Description
Athletic Precision. Artisan Craft.
The Lesego Salentino is what happens when South African craftsmanship refuses to compromise. Sleek through the ankle. Ultra-contoured through the leg. Packed with technical comfort features that perform from the very first ride — no break-in period, no blisters, no regrets. Built to your exact measurements, in your choice of colour, by hand.
THE RIDING BENEFIT
The Salentino's close-contact ankle profile gives you exceptional feel and cleaner communication with your horse. Elasticated laces across the vamp create a flexible, secure instep fit that moves with your foot through every transition. The full-length rear YKK-grade zipper delivers unrestricted ankle flex and a fit that stays secure through thousands of ride cycles.
THE COMFORT BENEFIT
5mm memory foam insoles wrapped in soft napa leather — whole-day cushioning that doesn't compress flat. Your feet will thank you at hour six. The 2mm supple full-grain leather upper moulds to your leg over time without losing structure, creating a fit that no off-the-shelf boot can replicate.
THE CRAFTSMANSHIP STORY
Every Lesego Salentino is cut and stitched by hand in our South African workshop, to your exact calf circumference, foot length, and instep height. Naturally tempered full-grain soft leather. Breathable napa lining. Rubber outsoles grip-rated for stirrup and ground use in all conditions. No two pairs are the same — because no two riders are the same.
THE DURABILITY PROMISE
Built to last thousands of ride cycles and years of competition. With our in-house repair and restoration service, the Salentino is a boot you'll ride in for a decade. This is precision engineering with a handmade soul.
