When I embarked on my journey into the equestrian world, I quickly realized that acquiring the right gear was essential. After purchasing my helmet, my next step was investing in a pair of riding boots. No longer satisfied with the generic rubber boots provided by riding schools, I sought out a pair that not only fulfilled their practical purpose but also reflected my style and enthusiasm for the sport.
Navigating through the endless options available in tack shops and online was overwhelming. While black riding boots are a timeless choice, I was drawn to something with a bit more flair and individuality. Despite initially leaning towards classic brown boots, I ultimately opted for black to align with the traditional English riding aesthetic, saving my exploration of brown boots for a later stage in my equestrian journey.
My search led me to discover the perfect pair of boots: sleek, all-black with glossy croc embellishments. The moment I saw them, I knew they were the ideal combination of functionality and style and not to mention they matched my helmet!
I chose a UK size 7, which is one size larger than my usual shoe size, and my calf size measured as a size 0. This ensured that the boots fit comfortably and provided the support I needed for numerous rides in the future.
In embracing the process of acquiring my first pair of riding boots, I not only completed my rider gear but also embarked on a symbolic rite of passage into the world of equestrianism!
