TRICOLORE RIDING BOOTS ITALO PRO DAILY PLUS BLACK
How to measure your leg
Calf circumference — at the widest point, about 4–6 cm below the knee. Measure standing, in the breeches and socks you ride in.
Height — from the floor (wearing the boot, standing on the heel) up to the bend behind the knee. Measure standing, tape vertical along the back of the leg.
Take both measurements on your larger leg — tall boots are fitted to that one.
The lists above hold every shaft measurement from the manufacturer size chart for that shoe size — pick the values closest to your own. The note "available to order" means we do not keep that version in stock; select it and we will show you how to order it.

How to choose the right size riding boots? Riding comfort and safety are two fundamental aspects of riding boots. We invite you to read the text below to help you choose the right size.

Step 1.
When starting your measurement, remember to consider your clothing. The best choice is riding trousers and socks. These measurements will allow for a very precise fit of the riding boots to the rider. Begin your measurement by assuming the correct posture. You have two options: sit down and position your leg at a 90-degree angle, or stand with your leg slightly bent. It's best to check the measurements with two people – the assistant should measure the leg from the floor to the bend of the knee. It's important to remember that riding boots must fully protect the rider's leg – so height is crucial!

Step 2.
The calf circumference measurement will also be taken in the same position as the first measurement. Sit down or bend your knee and place the measuring tape around the widest part of your calf. Remember that the leg can change its circumference as it works. It's best to record your measurements in the evenings over several days. This will allow for a reliable fit of the riding boots. The purpose of riding boots is to provide full protection for the leg.

Step 3.
This is the final step. Now that you have your calf height and width, you can refer to the SIZE CHART. Locate your foot size, then adjust the height and width. and add the item to your cart. Congratulations on your selection! You'll soon be the owner of new riding boots!
If you still have any doubts, don't be afraid to ask a specialist! Both online and in-store, specialized staff will answer any questions and help you find the right shoe size.
How to measure your leg?
Three measurements, a few minutes and a tailor’s tape. That’s how you choose tall boots that fit from your very first ride.
e.g. 38 (EU)Foot size
Stand on a sheet of paper, mark your heel and your longest toe, then measure the distance between the marks. Give the size you’re truly comfortable in — not one “to grow into”.
e.g. 35 cmCalf width
Wrap the tape around your calf at its widest point, 4–6 cm below the knee, while standing. The tape should just touch your sock — don’t pull it tight.
e.g. 44.5 cmCalf height
Stand up straight and bend your knees slightly — just like in the saddle. This is the position you ride in, so the measurement will be the most accurate. Measure from the floor up, along the back of your leg, to the bend behind your knee.
A Tricolore size combines three values. Enter your measurements in the size finder and we’ll work out the rest for you.
Find your sizeTall riding boots — frequently asked questions
Short and to the point: what tall riding boots are, how they should fit, and how to choose between tall boots, paddock boots and half chaps.
What are tall riding boots?
Tall riding boots have a shaft that reaches just below the knee. They protect the calf from rubbing against the stirrup leathers, stabilise the ankle and give steady, even contact with the horse’s side. They are usually made of genuine leather and are required at competitions in most disciplines.
How high should tall riding boots reach?
The shaft should end just below the bend of the knee so it doesn’t restrict leg movement. New leather boots may press slightly under the knee at first — that’s normal: the leather shapes to your leg over time and the shaft drops by about 1–2 cm. Dressage boots, with a stiffer shaft, drop less.
What is the difference between tall boots and paddock boots?
Paddock boots are short, ankle-high boots, usually with elastic panels or a zip, worn on their own or with half chaps or gaiters. Tall boots have a full, high shaft. Paddock boots are more comfortable for everyday riding and stable work; tall boots give better contact with the horse and are the standard at competitions.
Which is better: half chaps or tall boots?
It depends on how you ride. Paddock boots with half chaps or gaiters are versatile and easier to look after — good for training and hacking out. Tall boots give a better feel of the horse and a smart look, and are usually required at competitions. You’ll find a detailed comparison in our guide Half chaps, gaiters and tall boots – pros and cons.
Dressage or jumping boots — what’s the difference?
Dressage boots usually have a higher, stiffer shaft with a straighter line that stabilises the leg and works well when riding with a long stirrup. Jumping boots, on the other hand, are usually slightly lower and more flexible, and are often laced at the instep. This gives the ankle more freedom, which matters especially with a shorter stirrup and when riding in a light seat.
The zip is also different. In dressage boots it is often on the side of the shaft, while in jumping boots it is usually at the back. Jumping boots also more often have an elastic insert by the zip, which improves the fit to the calf and gives a few extra centimetres of room. In classic dressage boots this solution is used less often.
How do I choose the right boot size?
A tall boot size is defined by three measurements: foot size (EU), calf width and shaft height. To choose the right model, measure your calf at its widest point while standing relaxed, and then the height from the floor to the bend behind your knee.
On every model’s page you’ll find a size chart and a handy guide that make it easier to match the closest available variant to your measurements.
After you buy tall boots in our shop, an advisor will contact you to double-check the chosen size and make sure it’s right for you. We show the whole measuring and sizing process step by step in the guide above.
Are women’s and men’s tall boots different?
Many tall boot models are unisex — the right fit depends mainly on your leg measurements, not on gender. Men’s boots usually come in larger foot sizes and in versions with a wider shaft. When choosing, go by three key parameters: foot size, calf width and shaft height.
In our shop we also offer personalised riding boots. It’s a solution for riders who want a more individual model that matches their own style. If you’re interested in personalisation, contact our advisors — they’ll gladly present the available options and help you choose the right configuration.
