Kids Footwear
Kids riding boots have a small, defined heel that stops a child's foot slipping through the stirrup, which makes them safer than school shoes or sneakers for riding. This range covers jodhpur boots, tall riding boots and western roper boots in child and youth sizes.

Which Boot for Which Rider?
Most children start in short boots and move to tall boots as they compete more.
- Jodhpur boots are ankle height, easy to pull on and the usual choice for lessons and pony club.
- Tall boots cover the calf and are worn for competition by older riders.
- Western ropers have a low heel and suit western riding and yard wear.
Pair jodhpur boots with half chaps from riding chaps for extra grip and leg protection.
Why a Heel Matters
A riding boot heel stops the foot sliding forward through the stirrup, which can trap a child's foot in a fall. Smooth soles let the foot release more easily. Avoid sneakers and chunky hiking boots for riding.
Sizing for Growing Feet
Leave a little room at the toe for growth, but not so much that the foot slides in the boot. Try boots on with the socks your child rides in. Adult sizes are in ankle boots and tall boots.
Completing a Kids Riding Kit
Add kids jodhpurs and breeches and a certified helmet from riding helmets. Western boots for adults are in western boots.

Frequently Asked Questions
What boots should a child wear for riding lessons?
A pair of jodhpur boots with a small heel and smooth sole is the usual choice for lessons and pony club. The heel stops the foot slipping through the stirrup. Add half chaps for grip and comfort. Avoid sneakers and hiking boots, which can catch in the stirrup.
How much room should kids riding boots have?
Allow roughly a thumb width at the toe for growth, with the heel staying in place when your child walks. Too much room lets the foot slide, which is uncomfortable and less safe. Check the fit with riding socks on, and recheck every few months as feet grow.
When should a child move to tall boots?
Most children move to tall boots when they start competing more seriously or their discipline requires them, often in their teens. Tall boots need a good calf fit and can be costly for growing riders, so many families use jodhpur boots and half chaps until growth slows.
