Frequently Asked Questions
Why do riding boots need a heel?
A defined heel stops your foot from sliding through the stirrup, which is one of the main causes of being dragged in a fall.
What's the difference between paddock boots and tall boots?
Paddock boots are ankle height for schooling and barn work, often worn with half chaps. Tall boots and field boots reach just below the knee for showing and give a closer feel through the leg; field boots add laces at the ankle for flex.
How do I size tall boots?
Measure seated: from the floor to the back of the knee for height, and around the widest part of the calf. Tall boots drop slightly as they break in, so a snug fit at the top is normal. Exchanges ship free if the size is off.
Can I ride in cowboy boots?
For Western riding, yes; they're built for it. For English stirrups, a riding boot with a lower, defined heel and a smooth sole is safer.
Riding boots are the one piece of rider gear that serves both a safety function and a comfort function — and getting the right pair means every ride is better from the first step into the stirrup. Whether you are looking for a tall field boot for the show ring, a practical paddock boot for barn work, or a Western riding boot for the trail, fit and heel height are the non-negotiables.
How to Choose the Right Riding Boot
- Heel height first: Minimum 1 inch. No exceptions for any boot used for riding.
- Match to discipline and formality: Paddock boots for everyday schooling and barn work; tall field boots for English showing; Western riding boots for trail and arena work.
- Measure both the foot and the calf: Tall boot sizing requires both measurements — foot size alone is not enough to get the right fit in a tall boot.
- Account for break-in: Quality leather boots require a break-in period. Plan ahead before important events — never debut new tall boots at a show without wearing them first.
