Riding boots are essential for horse riding. Horse Pilot offers men's boots made from 3D mesh, which adapts to the rider's leg. They can be worn for both training and competition.
Completing your equipment with riding boots for men is essential for riders, even beginners. The range of tall boots is as varied as it is for women. Styles are diversifying and technical features are developing, so that every man can find the right boot for him. Horse Pilot has launched a revolutionary boot: the Teknit Boot. The model is available for women first, but men have not been forgotten. Find our riding boots for women.
We are always attentive to your needs as a rider. That's why we took inspiration from technologies used in other sports. We used the best of these to develop high-performance riding boots. The result is the Teknit Boot, which offers the comfort of a sneaker in a boot. This is thanks to its sole, which promotes:
sand evacuation and foot flexion with its studs
rider stability with its polyurethane arch
and cushioning with its EVA midsole.
Today, leather boots come in every color imaginable. But tradition dictates that riding boots should be black or brown. For competitions, find out about the rules before daring to wear a colorful pair. Riding boots for competitions will not all be the same depending on the discipline. Show jumping competitions accept them, but dressage judges still prefer black.
Men can also look stylish in technical boots.
Just like real custom-made riding boots, the stretch knit fabric of the Teknit Boot is custom-knitted. This is practical, as you simply slip the boot on like a sock for a snug fit without any annoying creases.
For dressage or show jumping competitions, there's no need to accumulate multiple pairs of riding boots. One pair of boots with small heels that combines the best in technological quality is all you need.
Reinforcement at the toe to protect your toes from the horse's hooves is a welcome feature. A 3D mesh accordion shape at the ankle provides protection and better support. And non-slip soles for greater stability.
Well-placed grips on the inside of the boot increase contact between the rider and the smooth leather of the saddle, for better connection with the horse.
Thanks to the 3D Knit 4-way stretch fabric, the Teknit Boot stretches both vertically and horizontally. This means that the upper is adjustable and the calf area is stretchy.
What size should you choose? A lace-up or zippered model? Classic leather or elasticated? Finding the right boots can be difficult, as there is such a wide choice of sizes and styles of riding boots.
The technical requirements for riding boots increase with the rider's level of expertise. While a beginner on a tight budget might choose rubber boots, an experienced rider will opt for black leather riding boots that they can wear in competitions.
Thick soles for trail riding, thick leather for dressage, or thin leather to maintain flexibility for show jumping, reinforced at the back for jockeys... Leather boot models are available to suit your discipline.
For classic leather boots, in addition to your shoe size, measure your calf circumference. Generally add 0.5 cm to your largest calf. Then, measure the height of the shaft from the ground to your kneecap. Horse Pilot riding boots are chosen based on size alone. Other measurements are unnecessary.
Caring for riding boots is essential to prolonging their life. When your leather boots are new, soften them with a leather cream or milk.
After riding in the rain, allow your leather boots to dry gently.
Once the boots are dry, a quick brush with a soft brush will remove any mud and dust. If a dry brush is not enough, use a damp brush or sponge. If you ride once a week, cleaning your boots once a month is ideal. If you ride more intensively, clean them every two weeks on average. Teknit Boots can be cleaned in the same way. If necessary, they can also be machine washed.
