What defines a dressage boot?
Dressage boots are designed to keep the lower leg stable and aligned. A higher shaft supports correct leg position and refined communication with the horse.
Fit and leg contact
Fit depends on the combination of shoe size, shaft height and calf width. Proper fit provides support without restricting movement.
Top curve height
The height of the top curve affects both appearance and comfort. Higher curves create a classic dressage look, while lower curves may offer more flexibility.
Three zipper positions
Petrie dressage boots are available with three zipper positions:
-
Center front zipper – even pressure distribution and easy entry
-
Inside front zipper – sleek appearance and close fit around ankle and calf
-
Back zipper – practical entry with a traditional look
The best option depends on fit, usage and personal preference.
Standard or custom made?
Standard series boots suit many riders. For non-standard measurements or differences between left and right legs, Petrie CYB custom made boots provide additional flexibility. Expert advice ensures the right choice.
