Itching to get outdoors and indulge in the last of the British summer time? That makes two of us! Grab your favourite Spanish riding boots and get fired up for some fun outdoor activities - riding, hiking, cycling, hunting, wandering aimlessly through fields and forests… whatever you fancy doing, you’ll need all the right gear and equipment to stay safe, comfortable and looking the part of a true countryside alliance.
Because our speciality is the glorious handcrafted Spanish riding boot - all the way from Valverde del Camino - we’re focusing on outfit building for a sunny day of riding! So what sort of thing should you be considering during peak heat times? Don’t make the mistake of thinking you can get away with shorts and a vest top - you still need to be protected! It’s much better to opt for long sleeved tops and pants that are made of breathable fabrics, so that you can be shaded from the sun but still maintain a consistently cool body temperature.
The same goes for your footwear; you can’t ride in flip flops and it’ll be a struggle in sandals - you still need to be equipped with proper riding boots, for comfort and durability. Our leather riding boots have all the necessary features your feet desire for an easy seasonal transition, as well as looking gorgeous!
WHAT TO WEAR FOR A SUMMER RIDE
The Spanish Riding Boot Classic Fit in Brown Leather
Because black is a more absorbent colour, for the warmer months you want to be choosing lighter colours such as brown or tan. That way the leather is dark enough to not show scratches and dirt as much, but the fabric will absorb less heat, keepi ng your toes wiggling happily.

They’re water resistant and these beauties are actually unisex! So you and your partner could even get matching ones for your romantic strolls!
