LeMieux Zip Paddock Leather Riding Boots for Adults
Description
LeMieux Zip Paddock Boot - Full Leather Short Riding Boot
The LeMieux Zip Paddock Boot is a full leather short riding boot with a functional front zip, an elastic Chelsea gusset and an X-Grip rubber sole. It is designed for riders who need one boot that handles schooling, hacking and yard work in the same day, and it is best for anyone who wants secure stirrup grip with everyday walkability.
Leather-covered inside leg elastic protects the inner leg against the saddle, while the 5-density contoured ergonomic footbed and breathable lining keep feet supported and comfortable from morning feeds through to evening stables. Firm rubber side spur rests mean the boot works just as well for riders who school in spurs.

How to Use
- Measure your foot while wearing the socks you normally ride in and choose your usual boot size - this style generally fits true to size.
- Open the front zip fully and use the LeMieux pull loop at the heel to draw the boot on.
- Close the zip; the Chelsea gusset will flex to give a snug fit over the instep and ankle.
- Wear alone for yard work, or pair with half chaps or gaiters for a full-length leg in the saddle.
- Position spurs on the firm rubber side spur rests so they sit level and secure.
- After riding, brush off mud and grit, wipe with a damp cloth, dry naturally away from direct heat and condition the leather regularly.

FAQ
Do LeMieux Zip Paddock Boots fit true to size?
Yes, this style generally fits true to size. If you are between sizes, or you wear thick winter riding socks, take the larger size and allow a little room at the toe.
Can I wear these boots with half chaps?
Yes. Paddock boots are designed to be worn with half chaps or gaiters for a long-boot look in the saddle, and equally well on their own around the yard.
Are they suitable for riding in spurs?
Yes. The boot has firm rubber side spur rests on both sides to hold spurs level and in the correct position.
How grippy is the sole in the stirrup?
The X-Grip rubber sole has a linear tread pattern specifically designed to interact with the grip on your stirrup footplate, giving maximum foot security in the stirrup, plus non-slip traction on the ground in all weathers.
Can I wear them for yard work as well as riding?
Yes. The contoured 5-density footbed and breathable lining make them comfortable for long days mucking out, leading and doing chores, as well as schooling and hacking.
How do I care for the leather?
Remove mud and grit after use, wipe with a damp cloth, allow to dry naturally away from direct heat and apply a leather conditioner regularly to keep the upper supple.
