Product Information

Full details

The Moretta Leather Gaiters are designed for equestrians seeking the look of tall riding boots with the flexibility and comfort of gaiters. These gaiters offer a close, comfortable fit thanks to their soft grain leather and elastic calf panels. However, it's crucial to select the correct size to ensure optimal performance and comfort. They feature dressage cut tops, full-length zips, elastic foot stirrups, stretch zip tidy straps, and bound edges. Designed to be worn with short riding boots.

FAQs

How do I measure for the correct size?

Use the provided size guide. Measure your calf circumference at its widest point while wearing riding breeches and socks, and measure your leg height from the floor to the back of your knee.

Can I use the gaiters in wet conditions?

Yes, but leather is not waterproof. Consider applying a leather protectant for increased water resistance.

How do I clean the leather?

Wipe down with a damp cloth after each ride to remove dirt and sweat. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner, and follow with a leather conditioner.

What if the zipper breaks?

Contact Moretta or a local leather repair specialist for assistance. Try not to force the zipper as this can cause further damage.

Can I wear these with any type of short boot?

The gaiters are designed to be worn with short riding boots with a defined heel.

How do I store the gaiters?

Store the gaiters in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees to maintain their shape.

What is the warranty on these gaiters?

Please refer to the purchase documentation or contact the retailer for warranty information.

Troubleshooting

Zipper sticks or is difficult to close.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a zipper lubricant. Ensure the gaiter is correctly aligned.

Gaiters feel too tight.

Check the sizing guide to ensure you have the correct size. The leather may need a break-in period to soften and stretch slightly. Consider wearing thinner socks.

Foot stirrups slip.

Make sure the stirrup is correctly positioned and not twisted. Check that your boots have a suitable heel to prevent slippage.

Leather dries out and cracks.

Clean and condition the leather regularly using a leather care product.
