Children's Riding Boots, Paddock Boots & Chaps
Children's riding boots must primarily do one thing: fit securely and provide a good feeling when your child gets into the saddle. Whether your child is just conquering the stable aisle or has already completed their first lunge lesson – here you'll find boots, paddock boots, and chaps that fit, last, and are fun.
Why the right children's riding boots are so important
Every hold counts when riding. A firm heel prevents the foot from slipping through the stirrup – that's safety in practice. And children's feet are sensitive.
A good fit and a non-slip sole ensure that your child feels completely comfortable in the saddle and while grooming. Are you still looking for suitable protective gear? Then also check out our Children's Helmets and Safety Vests.
Boots, Paddock Boots or Chaps – what suits your child?
Riding boots with a high shaft provide support for the leg and protect against chafing. Paddock boots are more flexible and ideal for beginners – combined with mini-chaps, they even replace classic boots.
Riding chaps protect the calf and can be worn great with paddock boots. This way, the equipment simply grows with your child. Practical: Many models are weatherproof, meaning they are water-repellent for rain and mud in the riding arena.
Leather or Synthetic? Brands that grow with you
Whether robust leather or easy-care synthetic – both have their appeal. Leather is breathable and durable, synthetic is often cheaper and clean again in no time.
Here you will find children's riding boots from brands like E.L.T, Waldhausen or Suedwind Equestrian – and many more. Especially because small feet grow quickly, a fair price-performance ratio is worthwhile. You'll find the matching Children's Riding Breechesright next door.
Frequently Asked Questions about Children's Riding Boots
When does my child need proper riding boots?
As soon as your child rides regularly, sturdy riding boots or paddock boots with a heel are worthwhile. For the first lessons, paddock boots with chaps are often sufficient.
How do I find the right size?
It's best to measure the foot in the evening when it's slightly swollen, and allow some room for growing feet. Also pay attention to calf width and shaft height.
Leather or synthetic – which is better?
Leather is breathable and molds to the foot, synthetic is easy to care for and weatherproof. For wet weather, water-repellent models are worth their weight in gold.
Are riding boots with zippers useful?
For children, often yes: they can get in and out by themselves, which makes daily stable life noticeably more relaxed.
In short: With the right equipment, nothing stands in the way of safe and happy riding lessons. Browse through our selection at your leisure – you're guaranteed to find your children's riding boots, paddock boots, and chaps here.
