FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide calves?
Yes, the Pamina series features rear calf elastic inserts for a flexible fit, and specific wide-fit variations are available.
Can I use these boots for casual hiking?
While they feature an AllTerrain sole, they are primarily designed for equestrian and yard use, though they provide ample support for casual country walks.
How should I break in my new leather boots?
Wear them for short periods around the house or in the yard to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape before undertaking long rides.
Are the boots fully waterproof?
They feature a waterproof membrane lining; however, ensure the leather is treated regularly to maintain the integrity of the water-repellent exterior.
What is the purpose of the steel shank?
The steel shank provides essential arch support and lateral stability, which is crucial for safety when in the saddle.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the ActiveFlex insoles can be removed for cleaning or replaced with custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Zip becomes difficult to slide
Clean any grit or mud from the zip teeth and apply a dedicated silicone-based zip lubricant.
Boots feel slippery on wet surfaces
Ensure the AllTerrain soles are clear of packed mud or debris which can obstruct the grip pattern.
Loss of water repellency
Re-treat the nubuck leather with a high-quality weather-proofing spray specifically designed for waterproof leathers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Shires Moretta Pamina boots provide long-term service, follow these maintenance steps:
- Cleaning: After use, remove dried mud and dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Never force-dry leather boots near direct heat sources like radiators, as this causes cracking.
- Leather Conditioning: Regularly apply a leather conditioner specifically formulated for nubuck to maintain the material's water-repellent finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using boot trees can help maintain the shape of the calf area.
- Compatibility: These boots are compatible with most standard riding stirrups, but always ensure your stirrup width is appropriate for your foot size.
