Full details

These boots provide excellent warmth and protection through an oiled water-repellent leather exterior and an insulating faux fur lining, though users should ensure the calf fit is appropriate for their specific leg shape to maximize the benefit of the rear elastic panels.

FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

The boots feature a waterproof membrane up to the ankle, and the exterior leather is treated to be water-repellent.

Can I wear these for competition?

The boots feature a dressage cut, making them suitable for casual or schooling purposes, though you should check specific competition rules regarding footwear.

How do I clean the fleece lining?

Keep the interior dry to prevent odors. If they become damp, air them out in a well-ventilated area.

Do I need to break these in?

The flexible leather and elastic panels minimize break-in time, but you may want to wear them around the house for a few hours before a long ride.

Are the spur rests removable?

No, the spur rests are integrated into the heel design of the Moretta AllTerrain sole.

What size should I choose?

These follow standard UK sizing. Because of the Sherpa lining, ensure you allow enough room for thick winter socks.

Troubleshooting

Zip feels difficult to pull up

Check the zip teeth for dried mud or straw debris and clear it using a soft brush; apply a dedicated silicone zip lubricant if it remains stiff.

Boots feel tight after heavy use

Leather can occasionally compress; ensure you are wearing appropriate equestrian socks and verify that the rear elastic panel is not obstructed by your breeches.

Water leaking into the foot area

While the membrane is waterproof, ensure the leather is regularly treated with a quality leather oil or wax to maintain the external water-repellent barrier.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior warmth thanks to the Sherpa fleece lining
  • Water-repellent leather is flexible and low maintenance
  • Secure fit provided by the rear elastic UltraFit panels
  • Versatile design suitable for both yard work and riding
  • Strong YKK zips with protective security tabs

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof above the ankle level
  • The fleece lining may take longer to dry if fully submerged
  • Requires proper leather care to maintain water repellency over time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Ventura boots maintain their integrity, wipe off mud and grit after every use using a soft brush or damp cloth. Since the leather is 'oiled', avoid harsh detergents that may strip the protective finish. If the boots become saturated, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry slowly away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack. Ensure the YKK zip is kept free of debris to prevent sticking. When fitting, the rear elastic panel should feel snug against your calf; if you are between sizes, consider the weight of the socks you intend to wear, as the fleece lining already provides significant bulk.
