Horse riding boots are usually made of leather and often extend above the ankles. Traditionally, riding boots had high heels to prevent the boot from slipping out of the stirrup while riding. However, most modern riding boots have low heels, which allow them to be used as casual boots.
Kinds of Horse Riding Boots include the following:
Field boots
Field Horse Riding Boots are laced up at the ankles, which provides a bit of slack for riding in short stirrups. They are ideal for all types of sport jumps, including fox hunting and show jumping. Most field boots are black and knee-high.
Dress boots
Dress Horse Riding Boots are used for dressage competitions, where horses are trained for athletic ability and performance. They are stiffer than field boots and are also used in fox hunts and show jumping. They are also black and often go high outside the knee.
Hunt boots
Hunt Horse Riding Boots are used primarily for fox hunting. They are designed like dress boots, with a black body and a tan cuff added to the top.
Paddock boots
Paddock Horse Riding Boots are designed for leisurely riding and everyday use. They are often used by children for show riding. They are usually ankle-high, and can be brown or black.
Comfort: Choose a horse riding boot that feels comfortable on your feet. Look for one with a soft lined or padded interior to provide cushioning for long or rough rides. Thick, soft leather boots usually provide the best comfort.
Fit: Make sure your riding boots fit snugly over your feet. Choose one with adjustable lace closures to allow you to tighten or loosen the boot as needed. Boots with higher cuts should be flexible along the sides to make them easier to put on and take off.
