Full details
The Dublin Altitude Zip Paddock Boots are designed for adult riders who require a reliable balance of comfort, durability, and convenience in their equestrian footwear. These leather boots feature a specialized RCS PU footbed and a high-arch design that supports the foot during long periods in the stirrup, making them an excellent choice for daily stable work and riding. Note that while they offer a premium grained finish and robust construction, proper leather care is essential to maintain the integrity of the material against the harsh conditions of a stable environment.

FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
These boots are made of quality leather, which offers natural water resistance; however, they are not classified as waterproof and should be treated with a leather protector to improve performance in wet conditions.
Can I wear these for daily yard work?
Yes, these are designed for durability; however, cleaning the leather thoroughly after contact with manure or acidic fluids is necessary to prevent premature material decay.
How should I clean the grained leather finish?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt, followed by a damp cloth and leather-specific cleaning soap. Always dry away from direct heat.
What does the RCS footbed do?
The Rider Comfort System (RCS) footbed is designed to provide arch support and heel cushioning to reduce foot fatigue while riding or walking.
Do these boots run true to size?
The boots generally follow standard UK adult sizing, but it is recommended to wear them with your regular riding socks to ensure a proper fit during your trial.
Is the YKK zip replaceable?
While the YKK zip is a high-quality industry standard, repairs should be handled by a professional cobbler to maintain the structure of the boot.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove accumulated stable debris and apply a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
Foot fatigue during long rides
Ensure the boots are correctly laced (if applicable) or tightened to prevent internal foot movement, and consider adding an additional arch support insert if the standard fit feels loose.
Leather appearing dry or scuffed
Clean with a leather soap and apply a generous layer of leather cream or balm to restore moisture to the grained finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Dublin Altitude boots, begin by checking the fit with your preferred riding socks to ensure the arch support aligns with your foot. While the YKK zip is durable, it is recommended to keep the track clear of grit and dirt to prevent jamming.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe off surface dirt with a damp cloth after every use.
- Apply a high-quality leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- If the boots become saturated, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the leather to stiffen.
