Riding Long Boot Leather with Zip by First Rider

The First Rider Riding Long Boot Leather with Zip is tailored from high-quality leather to deliver durability, style and performance for equestrian use. Featuring a full-length side zip for easy on/off access and a streamlined shaft that accommodates boots, half-chaps or spurs, these boots combine practicality with elegance. The single zip design ensures a close-leg fit that supports the rider’s lower leg position, while the leather construction offers the traditional look favoured in both schooling and show settings. With a subtle heel and sole design optimised for stirrup stability, the boot works well across disciplines from flatwork and jumping to general stable rides.

Usage

• Target Species: Horses (for rider’s footwear)

• Application: Worn by the rider while mounted, these boots provide secure, supportive coverage of the lower leg and ankle during riding sessions.

• Method:

  • Step into the boot and align the foot properly.

  • Zip the boot up the full side fastener until the top sits comfortably below the knee; use a zip guard so the zipper does not pinch.

  • If required, adjust the stirrup length and position to match the boot heel height.

  • After the session, unzip, remove the boots, wipe them down to clean off dust or sweat, and condition leather periodically to maintain suppleness.

• Frequency:

  • Suitable for daily riding, school sessions and regular stable work.

  • For best maintenance, clean after each ride and apply leather conditioner at least weekly to extend the life of the boots.

Features and Benefits

• Full-length zip closure: Makes putting on and removing the boots faster and easier compared to lace-back or buckle variants.

• Quality leather construction: Offers durability, classic equestrian appearance and a snug supportive fit for the lower leg.
