Long Riding Boots FAQs

Do long riding boots protect your legs?

Yes, long riding boots offer superior leg protection. They protect against cuts, bruises, and other injuries that can happen when riding horses since they cover a large percentage of the lower leg. The sturdy design of the boots also aids in shielding the rider from the elements and other possible risks found in barns and outdoor environments.

How should long riding boots fit you?

Long riding boots should not be overly tight; they should fit comfortably around your foot, ankle, and calf. The ankle and leg should feel safe and unrestricted, but there should be enough room around the foot to allow for some movement. Making sure the boot is the proper height is crucial; when standing, the top of the boot should rest slightly below the knee. When trying them on, keep in mind that the boot will sink somewhat as it settles and you ride.

How do I break in long riding boots?

Long leather riding boots require considerable breaking in, but the process guarantees that they will conform to the contours of your legs and foot for optimal comfort. To begin softening the leather, wear your boots inside for brief intervals of time. To aid in softening the leather, you can also apply leather conditioners. When you first start riding in them, go for shorter rides and as the boots get more comfortable, gradually extend the duration. To speed up the process, some riders rely on boot stretchers or thick socks.

How do you measure for long riding boots?

The three most important dimensions to take when measuring for long riding boots are boot height, calf breadth, and foot size.

  • Foot size: This is your typical shoe size.
  • Calf width: Use a measuring tape to find the width of your calf. Sitting with your knee at a 90-degree angle and your foot flat on the floor is beneficial.
  • Boot height: Measure your boot height from the ground to the back of your knee. This dimension should be increased by approximately one inch because the boot will gradually become less in size as it breaks in.

To guarantee accuracy, wear the socks and breeches you usually ride in when collecting these measurements. This will guarantee that the boots match your typical riding attire.
