What customers say

Hear directly from riders who trust Saxon Shoes for their equestrian needs.

I've been recommending Saxon Shoes to my students for over five years, and they consistently exceed expectations. Last season I purchased the Syntovia Tall Field Boots for myself, and they've become my go-to choice for instruction and clinics. The leather quality is exceptional—supple yet durable—and the fit accommodates the all-day wear that my position demands. What impressed me most was how quickly they molded to my foot without the painful break-in period I've experienced with other premium brands. My students often ask where I got my boots after seeing how well they've held up through countless rides and rigorous conditioning work. I've compared them side-by-side with much more expensive European imports, and Saxon delivers comparable quality at a more reasonable value point. I confidently tell anyone serious about riding that Saxon Shoes represents outstanding investment in their equestrian journey.

As someone who competes regularly at recognized shows, I need boots I can absolutely depend on, and Saxon Shoes has never let me down. I purchased the Travel Equestrian Boot Full specifically because I move between three different barns and multiple competitions throughout the season. The protective construction is genuinely robust—they've survived trailer kicks, barn accidents, and rough transport that would have damaged lesser boots. The leather develops a rich patina that actually makes them look better as they age, which is exactly what you want in a competition boot. After every event, I've noticed other riders asking about my boots, and several have made purchases based on my recommendations. The fit remains consistent event after event, and I appreciate that the full-coverage design provides the security and polish expected in the hunter ring. I've invested considerable money in my riding career, and Saxon Shoes represents exactly the kind of quality decision that makes that investment worthwhile.

For dressage training, boot appearance and fit are absolutely critical, and I've found Saxon Shoes delivers on both fronts without compromise. I own three pairs now—two in black and one in brown—because different situations call for different styles, and Saxon makes each option beautifully. The Syntovia Lace Paddock Boots are my everyday choice for schooling because the adjustable lace system accommodates the subtle changes in my leg throughout the day as I work with different horses. The leather polishes to a stunning finish, which matters when you're teaching students and demonstrating correct technique and presentation. What sets Saxon apart is consistency—after years of purchasing from various brands, I finally found a company that maintains the same high standards across their entire line. The craftsmanship is evident in details like the stitching quality, the precision of the heel attachment, and how the leather wraps around the foot. I've recommended Saxon Shoes to fellow trainers in my region, and everyone who's tried them agrees they represent exceptional value in professional equestrian footwear.

Frequently asked questions

Get answers to common questions about Saxon Shoes boots, care, and fit.

What makes Saxon Shoes boots different from other equestrian brands?
Saxon Shoes distinguishes itself through a combination of heritage craftsmanship and modern engineering specifically designed for rider comfort and performance. Each boot is constructed using premium leather selected for durability and aesthetic appeal, while the design process incorporates decades of feedback from competitive and recreational riders. The brand focuses on anatomically sound construction that supports the foot and leg during riding, reducing fatigue during extended sessions. Saxon boots are engineered to maintain their shape and appearance through years of regular use, making them a trusted investment for serious equestrians who demand both style and substance in their footwear.
How should I care for my Saxon Shoes boots?
Proper maintenance extends the life of your Saxon Shoes boots significantly and keeps them looking polished and professional. After each ride, remove surface dust and dirt with a soft brush or cloth, paying special attention to seams and creases where dirt accumulates. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner formulated specifically for equestrian boots, applying it with a soft cloth in circular motions and buffing dry. Condition the leather regularly with quality leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking, especially during dry seasons or after heavy use. Store your boots in a cool, dry location away from direct heat sources, and consider using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper to help maintain their shape between wears.
Are Saxon Shoes boots suitable for both English and Western riding?
Saxon Shoes primarily specializes in English riding disciplines, with their boot collection designed specifically for hunter, jumper, dressage, and eventing applications. The classic tall-boot aesthetic and refined construction reflect English riding traditions and requirements. While some riders might adapt Saxon paddock boots for casual use across multiple disciplines, the brand's core expertise and design philosophy centers on English equestrian needs. If you participate in Western disciplines, you may want to explore brands specifically engineered for Western riding styles, though Saxon Shoes paddock options could work for recreational farm use or cross-training.
What is the typical lifespan of Saxon Shoes boots?
With proper care and maintenance, Saxon Shoes boots typically provide many years of reliable service, with many riders enjoying five to ten years or more from a single pair. The lifespan depends significantly on frequency of use, riding discipline, storage conditions, and maintenance practices. Competitive riders using boots regularly may see shorter lifespan due to intensive wear, while recreational riders often extend boot life considerably. The quality construction means that even well-used boots can often be re-soled or repaired by experienced boot repair specialists, further extending their service life. Investing in proper care—cleaning, conditioning, and protective storage—consistently adds years to Saxon Shoes boot longevity compared to boots that receive minimal maintenance.
How do I know what size Saxon Shoes boots to order?
Saxon Shoes boots are designed with careful attention to fit, but sizing can be individual based on foot shape, riding sock thickness, and personal preference for snugness. The brand typically follows standard English riding boot sizing, with detailed size charts available to help you select appropriately. It's advisable to measure your foot length and calf circumference carefully, comparing these measurements to the specific Saxon Shoes sizing guide for the boot model you're considering. Many experienced riders recommend trying boots on in person when possible, or ordering from retailers with generous return policies to ensure proper fit. Factors like thicker winter riding socks, orthotic inserts, or custom needs may require sizing adjustments, so don't hesitate to contact customer service for guidance on your specific situation.
Are Saxon Shoes boots waterproof or water-resistant?
Saxon Shoes boots are crafted from quality leather that provides natural water resistance when properly maintained and conditioned, though they are not inherently waterproof in the strictest sense. Regular application of leather conditioner maintains the hide's natural properties and helps shed light rain and splashes. For riders facing wet conditions regularly, applying a quality waterproofing treatment designed for leather equestrian boots can significantly enhance water resistance. Most riders find that Saxon Shoes boots handle typical riding environments well—the durable construction sheds water better than many alternatives when properly cared for. However, extended exposure to heavy rain or muddy conditions will eventually saturate even quality leather, so appropriate storage and conditioning remain important for riders in very wet climates.
