Riders with very slim legs often struggle to find riding boots that truly fit.
Many standard riding boots are designed for average leg measurements, leaving too much space around the calf or ankle.
Jumping versus dressage
For jumping riders, lace-up boots are often a practical choice.
They fit closely around the ankle and allow more flexibility.
For dressage riders stability is more important.
The model you choose can influence your riding comfort for many years.
Stability and control
No rider wants a boot where the foot can move inside the shaft.
In the past this was sometimes solved with heel lifts inside the boot.
Today better fitting boots offer a far more comfortable solution.
A well-fitting boot provides:
-
improved stability
-
better leg control
-
a more balanced seat
