Whether you’re an English rider, Western rider, or someone who’s just looking for a great pair of riding boots, there are plenty of options to choose from.
The most important consideration is finding the right style of boot to fit your needs. You’ll want something that’s purposeful, safe, sturdy, and a good fit.
English Riding Boots
If you’re an equestrian interested in showing or schooling your horse, English Riding Boots are an essential piece of equipment. They help prevent your feet from slipping through stirrup irons while providing the extra support equestrians need in-saddle and on the ground.
English riding boots are available in a variety of styles and designs. These include tall field boots and dress boots.
Western Riding Boots
Western riding boots are designed to keep the foot safe in a stirrup and provide support in different areas of the foot. The amount of support and where it is needed varies from rider to rider.
A good boot should also offer comfort and protection against falls and sprains. This should be a top priority when purchasing a new pair of boots.
Western riding shoes come in a variety of styles, colors, and designs. You can find traditional lacers, work boots, round toe, square toe, and snip toe boots that are sure to match your personal style.
Motorcycle Shoes
Having the right motorcycle shoes or boots can make all the difference in comfort, safety, and confidence on the road. They need to be able to handle the rigors of riding a motorcycle, from extreme weather and road debris to your bike’s hot exhaust pipe.
They should also be comfortable and fit you properly. There’s nothing worse than having a boot that’s too loose or too tight, making it hard to shift gears or get the right footing.
They come in many different styles, but most have one thing in common: they protect your feet while riding a motorcycle. Whether you’re a sport biker, cruiser rider, or a serious off-roader, we have the motorcycle shoes that will suit your needs.
Paddock Boots
Paddock boots, also known as Jodhpur boots, are a short boot that comes just above the ankle. They are worn for pleasure riding and working around the barn.
They are often paired with chaps, to provide leg protection when riding. However, these boots are not appropriate for showing – they do not offer as much leg protection as tall boots.
If you are a beginner rider, or just want to try equestrian clothing before committing to a more expensive pair of breeches, then paddock boots are a great way to go. They are less costly than a pair of tall boots, and can be zipped on or pulled on to suit your needs and the weather.
Endurance Boots
Endurance boots are used by competitive endurance riders and also by anyone who wants a durable, hard-working boot that’s comfortable and secure. Mary’s Tack & Feed carries quality endurance boots and hiking shoes for riding, working around the barn or all day walking through town.
English riding boots come in a wide variety of styles and are intended for different types of riding, from horse shows to pleasure riding. These include tall riding boots, field and dress boots for hunters, equitation riders and jumpers. Shorter paddock boots, which extend to just above the ankle, are used for pleasure riding and saddle seat style riding. They are also worn by children when showing in hunt seat disciplines.
Winter Boots
Whether you’re shoveling out your driveway or running to the store, winter boots can make your life a lot easier. They can also keep you from getting your feet wet if you get caught in a puddle.
If you’re looking for the warmest boot possible, look for boots with insulation like Thinsulate or Primaloft. Shearling, fleece, and neoprene can also help keep your toes toasty.
You can also opt for a more casual style, which don’t have as much insulation but are still designed to handle the elements. Some popular casual options include Blundstone Thermal Chelsea and Sorel Tivoli IV.
