FAQs

What makes the AXIS Pro technology unique?

AXIS Pro technology provides dynamic, full-foot support and responsive pressure relief, adapting to your foot's movements and reducing fatigue, especially during riding.

How does Shock Shield technology benefit the rider?

Shock Shield technology is integrated into the heel to diffuse impact forces, absorb shock, and help minimize fatigue, making long rides more comfortable.

Can I replace the insoles with my own?

Yes, the boots come with removable Precision Response insoles, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles.

Are these boots suitable for all types of riding?

Yes, these paddock boots are designed for versatility and are suitable for various equestrian disciplines including show jumping, dressage, and general training, offering both performance and comfort.

How often should I condition the leather?

It is recommended to condition the full-grain leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the boots are exposed to harsh weather conditions or heavy use.

What is the benefit of the Duratread outsole?

The Duratread outsole is specifically designed and tested by riders to provide optimal traction in various conditions, ensuring stability and security in and out of the stirrups.

Do these boots require a significant break-in period?

While made from premium leather, the advanced technologies aim to provide comfort from the start. However, like most quality leather footwear, a short break-in period may enhance overall comfort.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zipper track is free of debris. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or beeswax to the teeth of the YKK zipper and gently work it back and forth.

Boots feel too tight after a few hours

This might indicate a break-in period is needed. Try wearing them for shorter durations initially. Ensure socks are of appropriate thickness. If persistent, consider removing the insoles for slightly more volume.

Leather appears dry or cracked

This indicates a need for conditioning. Clean the boots thoroughly, then apply a generous amount of leather conditioner. Allow it to soak in, then buff off any excess.

Traction on the sole feels reduced

Clean the Duratread outsole with a stiff brush to remove mud or debris that might be interfering with the traction zones. Ensure the sole is completely dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the YKK zipper is fully engaged and the boots fit snugly but comfortably. The removable insoles can be taken out for cleaning or if custom orthotics are preferred.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for equestrian use, these boots are compatible with most stirrup types. They are suitable for adult male riders.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the full-grain leather exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn grime, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for full-grain leather.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Allow the conditioner to penetrate before buffing.
  3. Drying: If the boots become wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and damage. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
