Crafted in Italy, these boots feature a 100% calfskin exterior that offers unparalleled elegance and flexibility.

Inside the boot, a microfiber leather patch made from non-woven fabric and high-performance polyurethane (PU) resins provides exceptional grip and resilience.

The Essence Collection combines functionality with refined design. Tested rigorously by our top-sponsored riders over 18 months and countless rides, the boots have proven their durability with only natural signs of wear.

STEP 1 – THINGS YOU’LL NEED

– Breeches

– Riding Socks

– Measuring Tape (in CM)

– Parlanti Size Charts (See Product Images)

STEP 2 – FIND YOUR SHOE SIZE

All Parlanti Tall Boot shoe sizes are measured using European sizing (EU). If you do not know what your shoe size is in EU, then you will need to convert your size from your current shoe measurement system to EU. You can convert US shoe sizes to EU sizes using our US/EU Shoe Sizing Chart (see product images). Parlanti tall boots run true to size and you should not have to account for any differences in shoe sizes to match Parlanti’s fitting. Once you have successfully found your EU shoe size, find this number on the Parlanti Tall Boot Size Chart.

STEP 3 – FIND YOUR CALF WIDTH

Once you have found your European Shoe Size, you will need to find your calf width (in centimeters). You need to do this measurement with your breeches and riding socks on. Start by taking a tape measure (in centimeters) and measure the WIDEST PART of BOTH of your calves. If both of your calves have different measurements, use the larger measurement of the two calves. Make sure that you measure in centimeters! Do not measure in inches and try to convert the measurement! (Trust us on this one). Circle the corresponding set of calf widths on the right‑hand side of the column on the chart. TIP: If you are in‑between calf sizes, go larger. Boots that are too tight around the calf could put your zippers at risk!

STEP 4 – FIND YOUR CALF HEIGHT

After you have found your calf width, you will need to find your calf height measurement. This is where having another person help you measure would be beneficial. Essentially you are measuring the distance from the bottom of your heel to the crease in the back of your knee (in centimeters). Be sure that the leg is slightly bent and that you are in socks. This measurement should be taken from the back, and not from the front or sides. Once you have your measurement, add 1.5 CM to this number to account for drop.
