De Niro L461

It's DeNiro's listed made-to-measure fee. It pays for your boots to be cut on a one-off pattern built from your twelve measurements (six points on each leg) rather than a standard last — and it's what lets us include the measurement review, photo checks and your Fit Promise at no extra charge.

Only need extra height, not a full custom pattern? Tall and X-Tall are a separate £35 DeNiro option.

The L461 is a jumping boot cut for a rider who lives in close contact. Its Moto-Flex foot — a band of elasticated calfskin — stretches with the ankle so the leather sits tight to the leg without ever gripping, and the plain, unbroken upper keeps the look understated. High-grade calfskin and a natural calfskin lining make it soft against the leg from the first outing.

• High-grade calfskin upper with a natural calfskin lining
• Elasticated Moto-Flex calfskin across the foot for close, flexing comfort
• Protective toe cap, with a guard at the base of the zip
• YKK 9 mm rear zip
• Removable activated-carbon insole
• Full leather sole with a double-stitched Vibram outsole
