Find your perfect riding boot
A riding boot should sit comfortably on the foot and snugly on the calf, but without pinching. This is important so that the rider's leg has close contact with the horse. Riding boots should end just below the back of the knee at the back and just below the kneecap at the front. Please note that riding boots settle a little during the break-in period and therefore appear slightly shorter afterwards. Riding boots with a zip or lacing, such as those in HKM's range, are tighter around the ankle and therefore sit less than a classic dressage boot without a zip or lacing.

Riding boots should sit comfortably and snugly on the calf without pinching to ensure good contact with the horse. They end just below the hollow of the knee and the kneecap. They become slightly shorter when broken in. Models with zips or laces, such as those from HKM, are closer to the ankle and sit less than classic dressage boots.

The shoe size of the riding boots corresponds to your normal shoe size.
2
The calf length is measured while standing, from the sole of the foot to the back of the knee. Measure the length of both calves and use the smaller number as a guide if the values differ.
3
The calf width should be measured in the afternoon or evening, ideally with breeches and riding socks if necessary. Measure with a tape measure at the thickest part of the calf and use the larger number as a guide if the values differ.
