What riders say about field boots
Riders tell us they moved to these brands for the way they wear, and several name Ariat as the boot they left behind.
I had Ariats for years but I was becoming less impressed with the quality. I've just checked my emails and it looks like I bought my first Shires pair in September 2023, they have been abused and are still trooping on and on. P.S I don't wear them in proper mud (I use wellies too) but they've certainly coped with coming across muddy patches out walking or in fields in non-winter months after a bit of rain
When I wore through two pairs of Ariats in less than 18 months each, I admit I didn't take white glove care of them, but I did clean and polish them. To be fair, I bought them as "everyday boots," though. When I replaced them with a pair of Tuffriders, yes, the Tuffriders are a bit uglier, but I haven't really taken very good care of them at all, and they are going strong after three years.
Second Tredstep - they are well made and blissfully comfy! Ariats are good but always seem to crack over my toes - Tredsteps just don't seem to do that.
Mountain Horse Women's Sovereign Field Boot
I, for one, can’t wait to wear them at my first show next month, and when my current every day pair of boots wears out, there is no question that I will invest in another pair of Mountain Horse Sovereign Field Boots.
The Field Boot Edit
Field boots keep your ankle moving and your leg quiet
A field boot trades the stiff front of a dress boot for laces and flex, which is why jumpers and everyday riders wear it. The five sections below cover lacing, height, calf fit, materials and care.
Field vs dress
Field boots vs dress boots: the lacing is the difference
A field boot differs from a dress boot by the laces across the instep, and the Mountain Horse Women's Sovereign Field Boot shows the style plainly: nine sets of eyelets with fixed elastic lacing, a full-length zipper up the back and, per Mountain Horse, Prolaze-Flexnotch technology for a more comfortable heels-down position. That lacing gives the ankle room to flex in jumping position, which the smooth front of a dress boot does not.
Riding mostly dressage and want the tall, stiff line of a show boot? A dress boot is the better buy. For jumping, eventing and everyday schooling, the Ovation Women's Flex Sport Field Boot is the laced alternative from Ovation: premium cowhide with a flex pattern at the ankle, a stretch panel at the back zipper and twin side spur rests, and Ovation makes a Kids' Flex Sport for the next rider in the barn.

Height
How tall a field boot should be, and how it settles
Tredstep sorts its field boots by height, so a leg measurement picks the boot: the Sirani, Medici II and Donatello III each come in short, regular and tall. Sit with the knee bent, measure from the floor to the crease behind the knee and hold that number against Tredstep's chart.
New leather stands taller than it will wear, because a field boot drops as the ankle softens with use, so allow for that when you are between heights. Horze's Rover Field Boots and Women's Verona Tall Field Boots are the laced, taller option for riders who want height and lacing together. Look elsewhere than a stiff leather boot if you have no time to break it in before a show.

Calf and zip
Calf width and zip: getting a field boot that closes
A field boot fits your calf when the zip closes without a fight, and the LeMieux Women's Field Riding Boots are one laced option to measure for: premium leather, an elastic calf gusset and a full back zipper. Record your calf at its widest point, seated, and compare it with the brand's chart before choosing a size. The Boot fit filters on this page narrow field boots by calf width and height, so the boot is built for your leg instead of stretched to it.
Equinavia's Karolina and Karina field boots are made in three calf widths, a useful check if the first width you try is tight or loose. The Mountain Horse Sovereign's product note says some customers find the foot runs a bit large and suggests sizing down in the foot, not in calf width or height. A calf that zips only with effort is a reason to move up a width.

Leather or synthetic
Leather or synthetic for a first pair or a growing kid
TuffRider Women's Starter Back Zip Field Boots in Synthetic Leather are a straightforward first pair, and synthetic is the sensible material for a first pair or a growing kid: a back zip with snap closure, a laced front, a water resistant surface and a memory foam foot bed. The Kids' Starter Back Zip Field Boots bring the same build to a growing rider.
Leather boots such as the Shires Moretta Women's Gianna Leather Field Boots have leather uppers with stretch panels and break in to the leg, and leather can be conditioned for years. If the boot will be outgrown in a season, a wipe-clean synthetic is the better fit for a child, or for a rider who wants no conditioning routine.

Boot care
Back zip and boot care that keeps field boots going
A back zip lasts longest when it is closed fully every time, and the Mountain Horse Women's Sovereign Field Boot is built for that habit: fasten the snap zipper keeper at the top, and use the protective heel cover with its snap to safeguard the zipper. Brush grit out of the teeth so it does not grind into the zipper pull.
Wipe mud off after each ride, let the boot dry away from direct heat and condition leather so it stays supple where the ankle flexes. Leather boots like the Equinavia Women's Karolina Leather Field Boots reward that routine, while a synthetic boot like the Women's Karina Synthetic Field Boots needs only a damp cloth. Both come with reusable air-filled boot shapers to hold the shaft upright between rides.

Questions riders ask
Field Boots FAQ
What is the difference between a field boot and a dress boot?
A field boot has laces across the instep, which lets the ankle flex deeper into jumping position. A dress boot has a smooth, stiffer front with no laces and is built for a long, straight leg in the dressage ring. Pick by the work you do most, then check the size chart.
How tall should a field boot be?
Sit with your knee bent and measure from the floor to the crease behind the knee, then check that number against the brand's height chart. Stiff leather settles as it breaks in, so a new boot stands slightly taller than it wears. Measure again before you order.
How do I know a field boot will fit my calf?
Measure the widest part of your calf and compare it with the brand's chart, then use the Boot fit filters on this page to narrow by calf width and height. If the zip closes only with a fight, move up a width instead of stretching. Start with the filters.
Should a first pair or a child's pair be leather or synthetic?
Leather molds to the leg and can be conditioned for years, so it suits a rider who will keep the boot. Synthetic wipes clean and suits a child whose feet and calves are still changing. Match the material to how long the boot will stay on the rider, then browse the shelves.
How do I keep a back zip working?
Close the zip fully and fasten any zipper keeper at the top after every ride, and brush grit from the teeth. Wipe mud off the boot and let it dry away from direct heat. Check the zipper pull and keeper each week and keep them clean.
