FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather construction provides some water resistance, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in deep water or puddles.
Can I use these for jumping?
Yes, their stable design and grip make them suitable for general riding including jumping, though they are primarily categorized as paddock boots.
How do I choose the right size?
These boots are sized in standard UK adult sizes; it is recommended to select your normal shoe size, leaving enough room for equestrian-style socks.
Are they suitable for heavy barn work?
They are designed for general barn use and riding, but for extremely abrasive or heavy-duty manual labor, a dedicated work boot may be more appropriate.
Do I need to break these boots in?
Like most high-quality leather footwear, a short break-in period may be required for the leather to soften and move with your ankle.
What is the RCS system?
RCS stands for Rider Comfort System, which refers to the specialized, anatomically contoured footbed designed to enhance rider comfort.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks when opening
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove dust and grit; you may apply a small amount of zipper lubricant specifically for boots.
Boots feel tight across the instep
Ensure laces or adjusters are fully loosened if applicable, and consider wearing thinner socks until the leather softens.
Leather looks dull or loses its shine
Clean the boots thoroughly and apply a high-quality leather conditioner or polish to restore the natural finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup and Use:
When first using your new Dublin Altitude boots, ensure the YKK zip is fully opened before sliding your foot in to prevent unnecessary strain on the zipper mechanism. If the fit feels tight, wear them for short periods around the house to allow the leather to gradually conform to the shape of your foot.
Compatibility:
The low-profile design is compatible with most standard English riding stirrups. They are intended for use as paddock boots and pair well with both half chaps and jodhpurs.
Care Instructions:
- Remove heavy dirt or mud after every use using a soft brush or a damp cloth.
- Periodically clean the grained leather with a dedicated leather cleaner to keep the material supple.
- Apply a leather conditioner or cream to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
- Ensure the zipper is kept clean of grit to maintain smooth operation.
- Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to become brittle.
