Ordering riding boots is not always an easy process and therefore you are always welcome to contact us in the store for advice and guidance regarding models, options and measurements. 

If you would like to come to the store for ordering measurments and testing, it is always best to book an appointment. Otherwise there is a risk that the person who can do the test is not on site and then we might not be able to help you with the advice you need. Riding boots are fun but there are many details to keep in mind and not everyone in the staff has had the chance to learn everything.

Buying your boots online works great to. If you would like to order your boots online it can feel safe to know that we always contact you to double check that everything is correct, before ordering your boots from the supplier and manufacturer.

Under Size Guide, you will find the size chart and measurement template for each boot so that you easily can see what size you shold have on your riding boots. 

The riding boot size guide only states which foot size, height measurements and width at the widest point of the calf cold fit, but there are a few other measurements that are of real interest. The measurement just below your knees is also important to find out because a standard boot is between 1.5-2 narrower there than at the widest point of the calf. If you have verry narrow legs or a leg that is not very curvy the measurement under the knee can be about the same as at the widest point of the calf, and if so it will be a problem to close the boot. If you have a curvy calf, it can instead be a little big above the widest point of the calf because the boot can not be made to narrow up bellow the knee, as the risk is instead that the arch of the riding boot cuts into the thigh.

If you order a riding boot that is very narrow in the ankle, the lower measurements are also important to keep track of. Jumping boots, for example, have an opening at the back, because it would not be possible to get the foot in if you had the zipper in the front or on the side, the hole for the foot is simply not large enough.

If you have a high arch, it is also a bit limiting in which model of riding boots that suits you. All this and a little more is involved in the choice of riding boots and model.

When it comes to height, the different boot manufacturers have different ways os measuring and specifying their hight. 
- Cavallo measures and indicates the measurement from the middle of the kneecap down to the floor on the outside of the heel (usually about 2 cm higher than the knee crease measurement. The arch of cavallo's dressage boots is 8 cm from the height of the knee crease.
- DeNiro indicates the measurement from the knee crease to the floor. DeNiro's arch is 8 cm on dressage boots 6 cm on jumping boots.
- Königs indicates the height based on the height of the arch. Some boots have a 7 cm frame as standard, but Dressage DeLuxe and Dressage Pro have an 8 cm frame. Most models have a 2 cm lower inside than the measurement in the knee crease, except for Palermo and Dressage Pro which have the same. König's measurement tables states the shaft height of the arch and the inside as well as the width on the lower shaft inside, and otherwise it is a measurement table with the height and width of the arch.
