The riding boot
Straight, tall and composed
A design in which posture and purpose seem to meet naturally.
The riding boot was developed to protect the lower leg from the saddle, stirrup and undergrowth. Its smooth inner surface prevents chafing, while the firm shaft offers support without completely restricting the knee and ankle.
Beyond equestrian sport, its restrained silhouette became a fashion classic. With a low heel and little decoration, the riding boot looks understated but never anonymous. Its clean line gives it a quietly self-assured elegance.
