the concealed zip keeper and check the neoprene cushion sits comfortably behind the knee.
- Wear the boots around the yard for short spells first so the leather begins to soften and drop to your leg.
- After riding, brush off mud, wipe down, dry naturally away from direct heat and condition the leather; store on boot trees to keep the shape.

FAQ
Do LeMieux Field Riding Boots come up true to size?
Most riders take their usual shoe size. Height and calf width are chosen separately, so measure your leg rather than guessing, and remember leather drops slightly with wear.
What does Short/Regular mean?
Short refers to the boot height from the floor to the top of the calf, and Regular refers to the calf circumference. This pairing suits riders with a shorter lower leg and an average calf width.
Can I wear spurs with these boots?
Yes. An integrated spur rest is mounted on the engineered zip protector flap to help position spurs correctly.
Are they suitable for walking around the yard?
The X-Grip rubber sole provides non-slip traction in all weathers, so they handle yard work as well as riding, though frequent mucking out is better done in yard boots to protect the leather.
What if the calf feels tight at first?
A snug new fit is normal. The elastic calf gussets flex with your leg and the leather softens over the first few rides. If the zip will not close comfortably, a wider calf fitting is the better choice.
How do I care for the leather?
Remove mud and sweat after each ride, allow the boots to dry naturally away from direct heat, condition the leather regularly and store them on boot trees or shapers.
