Soviet boots for riding

Horse Riding

Any of us ever wanted to mount a beautiful strong horse and ride as quick as the wind to illimitable space, far from everydayness, towards the horizon. However making this wish true is impossible without a special outfit that helps to sit on a horse and control the speed and direction of running.

It is interesting that the main requirements and standards, which are observed by modern horse riders, were created several centuries ago. So what is important for a sound horse riding? First of all, high boots for horse riding. Despite the fact that for riding the horse one can use even sport shoes, it is recommended to observe rules of this type of sport, and buy high boots. In horse riding chrome knee-high boots made of thick leather are used very widely.

If a rider wants to look totally gorgeous, he may wear patent leather boots polished to a mirror shine. In general, the need to wear high boots for horse riding is not only due to aesthetics but also due to practical considerations: the foot in the boot is more stable in the stirrup, boots protect the bottom of pants from horse sweat and abrasion.

Soviet calf boots from factories ‘Severohod’ and ‘Skorohod’ proved themselves in military parades of horse guard. These high boots are made of black chrome leather, with soft white or yellow leather inside. The boots do not get wet and have excellent wear resistance. The boots are made using unique high quality technologies, and are sold at an affordable price. The high boots can be used not only for horse riding, but also in everyday life. The number of these boots reduces year by year; nowadays they are not produced due to a very expensive technology which would make them unaffordable for the majority of people.

Our internet store clients have already appreciated ceremonial Russian high boots, during horse riding. For example, our client Michele from USA after buying one pair of Russian chrome boots was so satisfied with their quality that returned and bought another pair, and shortly yet another, larger size pair – for her husband.

It is worth noting that the first class chrome high boots were also produced for horse riding. Sometimes these boots can be found also in our assortment.

So, the boots are on your feet, you have your spurs, whip, and harness with you, and a saddle under you. It is time to go for a horse ride through picturesque places, to breathe deeply and feel yourself united with your beloved horse.
