This is my 5th pair of shoes from Essen. I’ve had my eye on these boots for over a year. So glad I finally committed. The curved fit around the calf is just perfect. They are quite a thick/stiff leather, so take some wearing in. I went down a size as the description suggest and they fit well.

I have searched extensively for beautifully designed tall boots that embody all the aesthetics of a Riding Boot without feeling like you just came from a dressage event! The search ended when I discovered these stunning boots. I love that Essen is collaborating with partners whose skills and craftsmanship are time honoured and legendary. The leather is gorgeous – these boots are very high quality and I’ll no doubt reach for them as a staple in my wardrobe again and again. Extremely comfortable from first wear, I’m finding excuses to purchase The Riding Boot in Chocolate brown - Highly recommended.

I absolutely love these boots and wear them multiple times a week. They’ve shown resilience and the sole is very sturdy. Size does run slightly bigger but with thick socks in winter, they’re very comfortable.
The calf/shin part of the boot is also an nice ratio to the shoe size. The ankle area does bunch a little but I love that it gives a relaxed look.
Thanks Essen for also accommodating larger shoe sizes!
