DALLAS, Apr 5, 2011/ FW/ — For the serious equestrian, wearing the perfect riding boots is equivalent to finding the perfect kitten heels to a fashionista – comfortable, functional, easy-to-wear and great to look at.

  • Premium leather construction comprised of European calf leather, stretch mesh, oiled leather inner calf (for optimal grip) and leather lining, creates a superior fit.

 

  • Durable and ergonomic Duratread™ sole delivers maximum wear resistance.

Spur guard provides protection and comfort across the back of the heel while the spur cradle offers center lock-in and diverse spur height options.

“We have created a line of boots like no other; we have directly addressed the intense appetite from equestrian athletes for a contemporary boot that will bring them to their peak performance. The phenomenal fit and cutting-edge technology make these boots and half chaps ideal for all day use, either in the saddle or around the barn.”
