Spur Straps & Accessories – Secure Hold for Your Spurs
A good spur strap keeps your spurs exactly where they belong: securely on your boot and not slipping around in the arena. Here you'll find models made of leather and synthetic materials in many colors, along with matching boot spur protectors and everything else that matters for your spurs.
Leather or Synthetic Spur Straps – Which Suits You?
Do you like it classic and durable? Then a leather spur strap is for you. Genuine leather lies smoothly against the boot shaft, looks great in the arena, and only gets better with time. Prefer something easy-care and weather-resistant? Synthetic straps dry quickly, are easy to wipe clean, and don't make a fuss even in the mud.
For a grand entrance, there are models with rhinestone embellishments or in a shiny patent leather look – these will make a small statement when you enter the arena. And the boot spur protector? That protects your valuable riding bootsfrom pressure marks and abrasion from the spur.
What to Look for When Buying
The right length is key. Measure the circumference above the boot shaft and choose a strap with a little room for the buckle. Look for clean fittings made of rust-free stainless steel – these last for years and look good permanently.
Don't have the right spurs and whipsyet? Then check them out and put together your set. You can get spur accessories from premium brands like Sprenger, Waldhausen, or Covalliero – and many more. Are you unsure what fits your spurs? Just ask us in the chat; we'll be happy to advise you.
Frequently Asked Questions – Briefly Explained
What material should my spur strap be made of?
Leather is robust, elegant, and suitable for competitions, while synthetic materials score with easy care and color selection. For everyday use in the mud, synthetic is practical; for the arena, many prefer leather.
How do I attach the strap correctly?
The strap runs over the instep and through the spur eyelets, with the buckle on the outside. It should fit snugly without digging in – that way, nothing slips, and your leg aid comes through cleanly.
Do I really need a boot spur protector?
If you value your boots: yes. The protector prevents pressure marks and keeps the shaft in shape at the spur rest.
Does every strap fit every spur?
Almost. Pay attention to the width of the eyelets – standard is usually around 1.5 cm. Special spurs sometimes require slightly narrower straps.
Whether for a relaxed hack or a big appearance in the show jumping course – with the right spur strap, your aids will be precise, and your boot will look great. Browse our selection and find the strap that suits you and your horse.
