Jodhpur, Paddock or Short Boot?
The names overlap, but each style has a slightly different use.
- Jodhpur boots are classic pull on or elastic sided boots worn with jodhpurs.
- Zip paddock boots fasten at the front or side and are quick to put on.
- Short riding boots often have a fashion finish and suit riding and wear around town.
Short Boots and Half Chaps
Pairing ankle boots with half chaps from riding chaps gives grip and protects the calf from the stirrup leather. Together they cost less than tall boots and suit daily riding.
For competition, many riders change to tall boots.
Fit and Safety
A riding boot needs a defined heel so the foot cannot slip through the stirrup, and a smooth sole that releases easily. Check that the ankle flexes without the boot digging in.
Children's sizes are in kids footwear.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between jodhpur boots and paddock boots?
The terms are often used for the same ankle height riding boot. Jodhpur boots traditionally pull on with elastic sides and are worn with jodhpurs, while paddock boots often lace or zip. Both have a riding heel and suit lessons, schooling and yard work, and both pair well with half chaps.
Can I compete in ankle boots?
Many pony club and local events allow jodhpur boots, often with jodhpurs or half chaps. Higher level dressage, show jumping and showing usually require tall boots for adults. Rules vary by discipline, level and age, so check the dress rules for your event before entering.
How should short riding boots fit?
The heel should stay in place as you walk, with a little room at the toe. Leather boots will soften and mould to your foot, so a snug fit at first is normal. Try boots on with your riding socks and check that the ankle bends comfortably when you crouch.
