Product Information

Full details

The Shires Moretta Ventura Riding Boots are designed for adult riders and equestrians who require a versatile, high-performance boot that transitions seamlessly from yard work to the saddle. These boots offer exceptional warmth and weather protection through a combination of oiled water-repellent leather and insulated faux fur lining; however, potential users should note that the fitted calf design requires careful measurement to ensure a comfortable fit over breeches.

FAQs

Are these boots suitable for riding?

Yes, the boots feature a dressage cut top, non-slip spur rests, and steel shanks in the sole, making them fully functional for riding.

Are the boots completely waterproof?

The boots feature a waterproof membrane up to the ankle area and are made from water-repellent leather, providing excellent protection against rain and mud.

How do I determine if the calf size will fit?

The boots feature elasticated rear panels. It is recommended to measure your calf width while wearing your typical riding breeches and socks to ensure a proper match.

Can these be worn in sub-zero temperatures?

The Sherpa fleece thermal lining is designed to trap heat and insulate against the cold, making them highly effective for winter temperatures.

What is the best way to clean the faux fur lining?

Avoid getting the inside excessively wet. Use a damp cloth to spot clean if necessary and allow them to air dry fully.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty zipping the boots

Ensure the rear elastic panel is not bunched up and clean the YKK zip track with a soft brush to remove dust or grit.

Boots feel stiff after storage

Apply a leather conditioner and work it into the flex points of the ankle to soften the material.

Water penetration through the zip

While the boots have a waterproof membrane, the zip area is the most vulnerable point; ensure the security tab is fully closed to minimize moisture entry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Shires Moretta Ventura boots maintain their longevity, follow these care steps:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove dried mud using a soft brush. Wipe the leather with a damp cloth.
  2. Conditioning: Regularly apply a high-quality leather conditioner designed for oiled finishes to keep the leather flexible and water-repellent.
  3. Drying: Always allow boots to dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them directly against radiators or heat sources, as this can cause the leather to crack.
  4. Storage: Use boot trees or keep them upright to maintain the shape of the leg.
  5. Fit Check: Ensure the rear elastic panels are not overstretched; if the zip is difficult to close, consider the thickness of your socks or breeches.
