How to get the right size
A tall riding boot is not chosen by shoe size alone. Three measurements are needed, and this is exactly what prevents the most returns:
- Foot length, in centimeters, measured from toe to heel while standing.
- Calf circumference, at the widest part, wearing your riding breeches and the socks you plan to use.
- Height, from the floor to just below the knee, while sitting with your leg bent at a right angle.
Measure yourself in the afternoon: your foot and calf swell throughout the day, and that is the actual measurement you will be riding with. Leather boots stretch slightly in circumference with use, but they do not stretch in length or height, so it is best not to force those two measurements.
Leather care
Remove mud as soon as you finish riding, before it dries: when dry, it pulls the oil out of the leather as it falls off. Clean with a damp cloth and, from time to time, apply a specific moisturizing product for leather.
Let them dry away from radiators and direct sunlight: dry heat causes leather to crack. Store them upright with boot trees or shapers so the shaft does not collapse.
Frequently asked questions
Why do riding boots have a heel?
It is a safety measure: the heel prevents the foot from sliding through and getting stuck in the stirrup, which is what can cause a rider to remain caught during a fall.
Do they stretch?
The leather stretches slightly in calf circumference with use, and the shaft drops a few millimeters as the ankle creases form. They do not stretch in foot length, so do not compensate for a small size hoping they will stretch.
How long do they take to break in?
It depends on the leather and the usage, but it is best to keep your first few sessions short. A new boot will feel tight on the instep and behind the knee until the creases form.
