There are two basic types of riding boot - the full length riding boot and ankle boots known as jodhpur boots.

Long riding boots offer protection to the rider's leg and ankles but can be restricting and uncomfortable to wear in hot weather. There are a great variety of long riding boots available in both rubber and leather. Long leather riding boots are expensive and so long rubber riding boots are the most popular choice for most riders.

Jodhpur boots are generally more comfortable to wear than long riding boots but offer no protection to the rider's leg and so they are most often worn with half chaps or gaiters that cover the lower leg.
