At Battlesbridge Horse and Country, we offer custom riding boot design and fitting in store, giving you the opportunity to create a pair of riding boots designed around your individual measurements, preferences and style.
If you struggle to find an off-the-shelf riding boot that fits perfectly, find yourself between standard sizes or have a particular colour or design in mind to complement your competition outfit, custom-made riding boots could be the perfect option for you.
With a choice of styles, colours, materials and design details, you can create a pair of riding boots that are uniquely yours.
What Are Custom-Made Riding Boots?
Off-the-shelf riding boots are produced in standard sizes and shapes, giving riders a convenient choice of ready-made options. However, standard sizing doesn’t always provide the ideal fit for every rider.
With custom-made riding boots, your feet and legs are measured individually to help create a boot designed specifically around you.
You can also personalise your boots by choosing from the available styles, materials, colours and design details. Whether you are looking for a classic competition boot or something more individual, our custom boot fitting team can guide you through the available options.
What Happens During a Custom Riding Boot Fitting?
Your custom boot journey begins with an appointment in store with a member of our experienced team.
First, we’ll take the necessary measurements of your feet and legs and discuss the fit and style you’re looking for. We’ll then take you through the available options, including different styles, colours, materials and design details.
Our team will be on hand throughout the appointment to help you understand the available choices and create a design that suits your individual requirements.
Once you’ve selected your preferred options and are happy with your final design, we’ll submit the order to the manufacturer so your custom riding boots can go into production.
