FAQ Néo boots

The selection is based solely on shoe size. There is no need to choose a shaft height, calf width, or ankle width. The stretchy knit construction allows the shaft to conform to the shape of the leg, and the rotary tightening system then lets you adjust the fit.

The Neo Boot’s adjustable design makes it suitable for the vast majority of body types. In particular, it offers ample room to accommodate wide calves. However, extremely slender body types particularly among some young riders may find that they are at the limit of the product’s adjustment range.

The Neo Boot retains the fundamental principles developed with the Teknit Boot: comfort underfoot, stability in the stirrup, and a stretchy knit upper. The upper’s construction has been redesigned to allow the knit more freedom, making it significantly easier to put on, and a new rotary lacing system improves support at the top of the upper. The finishes and areas prone to friction have also been optimized.

Knit fabric makes it possible to create an upper that adapts to different body types while targeting specific areas based on the need for support, flexibility, or durability. Above all, it eliminates the need for the many combinations of upper heights and calf circumferences that are usually required when choosing a boot.

The knit fabric is designed to retain its stretch and support. However, it may develop small pills if it rubs regularly against an abrasive surface. These can be gently removed with a suitable fabric shaver. To minimize friction during transport, we recommend using the bag that comes with the boots.

Once the boot is on, the system at the top of the shaft allows you to gradually and precisely adjust the fit around the leg. The fit remains secure during use.

A very flexible sole provides comfort for the foot but not enough support to effectively brace against a stirrup. The Neo Boot therefore combines a shock-absorbing EVA midsole with a stability arch. This maintains comfort underfoot while providing the rigidity and stability needed when riding.

Yes. Its cushioning and athletic shoe-inspired construction allow you to keep them on while walking, preparing your horse, riding, and going about your day. As with any shoe, more intensive use naturally leads to more wear and tear over time.

Yes. The Neo Boot is designed to be worn in competition and complies with the International Equestrian Federation’s regulations for riding boots.

Yes. The boot features studs that allow you to position the spurs at three different levels to adjust their height to the rider’s preferences.

No, the Neo Boot is not a waterproof boot. The lower part of the boot has a water-repellent treatment, and the upper also features protection suitable for water splashes and rain encountered during normal use at the stable. It is not designed to remain submerged or to be worn while walking through deep water.

For routine care, let the boots dry, then remove dirt with a brush or soft cloth. Avoid hard brushes, abrasive surfaces, or harsh chemicals that could damage the knit fabric.

Yes, occasionally. Place the boots in the bag provided, use a cycle at 30°C maximum, without fabric softener, and spin at 400 rpm maximum. Washing too frequently naturally accelerates material wear, so machine washing should be done only occasionally. Then let the boots air dry.

It protects the knit fabric from friction during transport and can also be used as a laundry bag when machine-washing the boots. It’s important not to leave the boots damp inside the bag after use.

The boots must be clean and dry before being stored. Avoid leaving them damp in a closed bag or in a poorly ventilated area. Regular drying and maintenance directly help extend their lifespan.
