The Bespoke Riding Boots

I am so sorry to anyone who clicked to view the latest from the world of Celtic Sheepskin yesterday, because I didn’t get a blog post up in time. My excuse? We’re busy, busy, busy! Meetings, phone calls etc etc. But I am still very sorry.

So, getting something interesting to read up quickly, and I thought I’d dedicate today’s blog to our Bespoke Riding Boots that have just been launched on our website this week – and the opinions on Facebook make an interesting read in themselves! The price has thrown a great many of you, and we can completely understand why. At £695 they don’t tick the impulse purchase box. So why SO expensive? It all boils down to that first word in their name… bespoke.
If you click onto their product page on our website, you’ll see that we take 5 measurements from you when crafting the pair individually for you. Yes, that’s right, they definitely aren’t off the peg! Five measurements plus of course your usual shoe size – but as there’s nothing bespoke about giving your shoe size I’m sure you can understand why that measurement isn’t discussed CLICK HERE to view this page

And what about the comfort/fit factor I hear you cry. It’s all very well having a pair made especially for you, but what will they feel like? Well, lets start with the technical response;

• They have the highest-grade waterproof nubuck leather. In other words they’re going to last a long time, and your tootsies won’t get wet.
  


• They have anti-slip weatherproof soles, which have been tried and tested for the stable.
  Leather laces. This means they stay done up! Hooray!
  


• Sheepskin lined foot. Quite a unique feature, wouldn’t you say?
  


• Supplied with boot tree. They’re of genuine quality after all, so I’m sure you would want to look after them.
  


• Stirrup balance system; this is the best bit! The basic principle is that the flattest part of the boot (on the ball of your foot) is balanced not only so you can walk correctly in them, but also that you can put your feet in the stirrup at a right angle without your heel pushing up. Ultimately the boot allows you to have more control over your horse. That’s pretty impressive!

Of course the technical info is great to read about, and for some it will hopefully give justification to the price. However the ultimate test will be when you’re wearing your bespoke pair of boots, and we can think of no reason why once you have them on your feet, you will never want to take them off ever again. Go on, treat yourself!
