Our journey bringing Spanish Riding Boots to the UK...

After a hot summer working at a stable yard in the Algarve, Portugal. I took many a tourist out riding in the beautiful hills of Bensafrim, during these rides I received numerous compliments for a pair of Spanish Riding Boots I had purchased locally. I lived in these boots for the duration of my summer they did me so proud as does every pair of Spanish leather boots I have owned!

This enthusiasm prompted me to make a small detour, driving through the Algarve out past Faro into Southern Spain towards Seville - final destination Valverde del Camino. Although I encountered a slight communication issue as I didn’t speak Spanish and no English on their part, I managed to collect contact details – fax and telephone in those days. All these years later we still use the same factory, although we have progressed to email!

I bought a few pairs of these beautiful country boots and made a solo drive in an aged Fiesta across Spain, France and via the tunnel back to the UK. Whereby The Spanish Boot Company was founded as one of the original importers of this generic, now iconic Spanish Riding Boot. Made particularly famous by a now royal Duchess of Cambridge but at the time Kate Middleton.

Emma
Founder

In March 2023 Emma decided to take a different path and in stepped Michael and Gemma who wanted to continue with the fantastic brand Emma had created all those years ago. In keeping with the values and originality of The Spanish Boot Company they have stepped in to rejuvenate the brand and concentrate on the core elements of the Classic Riding Boot.

We are a small independent family run business established in 2002, authentic to the core our boots are all handcrafted in a family run business based in Southern Spain, an area renowned for producing exceptional leather footwear. Materials are exceptional as well as outstanding manufacturing processes – the goodyear welted sole a true reflection of this – giving durability and a sustainable conscience. The integral natural cork layer gives a breathable footbed to aid ergonomic and anatomical support.
