Yard boots - the right footwear
Every one of us who rides, owns horses, works with them or otherwise comes into contact with horses and their care knows that good footwear is absolutely essential in the stable. Mucking out, fetching horses from the pasture, repairing fences - it doesn't take long to cover a few kilometres. You're smart to invest in good stable shoes, also called yard boots or paddock boots, that can cope with all this and are also comfortable so that your feet don't hurt at the end of the day.
For every situation
Of course, there's no such thing as the perfect all-in-one shoe. Would you rather have ankle boots that allow you to ride with matching half chaps as well as mucking out? Or would you prefer robust safety shoes with a protective steel toe cap and waterproofing? Our range offers you a wide variety of stable shoes from different brands and with different features.
Some models, for example the chic jodhpur boots from Dublin or Ariat, are just as suitable for an elegant stroll through the city, while others are real workhorses and feel right at home in the dirt. The winter models are also softly lined, so you are guaranteed not to get cold feet in winter.
Especially if you’re doing a lot of stable work – for example because you own your own stable or have DIY liverly, good yard boots can be a live saver. Your feet will be protected from the dirt, especially with waterproof shoes, and even when you’re operating machinery, carrying heavy things or working with young or spooky horses, a paddock boot with a steel toe will ensure that your feet are staying safe and sound. In some countries or specific cases, it might even be mandatory to wear good shoes with safety measures like a steel toe.
It's important to clean and care for your stable shoes regularly, as urine, manure and other acids can wear away the shoes' stitching or on the outside materials, like leather.
