FAQs

Are these boots fully waterproof?

The boots feature a waterproof membrane up to the ankle, making them highly effective against water infiltration in damp conditions.

Can I wear these for competition?

Yes, the dressage-cut top and professional brown finish make them suitable for a wide range of equestrian activities, including light competition.

How do I maintain the fleece lining?

Keep the interior clean of dirt and debris. If the lining becomes damp, stuff the boots with paper towels to draw out moisture and air dry.

Do these boots come in different calf widths?

The boots feature an UltraFit rear elastic panel which provides a responsive, adaptive fit for most calf sizes.

Can I use spurs with these boots?

Yes, they include integrated non-slip spur rests to keep your equipment securely in place while riding.

What is the best way to store them?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to maintain the integrity of the leather and the faux fur lining.

Troubleshooting

Zip feels difficult to pull up

Check for debris or dried mud in the teeth of the zip. Clean with a soft brush and ensure the calf panel is aligned correctly.

Leather feels stiff after storage

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore flexibility and prevent surface cracking.

Loss of water repellency

Re-apply a suitable leather waterproofing treatment specifically designed for oiled or waxed leather products.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal insulation for cold winter weather
  • Water-repellent leather keeps feet dry in damp conditions
  • Flexible design allows for easy transition from yard work to riding
  • Rear elastic panels provide a secure and adjustable fit
  • Durable YKK zip ensures long-lasting functionality

Cons

  • Leather requires regular conditioning to prevent cracking
  • Requires a break-in period for optimal comfort
  • Not intended for extreme deep-water submersion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your boots last, it is essential to clean off mud and debris after every use with a soft brush. Periodically treat the leather with a leather-safe conditioner to maintain its FLEXDRY properties. Ensure the YKK zip is kept free of grit to prevent jamming. When fitting, use the rear elastic panels to find the right tension; the zip should close without excessive force to avoid stress on the hardware. If the boots get soaked, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to become brittle.
