Keep Your Boots in Shape: A Closer Look at Premier Equine Boot Trees
If you've ever watched your beautiful, expensive riding boots sag and slump into sad, wrinkled messes, you're not alone. As Aaron from Just Horse Riders puts it, "Have you ever watched your expensive riding boots slowly curl up into a saddle? Wrinkly leather banana? Yep. Me too." Thankfully, there's a simple fix to this all-too-common equestrian woe — Premier Equine Boot Trees.
What Are Premier Equine Boot Trees?
Premier Equine Boot Trees are designed to keep your riding boots upright and free from creases when not in use. These clever accessories use a spring-sprung design that expands with gentle pressure. As the product description explains, "Spring sprung trees expand with gentle pressure to ensure your boots remain upright and crease free."
Why Does This Matter?
Boots are an investment — and they deserve better than becoming a sad pile of crumpled leather. Aaron explains it perfectly: "Leather loves to crease faster than I eat cookies at midnight." Creasing not only ruins the aesthetic but also reduces the lifespan of your riding boots. Using boot trees is a simple, affordable way to protect your gear.
How Do They Work?
The mechanism is simple but effective. Aaron demonstrates in the video, noting that you just "squeeze the top, see how they go close, and then let them loose when they're inside your boot." It’s a fuss-free process. Slide the rounded end into the footbed, and the boot tree does the rest.
Getting Them In and Out is a Breeze
One of the highlights? How easy they are to insert and remove. "Oh, easy as that," Aaron says as he demonstrates the removal — and we love products that don’t fight back!
Why Boot Trees Beat DIY Hacks
Pool Noodles Are Not Your Friends
Many riders attempt a DIY fix using pool noodles — yes, those foamy floaty things from the swimming pool. But Aaron has a warning: "That’s not a good idea." Unlike those homemade supports, Premier Equine Boot Trees actually promote air flow, helping to reduce moisture and prevent mold and mildew. Or as Aaron puts it, "they breathe better than your horse does after seeing a plastic bag blowing in the wind."
Protect Your Investment
You spend a lot on riding boots, so it only makes sense to give them the care they deserve. "Seems only right we should really take care of them," Aaron says — and he’s not wrong.
Suitable for Every Boot Style
Whether you’re sporting tall boots, mid boots, dressage boots, or jumping boots, these boot trees are made to fit. "They fit them all." This versatility makes them a staple for any rider’s tack room.
The Aesthetic Advantage
Keeping your boots upright isn’t just about function — it’s about style. Aaron cheekily compares the result to "Botox for your boots. Minus the weird expressions." Sounds like a win to us.
Easy Storage, Better Care
With your boots neatly upright, you’ll have a tidier tack room and easier access to your gear. And let’s be honest, organizing your space with care starts with essentials like these boot trees.
Bonus: Moisture Management
Leather and moisture don’t mix. These boot trees help keep air flowing inside your boots, reducing sweat buildup and musty smells. That’s a huge plus for daily riders or anyone storing boots for longer periods.
