FAQs
Are these spurs suitable for beginners?
While durable and secure, spurs should generally be used by riders who have an independent leg position to ensure cues remain consistent and kind.
Can I use these on any type of riding boot?
Yes, the flexible nylon design is compatible with most standard English riding boots.
Is the red color prone to fading?
The nylon is high-quality and color-fast, though like any equestrian equipment, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight may eventually dull the finish.
Are these spurs legal for competition?
In most cases, yes, but always check the specific rulebook for your discipline (e.g., FEI or local federation) regarding the allowed length and style of spurs.
How do I store these when not in use?
Store them in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight, ideally inside a boot bag or gear locker.
Troubleshooting
Spur feels loose on the boot
Ensure the spur is pushed fully back against the heel groove of your riding boot and verify that your spur straps are tightened securely.
Accumulation of dirt in the ribbed design
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild soapy water to gently scrub the inner ribbed surface, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent grip due to the ribbed inner design
- Soft touch coating enhances rider comfort
- Lightweight and durable nylon material
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Provides a stable, secure fit on most riding boots
Cons
- Red color may not match all tack sets
- Nylon coating can wear down over many years compared to solid steel
- Limited to one specific aesthetic finish
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, slide the spurs onto your riding boots until they sit firmly against the heel bed. The nylon material provides a slight flex, allowing it to contour to the shape of various boot brands and styles. For maintenance, simply wipe the spurs down with a damp cloth after every ride to remove sweat, dirt, or dust. If the spurs become muddy, they can be rinsed under cold water and dried with a soft towel. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents or abrasive brushes, as these may damage the soft-touch nylon coating. Always check the spurs before each use to ensure the coating remains intact and that there are no cracks in the nylon casing.
