Girls' riding boots
Updated: May 2026 · Written by the Rincón del Valle technical team
Choosing the right riding boots for girls is one of the most important steps for any young rider. A good boot or paddock boot makes the difference between a comfortable session and a day of discomfort.
What to consider when choosing riding boots for girls?
Below, we review the technical criteria that have the most impact on the final decision. These are the same criteria we apply in the store when a customer asks us for advice.
- Material. Genuine leather is breathable and molds to the foot, but requires maintenance. Synthetic leather (PU) is more economical, waterproof, and requires minimal care, ideal for beginners.
- Tall boot vs. paddock boot. Tall boots reach the knee and are mandatory in many competitions. Paddock boots with half chaps are more versatile and economical for everyday use.
- Size and fit. It's not just the foot length: for tall boots, calf circumference is critical. Measure at the end of the day and consult each brand's specific guide.
- Closure. Rear zipper for ease of use, Mountain Horse-style laces for precise adjustment, or traditional zipper-less closure for purists.

Frequently Asked Questions about Girls' Riding Boots
What is the difference between a tall boot and a paddock boot?
A tall boot reaches the knee and is used in dressage and formal show jumping. A paddock boot comes up to the ankle and is combined with half chaps to cover the calf. Paddock boots are easier to put on and more economical for beginners.
How do I measure my foot correctly?
Stand on a piece of paper at the end of the day (when your foot is most swollen) and trace its outline. Measure the length in cm. For tall boots, also measure the calf circumference at the widest part.
How long do riding boots last?
A genuine leather boot with good maintenance can last 5-8 years of intensive use. A synthetic one, 2-4 years. The key is to clean them after each use and moisturize the leather monthly.
