Country Boots

About

Country boots are the tall, waterproof boots that live by the back door — built for the yard, dog walks, winter turnout duties and casual riding. Most are waterproof leather with warm linings and grippy soles, with lace-top (field) styles for an adjustable fit and wide-calf options for comfort over jeans. Just Horse Riders stocks them from brands including Dublin, Brogini, Rhinegold, Shires and our own Englander Equestrian , from around £54.

In a hurry? For everyday yard-and-walking use, choose a waterproof leather country boot in your normal shoe size — and check the calf measurement if you'll wear them over jeans (wide-leg versions exist). Most have a proper heel, so they double up for casual riding too. Choosing country boots Choice What it means Waterproof leather The classic — warm, weatherproof and smart enough for the pub walk Lace-top / field style Adjustable fit through the ankle and instep Wide-calf versions Room for jeans or a generous calf Mid-calf styles Lighter, easier on and off — great for spring and autumn Can you ride in country boots? Most country boots have a defined heel and a fairly smooth sole, so they're fine for casual hacking — check the individual product if you're unsure. For schooling and competing you'll still want proper tall riding boots or jodhpur boots . Making them last Rinse mud off rather than letting it dry in, let them dry naturally away from direct heat, and feed the leather with a conditioner every few weeks in winter. A yearly re-proof keeps the waterproofing sharp. Country boot favourites Our own brand: Englander Hera Waterproof Leather Country Boots (from £89.95) — standard and wide calf.
