Find the perfect combo.
It is becoming more popular to wear chunky boots for riding. Whether you are an Endurance rider or trail rider, we are finding that more riders are now looking to wear a chunkier boot than the traditional jodphur boots. Many riders regularly ask which riding chaps will fit over a chunky riding boots. Just Chaps can offer several options that work with this popular footwear, giving riders lots of choice with colour, style and size. Here’s what we offer:
Our design is perfect
We design our Half Chaps with a lot of careful consideration. Both the overall shape and functionality of each section, especially the area around the ankle, is designed with particular care. The ankle area needs to accommodate various styles of boot. To this end, we introduced a “concertina panel” behind the zip and at the “toe” of the chaps to make extra room for such boots as the Ariat Telluride or Kentucky. The combination of concertina panels, and use of neoprene allows a great flexibility of fit. You can read more about how Just Chaps became the specialist in the field, here.
