Unanimously and following our "Instagram controls our next 24 hours", you voted for a presentation article on Kentucky boots. Are you ready to discover everything about the protections of this incredible Belgian brand?
It was already important, I think, to explain the different materials offered by Kentucky in order to better understand which model to choose based on your uses:
"Leather": Kentucky does not offer any real leather, but excellent quality synthetic leather, all to respect animal treatment. This "leather" is thus composed of EVA foam and is waterproof, suitable for everyday use and machine washable at 30°C (no tumble dryer). This synthetic leather does not absorb dirt and sweat, making it durable!
Solimbra: Woven material made of EVA foam, waterproof, very breathable, suitable for everyday use and can be machine washed at 30°C (Note, no tumble dryer there either).
Spacer: Designed in 3 layers, breathable EVA foam that absorbs shocks along with a "Quick Dry" nylon fabric, very comfortable against the skin. Ideal for everyday use or for protection in the paddock. The main advantages? Extremely breathable, very significant shock absorption, lightweight material, easy to maintain, distributes pressure.
What are our favorite boots and for what uses?
Going out to the paddock...
3D Spacer Boots Kentucky
79.99 euros
For particularly restless horses in the paddock, good protection is essential; if we say "no foot, no pony", we could also extend this to tendons. Indeed, a burst of joy can quickly happen, and while enjoyable, it can also lead to injury. So it's best to protect our recruit's limbs well and avoid some mishaps. We would choose these 3D Spacer boots, extremely breathable and lightweight but just as shock-absorbing.
The big plus, these two large Velcro straps that hold up well over time and allow for the easiest possible application.
Riding at home...
Air Boots Kentucky
79.99 euros
They seduce us indeed with their simple and effective look, easy to put on and clean. No need to spend hours cleaning them. A quick spray with water or a washing machine will suffice!
Jumping at home...
Black Velcro Gaiters
134.99 euros
Very light yet sturdy, they absorb shocks very well and I love the fact that I can customize their fit thanks to the Velcro straps. Like the Kentucky Air Gaiters, their ease of maintenance is a major advantage for everyday use :)
Training at home and in competitions...

No doubt about it! THE real favorite of our selection. As aesthetic as they are practical, these closed gaiters are for us the ultimate chic <3
Jumping in competitions...

Let those who do not find them irresistible raise their hand... I admit, I completely fall for this chic and elegant model, ideal to complete the competition look.
