First, we recommend riding boots with a low heel and a solid heel. A low heel helps you balance better and a firm heel provides reliable support in the stirrups. A soft leather boot, for example, that sits below the calf for ease of movement and ankle protection.

 

Secondly, riding boots with good anti-slip properties are also essential. The non-slip pattern on the sole increases the friction with the ground and prevents accidental slipping. For example, riding boots with rubber soles can remain stable on slippery ground.

 

In addition, riding boots with good breathability are worth considering. Your feet tend to sweat easily during horseback riding, and breathable riding boots can keep your feet dry and minimize discomfort. For example, riding boots with mesh or with breathable holes.

 

All in all, for beginners, choosing a pair of well-fitting, non-slip, breathable riding boots of the right height will lay a good foundation for your horseback riding journey.
