LeMieux Junior Field Leather Riding Boots for Kids
Description
LeMieux Junior Field Riding Boots - Regular & Slim Calf
The LeMieux Junior Field Riding Boots are leather long riding boots made for young riders, available in Regular and Slim calf fittings. They combine elastic calf gussets, a full-length YKK rear zip, integrated spur rests and an X-Grip rubber sole, making them best for juniors who school, jump and compete regularly rather than hack occasionally.
An athletic boot through and through, the design focuses on all-day comfort, foot stability, lower leg support and all-weather grip, so young riders can concentrate on their riding rather than their footwear.
Key Features
- Leather uppers: crafted for support and comfort in every equestrian discipline.
- Elastic calf gussets: high-grade and durable, giving a close fit around the lower leg.
- Elasticated front ankle lacing: streamlined and seamless for natural flex in the saddle.
- YKK rear zip: runs from the back of the heel to the top of the calf behind the knee.
- Concealed zip keeper and sturdy zip puller: makes pulling the boots on and off easy.
- Integrated spur rests: on either side of the heel to keep spurs sitting level.
- X-Grip rubber sole: non-slip traction in every weather, with a linear tread pattern that interacts with the stirrup footplate grip for maximum foot security.
- Comfortable footbed: provides support and stability underfoot.
- Breathable mesh lining: all-day comfort for hardworking feet and legs.

How to Use
- Measure the rider's calf circumference at its widest point and the height from the floor to just below the back of the knee.
- Choose Slim for a slimmer lower leg or Regular for a fuller calf, and select the rider's usual footwear size.
- Unzip the boot fully, undo the zip keeper and use the zip puller to draw the boot on with the foot pointed.
- Zip from the heel upwards, then close the concealed keeper to secure the top of the zip.
- Wear the boots for short sessions at first so the leather settles at the ankle before longer schooling or competition days.
- After riding, wipe off mud, dry naturally away from direct heat and condition the leather regularly. Browse more riding boots to complete the kit.
FAQ
What is the difference between the Regular and Slim calf fittings?
The Slim fitting is cut narrower through the calf for riders with a slimmer lower leg, while the Regular fitting allows more room for a fuller calf or thicker riding socks. Both share the same leather construction and features.
Do these junior field boots come up true to size?
Select the rider's usual footwear size. Measure the calf circumference and calf height before ordering, as calf shape is the most common reason long riding boots are returned.
Can spurs be worn with these boots?
Yes. Integrated spur rests are built into either side of the heel, so spurs sit level and stay in position.
Are they suitable for competing?
Yes. They are leather field boots designed for every equestrian discipline, so they suit schooling at home as well as competition days, subject to the dress rules of the relevant discipline.
Will the soles grip in the stirrup?
The X-Grip rubber sole uses a linear tread pattern designed to interact with the stirrup footplate grip, giving foot security in the stirrup and non-slip traction on the yard in all weather.
How should the boots be cared for?
Wipe away mud and dust with a damp cloth after riding, allow the leather to dry naturally away from direct heat, condition regularly and store upright with boot trees or shapers.
