It is a dressage model.

- Rigid shaft that provides lateral support to the leg and stabilizes the position in the saddle.
- Construction designed for grip in the stirrup.

How to choose the right size
A tall riding boot is not chosen by shoe size alone. Three measurements are needed, which is exactly what prevents the most returns:
- Foot length, in centimeters, measured from toe to heel while standing.
- Calf circumference, at the widest part, while wearing your riding breeches and the socks you intend to use.
- Height, from the ground to just below the knee, while sitting with your leg bent at a right angle.
Measure yourself in the afternoon: the foot and calf swell throughout the day and that is the real 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.
Leather care
Remove mud as soon as you finish riding, before it dries: dry mud pulls the oils from the leather when it flakes off. Clean with a damp cloth and, from time to time, apply a specific leather conditioning product.
Let them dry away from radiators and direct sunlight: dry heat cracks the leather. 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 and passing through the stirrup, which is what causes a rider to get stuck in the event of a fall.
Do they stretch?
Leather stretches somewhat 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 short 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 the first few sessions short. A new boot will feel tight at the instep and behind the knee until it creates its folds.
