FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the faux leather is water-resistant and easy to clean, they are not classified as fully waterproof footwear for submersion.
Can I use leather conditioner on these?
No, these boots are made from faux leather. Traditional leather conditioners are ineffective and may leave an oily residue.
What is the best way to store these long-term?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally with a boot tree or stuffed with paper to help maintain their shape.
Are these boots unisex?
Yes, the Moretta Alma range is generally suitable for both men and women, provided the UK size 9.5 fits your measurements.
Do they provide ankle support?
The boots provide standard support consistent with jodhpur styles, allowing for the necessary flexibility in the ankle for correct leg positioning while riding.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slightly tight when wearing thick winter socks
The moisture-wicking lining is designed to be efficient; try switching to thinner, technical equestrian socks to regain comfort without losing warmth.
Build-up of grime in the sole tread
Use a stiff-bristled brush to dislodge dried mud from the tread patterns to maintain optimal grip in the stirrups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots last as long as possible, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Routine Cleaning: After each use, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove manure, mud, or sweat. The faux leather does not require traditional leather polish.
- Drying: Avoid placing the boots directly against heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the faux leather material over time. Air dry in a cool, well-ventilated area.
- Compatibility: These boots are designed to fit standard jodhpur styles and are compatible with most half-chaps. Ensure you verify your UK 9.5 sizing with your preferred riding sock thickness for the best fit.
- Storage: Keep in a dry, dark place to prevent the material from cracking or fading.
