WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

WE DON'T SHIP AIR

In our effort to be as environmentally conscious as possible, packaging and transport are important factors, and we refuse to ship air.

By that, we mean that all our shipments are as compact as possible. Typically, when manufacturers export boots, only six pairs fit in each box. However, our boots are shipped rolled, both from the factory and to you as the customer. This allows us to fit three times as many pairs of boots in each box.

This convenient way of rolling the boots also means you can store them rolled up when you’re on the go, eliminating the need for bulky boot bags.

AN INVESTMENT THAT LASTS

It's likely that manufacturers haven't considered alternative materials or have been unable to produce them. Old traditions and the mindset of \"it's always been this way\" may also play a role.\n\nThe stable environment is challenging in many ways, and it's something we cannot change. There will always be ammonia in a horse's urine, and mucking stalls is a constant task.

Bridles are a perfect example where we WANT the leather to break if the horse steps on the reins or gets caught in the cheekpiece. However, with riding boots, we DO NOT want them to break or dry out due to being in an environment for which the material isn't designed.\n\nThere's a reason why older men often put galoshes over their expensive leather shoes when it rains. We don't mean to suggest that men are smarter than women; rather, it is widely known outside the equestrian world that leather and moisture do not mix well.\n"}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"A riding boot is a significant investment and should last a long time.

The boots are ground down into granules in southern Sweden.
