Asked what the most comfortable equestrian boots , many do not hesitate to answer – sneakers. Soft, lightweight … Yes, sneakers – athletic shoes, that’s just not for all sports, it is suitable. Why do many people travel on horseback is a shoe? Conveniently, you say? And you remember that there is much more comfortable shoes? Slippers called! It turns out that the shoes are comfortable to be only spurs with bare heels fall off.
These Equestrian boots – so-called sham. High Material is not going to “accordion” and keeps the shape. It happens that the outer part of the equestrian boot is slightly higher than the internal. Everything depends on the model, and if the boots are sewn to order, then the willingness of the customer. Different companies give the top of the equestrian boots different forms, here already the taste and color, as they say … In general, leather equestrian boots are expensive: from two hundred dollars and up … say terrible. On average – 250-350 dollars. Take, for example, a child of such an expensive shoe does not make sense. Kids grow fast, foot size increases, and competition for children often do not require professional equipment. And adults for their daily work may well be expensive equestrian boots on the time to put in the closet and get cheaper – special rubber (cast) or leatherette. The last touch as plastic, but looks almost like leather, have the same shape and look very effective. They are hollow and hold shape.
Of course, in synthetic materials sweats leg, but can not say that there is nothing better than leather equestrian boots. It is necessary to slush slosh out of the stables in the arena, and are rubber boots are simply irreplaceable. They also twice as cheaper than leather.

When selecting an equestrian boot should pay attention to the heel. In some models, the heel is high, in others – is low. If you have a heel long and straight, with a low heel boots at the site of fracture will dig in the leg. Make sure when fitting must move your foot in all directions to make sure that the model fit.
The foot should not hang in the shoe. Boots should be kept very tight, which is why they are difficult to wear. To facilitate the task in his boots came up with the side loops. But they are not in all models, and the choice to pay attention to their existence. There are models in which the loops at the top, and those where the loops are sewn in the middle of the tops. From the middle of the boot easier to pull than from the top, but when the loops in the middle, you need special hooks. So do not forget to buy them too.
The structure of the feet of all people differently. Calf may be more or less, shorter or longer. And it happens that the eggs are much more ankles. To easily get in equestrian boots, need a model with a wide-shafted, but then the leg will “hang”. In such cases, the ideal model with a zipper on the back or with lacing in the front, allowing more tightly boots sit on the leg. Of course, the classic boot is more practical, but if the leg does not allow in the “classics”, that is no choice…
Another very important point. Do not buy equestrian shoes without trying, as would be ideal in the eyes they do not fit. Even when someone buys equestrian boots, say, a gift, having removed the measure, too, likely mistakes. The fact is that in different models of the leg behaves differently.
When fitting the equestrian boot to move your foot in it; Lift the toe, lower heel, bend your leg at the knee, check to see if pressured too much new equestrian boots. If you feel uncomfortable in this position the legs, then the data equestrian boots do not suit you. Of course, the skin tends to become comfortable, but until that happens, the legs are already very polished.
Take a look inside the boot. Tasmania ears should be sewn inside, under the lining, and lining herself (thin leather or cloth, from the slippery fabrics) – glued tightly to the most shoes and should not “walk”. Ideally, to equestrian boot was inside slippery. Then it will be easier to get in / get out.
Do not buy equestrian boots size in size. Let them in the foot will be slightly larger. Not counting on wool socks, but because the leg is always away from the heel to the cape. In the equestrian boot should be a little extra space, otherwise your fingers will bring and they will get sick.
Nails in the sole of the equestrian boot must be special cobblers. The best – the old version, wooden, because they are expanding with the skin from moisture and very well kept sole, which is all normal equestrian boots should be leather. For example, lined with rubber. If the sole of rubber or plastic – it is worse, the foot will sweat. And yet, at the base should not wider than most boots, nor should it be thick, corrugated.
