Premium Selected Leather
The defining quality of the Sovereign LUX is the leather itself. The boot is crafted from a supple, premium selected leather that is astonishingly soft from the first wear, eliminating the extended breaking-in period associated with many leather riding boots. The impressed croco top detail adds a distinctive, tactile finish to the upper section of the boot, setting the LUX apart from the standard Sovereign while maintaining the same elegant, classic profile.
The figure-hugging construction is designed to contour closely to the shape of the leg, providing the close contact feel that dressage and competition riders look for in a premium long boot.
ShockX Advanced Insole and Steel Shank
The Sovereign LUX uses the same comfort technology as the Sovereign High Rider Boot. The ShockX Advanced insole is ergonomically shaped to provide cushioning and support throughout the foot, reducing fatigue through long days competing or schooling. The integrated tempered steel shank provides structural stability underfoot during both riding and walking, maintaining the correct position of the foot and providing the support that a full day in the saddle demands.
YKK Zipper and Hidden Elastic
The Sovereign LUX fastens with a resilient YKK zipper at the back, with hidden elastic running along the inside of the shaft for a comfortable, customised fit that accommodates different calf shapes without compromising the clean line of the upper. The hidden elastic allows the boot to move with the leg rather than restricting it, contributing to the overall comfort and close-contact feel of the boot.
Sovereign LUX vs Sovereign High Rider
Both the Sovereign LUX and the Sovereign High Rider Boot share the same core Mountain Horse comfort technologies: the ShockX Advanced insole, the integrated steel shank and the YKK zipper with hidden elastic shaft. The LUX differentiates itself through the quality and softness of the leather, the impressed croco top detail, and the overall level of refinement in the finish. Riders choosing between the two models will find the LUX offers a noticeably softer, more figure-hugging fit from new, making it the choice for those who want the ultimate in leather quality within the Mountain Horse range.
Fit and Sizing
The Sovereign LUX is available in EU foot sizes across a range of shaft width and height options. Refer to the Mountain Horse sizing guide and measure both foot length and calf circumference before ordering to ensure the correct combination. Inflatable boot trees are included in the box to help maintain the shape of the boot between wears.
