Description
LeMieux Field Riding Boots - Short, X-Slim Calf
The LeMieux Field Riding Boots in Short height with an X-Slim calf are full grain leather riding boots built on a 'fit and flex' construction for support, stability and comfort in the saddle. They are best for riders with a slimmer lower leg who want a close, tailored field boot for schooling, hacking, lessons and competition across every discipline.
Elastic calf gussets, a rear YKK zip and an ergonomic footbed combine to make these boots easy to wear from the first ride, while the X-Grip rubber sole keeps the foot secure in the stirrup in all weathers. Browse more riding boots to compare heights and calf fittings.

How to Use
- Measure your calf circumference at its widest point and the height from the floor to the back of your knee, wearing the socks and breeches you ride in.
- Choose the Short height and X-Slim calf if your lower leg measurements fall within that fitting.
- Open the rear YKK zip fully, slide the foot in and draw the zip up towards the knee, then secure the concealed zip keeper.
- Check the ankle lacing sits flat and the neoprene cover rests comfortably behind the knee.
- Wear for short sessions at first to let the leather soften and mould to your leg.
- After riding, wipe clean, dry naturally away from direct heat and condition the leather regularly.
FAQ
What does X-Slim calf mean?
X-Slim is the narrowest calf fitting in this range, intended for riders with a slimmer lower leg who find standard calf widths gape at the back of the knee. Measure your calf at its widest point before ordering.
Are these boots true to size?
Riders generally find them consistent with their usual riding boot size, but foot length, calf width and leg height should all be checked against the size guide. If you are between sizes, factor in thicker winter socks and any bulk from your breeches.
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 everyday yard use as well as riding?
They are designed as riding boots, with an X-Grip rubber sole that provides non-slip traction in every weather, so they are comfortable for walking around the yard between rides. For heavy mucking out, a dedicated yard boot is kinder to the leather.
How do I break them in?
Wear them for short rides and short periods on the ground at first. The full grain leather softens and moulds with wear, so a snug fit through the calf at the start is normal.
How should I care for the leather?
Wipe off mud and sweat after use, allow the boots to dry naturally away from direct heat, apply a suitable leather conditioner regularly and store with boot trees or shapers to help hold the shape.
