Product Information
Full details
The Shires Moretta Aida Riding Boots are designed for adult equestrians seeking a professional, close-contact feel in the saddle without sacrificing comfort. Featuring a blend of hard-wearing leather and flexible stretch panels, these boots provide a tailored leg fit and advanced shock absorption; however, riders should ensure they verify their specific calf width, as the close-fit design may feel restrictive if sized incorrectly.

FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide calves?
Shires offers specific 'Wide' fit variants within the Aida series. Please check the specific product title to ensure you select the correct width.
Can I wear these for everyday yard work?
While the boots are durable, they are designed primarily for riding. Excessive walking on rough surfaces may wear down the soles and stretch panels faster.
How do I measure my foot size for these boots?
Measure your foot while standing on a piece of paper, marking the heel and the longest toe. Use a standard UK size conversion chart to align with your measurement.
Do I need to break them in?
Yes, as with most quality leather riding boots, there is a short break-in period where the leather will soften and mold to your specific leg shape.
What material is the lining made of?
The boots feature a wicking lining designed to draw moisture away from the skin, keeping feet dry during exercise.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight around the calf
Ensure you are using thin riding socks and check if you require a 'wide' fit variant if the standard size is too restrictive.
Leather looks dull or dry
Clean the leather thoroughly with a tack cleaner and apply a nourishing leather balm or cream to restore moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Shires Moretta Aida boots, perform an initial check of the fit while wearing your typical riding socks. Break the boots in gradually by wearing them for short periods around the yard before attempting long rides. For maintenance, always clean off dirt and mud using a damp cloth after every use. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner specifically formulated for riding boots to keep the leather supple and prevent cracks. Keep the boots away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather and adhesive on the stretch panels to degrade prematurely.
