Riding Boots

A true symbol of equestrian elegance, riding boots are the essential piece of equipment for any serious rider. More than just gear, they embody the craftsmanship of traditional saddlery and meet the precise demands of riding. OHLALA Sellerie offers a carefully selected range of riding boots for adults and children, suited to every discipline and every budget.

Riding boots: essential criteria for making the right choice

Shaft height and cut: key parameters

A riding boot is defined above all by its tall shaft, which rises to the knee to support the leg in the saddle and provide optimal protection against rubbing. The straight or slightly flared cut behind the knee allows for easy flexion during dressage work or jumping. The shape of the toe — round or slightly tapered — also affects how smoothly the foot enters the stirrup. Depending on the discipline, the shaft may be flexible for show jumping and leisure riding, or stiff for dressage to ensure a perfectly stable leg position.

Leather, synthetic or combined: which material to choose?

Leather riding boots remain the benchmark for their natural fit, durability, and refined look. With regular care, they accompany a rider for many years. Synthetic or rubber boots are appealing for their affordable price, moisture resistance, and easy maintenance — ideal for club riders, young riders still growing, or for everyday use. Models may feature zips, elastic panels, or laces depending on the comfort desired.

Riding boots for every discipline

Dressage, show jumping, endurance: every discipline has its own demands

• Dressage : tall, stiff shaft to enhance leg position.
  
  
• Show jumping : more flexible boots to encourage calf mobility and absorb impact.
  
  
• Trail riding or endurance : lightweight, waterproof, and comfortable models for long rides.
   

The OHLALA Sellerie collection covers all of these uses and also includes winter boots to protect against the cold, as well as paddock boots or versatile everyday boots, practical when worn with half chaps.

Children's boots and adult boots: a complete range

Children's riding boots are designed to adapt to the growth of young riders, with flexible materials and zip fastenings for easy wear. Adult boots offer more options in terms of shaft height, calf width, and finishes. OHLALA Sellerie carries sizes from the smallest pony club rider to tall adults, and guides every customer in choosing the right shoe size, shaft height, and calf circumference through detailed sizing guides.

Quality, durability, and refined finishes

Every pair of riding boots at OHLALA Sellerie is selected for its quality craftsmanship: reinforced stitching, durable soles, and breathable inner lining. The finishes — discreet zip, adjustable buckle, contrasting inserts — reflect the attention to detail characteristic of premium saddlery. Our partner brands (Equithème, Ego7, Ariat, Cavallo, Sergio Grasso, Norton, Pénélope, Horse Pilot) cover every budget and need, from the club rider to the demanding competitor.

Comfort and safety: essential criteria

Comfort comes from the suppleness of the leather, the inner lining, the ergonomic zip, and the non-slip sole designed for stirrups. Boots should mould to the foot without pressure points, even during extended wear.

How to care for your boots to keep them in perfect condition

• Leather : dust off after every ride, condition monthly, and store with boot trees to maintain shape.
  
  
• Synthetic / rubber : damp cloth, avoid direct heat.
  Complementary accessories (care products, storage bags, protectors, and spare laces) help extend the life of your boots.
