These are the different types of riding boots
Riding bootsare distinguished by very different criteria such as materials and, above all, by their intended use. Because it makes a difference whether you are looking for riding apparelfor a competition or want to wear your riding boots during a leisurely ride through nature. Below you will find a small overview of the essential types of riding boots.
Dressage Boots
These riding bootshave a very high shaft that is stiffened on the outside. Inside, the material is thinner so that the rider maintains good contact with the horse. Overall, the dressage bootsare cut very straight and give the team of horse and rider a particularly elegant touch, emphasizing the long, stretched leg. We carry noble dressage bootsfrom brands such as:
- Cavallo- Riding Boots Primus Pro
- Ariat- Riding Boots Palisade
- Mountain Horse - Riding Boots Souvereign Lux
Chaps
Chapswere originally developed as work boots, which were intended to provide special protection against branches and thorns, especially in rough terrain. They are not a boot in the classic sense, but rather leg protection, which is usually attached to the sole with a strap and combined with ankle boots. In our shop, we have many different types of chaps, such as elegant chapswith a dressage arch from the brand Sergio Grasso, which can be perfectly worn during competitions as an alternative to boots. You can also find classic leather chapsfrom:
- DY'ON - Leather Chaps Exel Comfort
- Suedwind Equestrian - Chaps Grand Prix Pro
- Busse - Calf Chaps Soft
Jumping Boots
Of course, in addition to a large selection of dressage riding boots, we also have the right alternative for show jumping. For the show jumper, special flexibility in the ankle is important. For this reason, jumping bootsare often made of softer leather to offer more comfort in this area. Some jumping bootshave additional lacing on the instep. This offers even more elasticity and comfort. A raised arch on the outer edge of the riding bootis omitted here. Our bestsellers:
- Cavallo- Riding Boots Linus Jump

Kids Fun Glitter from Suedwind Equestrian offers a great alternative here. It is made of synthetic leather and is therefore less sensitive.
