FAQs
How do I measure for tall boots?
Wear riding socks. Measure: foot length, calf at widest point (usually 6-8" below knee), calf height from floor. Some brands let you mix-match foot + calf sizes.
Field vs dress vs hunting?
Field boot: laced ankle, hunter/jumper. Dress boot: stiff, formal, dressage. Hunting boot: tall, often with brown band at top, fox hunting.
