Riding Boots, Shoes & Chaps

Riding Boots, Jodhpur Boots and Chaps

Choosing the right equestrian footwear is an important part of every rider’s equipment. Riding footwear should provide comfort, stability in the stirrup and allow effective contact between the rider’s leg and the horse.

At Greenfieldshop, you can find riding footwear for beginners, leisure riders and experienced competitors – from elegant tall riding boots and practical jodhpur boots to riding chaps and accessories for protecting and storing your footwear.

Tall Riding Boots

Tall riding boots are a traditional part of equestrian clothing, combining functionality with an elegant appearance. Their tall design protects the rider’s lower leg and provides close and consistent contact with the saddle.

When choosing tall riding boots, it is important to consider not only your shoe size but also the height and circumference of your calf. A correctly fitted riding boot should follow the shape of the leg without creating excessive pressure while providing a secure and comfortable fit.

Our range includes riding boots for women, men and children suitable for everyday training, dressage, show jumping and competition.

Jodhpur and Paddock Boots

Jodhpur boots, also known as paddock boots, are a practical and versatile alternative to tall riding boots. They are popular for everyday training, leisure riding and work around the stable.

Choose from leather and synthetic models featuring zips, laces or elastic side panels. When riding, jodhpur boots are often combined with chaps to protect the lower leg and create a similar feel to tall riding boots.

Riding Chaps

Riding chaps are worn with jodhpur or paddock boots and help protect the rider’s lower leg from rubbing and contact with the saddle.

Well-fitting chaps should closely follow the shape of the calf without restricting movement. When choosing the correct size, consider both the height and circumference of your calf.

Combined with quality jodhpur boots, chaps provide a practical solution for everyday riding and training.

Leather or Synthetic Riding Footwear?

Equestrian footwear is available in both genuine leather and modern synthetic materials.

Leather riding boots and jodhpur boots are popular for their elegant appearance, durability and ability to gradually adapt to the rider’s foot and leg. However, they require regular and appropriate care.

Synthetic materials can be easier to maintain and offer a practical choice for everyday riding and stable use.

How to Choose the Right Tall Riding Boots

When choosing tall riding boots, knowing your usual shoe size is not enough. Two other important measurements are your calf height and calf circumference.

Different brands offer various combinations of foot sizes, calf heights and widths, so we recommend checking the specific manufacturer’s size chart before ordering.

Selected DeNiro models are also available as made-to-measure riding boots, allowing the dimensions and design to be customised more precisely according to the individual rider.

Riding Footwear for Training and Competition

Your choice of riding footwear can also depend on your riding discipline and intended use. Comfortable and durable footwear is practical for everyday training, while competition riding may also require a more elegant appearance and compliance with the rules of the relevant discipline.

Tall leather riding boots are a popular choice for show jumping and dressage, while jodhpur boots combined with chaps provide a flexible option for everyday riding and training.

Riding Boot Bags

Quality riding boots deserve proper protection and storage. Riding boot bags help protect tall boots from dust, dirt and damage during storage and transport.

They are particularly useful when travelling to training sessions, clinics and competitions, allowing you to keep your riding boots protected and separate from the rest of your equestrian equipment.

How to Care for Riding Boots

Proper care can help extend the lifespan of your riding boots and jodhpur boots. After riding, remove mud, dust and other dirt and allow the footwear to dry naturally.

Leather riding boots should be regularly treated with products suitable for the specific type of leather. Tall boots are best stored upright, ideally with boot trees or inserts to help maintain their shape.

Equestrian Footwear for Every Rider

Whether you are looking for elegant tall boots for competition, comfortable jodhpur boots for everyday training or a combination of riding boots and chaps, focus on correct sizing, comfort and intended use.

At Greenfieldshop, you can find riding boots, jodhpur boots and chaps from trusted equestrian brands for leisure and competitive riders.
