Womens Yard Ankle Boots

Most of this collection uses a waterproof WIL-TEX® membrane, including every Quebec, Kentucky, Idaho, Blair, Chatsworth, Ottawa, Rocky, Chicago and Malvern style. If you're mucking out, riding in the rain, or crossing wet paddocks daily, one of these is the safer choice.

The Harley Boots, Buffalo Boots and Bronx Boots are not waterproof – they use breathable linings instead, so they're best kept for drier days, indoor yard work, or as a smarter everyday option.

The whole Quebec range is cut with a wide fit, and the Alaska Storm Boots suit both a standard and wide calf, making them a good option if you have a high instep or find standard boots tight around the ankle. The zip-up Quebec styles are the easiest to get on and off if mobility is a factor.

If you want a boot that works as well in the saddle as it does on the yard, look at the jodhpur styles: Kentucky Storm, Idaho Storm, Blair Storm and Chatsworth Storm. All four have a fully adjustable lace or zip closure so you can fit them snugly around the ankle for stirrup control, and the Idaho adds double side spur rests for riders who need them.

For the wettest, muddiest days, the Quebec Wool Lined Zip-Up, Alaska Storm Boots, Ottawa Storm Short Boots and Rocky Winter Boots combine a waterproof membrane with a natural sheep wool lining, keeping feet both dry and warm through winter.

• Sheep wool linings: Quebec Wool Lined Zip-Up, Alaska Storm, Ottawa Storm and Rocky Winter – warmest option for cold mornings
• X-Comfort memory foam insoles: Quebec range, Kentucky Storm, Blair Storm and Malvern – cushioned support for long days on your feet
• Gel IMPACT insole: Chatsworth Storm – extra shock absorption underfoot
• Cambrella insole: Idaho Storm – moisture-wicking comfort for riding
• Breathable linings only (not waterproof): Harley, Buffalo and Bronx

Yard boots should sit snugly around the heel with a little room to wiggle your toes – enough to wear a thicker sock in winter without pinching. Wide fit styles like the Quebec range suit a higher instep or wider foot, while the adjustable jodhpur boots (Kentucky, Idaho, Blair, Chatsworth) let you fine-tune the fit around the ankle with laces or a zip. If you're between sizes, sizing up slightly is usually safer for all-day comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

No. Most models use a waterproof WIL-TEX® membrane, but the Harley Boots, Buffalo Boots and Bronx Boots are not waterproof and are better suited to drier conditions. Check the Waterproof column in the table above before you buy.

The full Quebec range is cut to a wide fit, and the Alaska Storm Boots suit both a standard and wide calf. The zip-up Quebec styles are the easiest to get on if you have limited ankle mobility.

Both are waterproof adjustable jodhpur boots with a similar lace-up fit and memory foam insole. The Kentucky Storm comes in six colours with a padded full ankle and collar, while the Blair Storm focuses on added breathability with moisture-wicking technology, making it a good choice for year-round wear rather than just winter.

The jodhpur-style boots – Kentucky Storm, Idaho Storm, Blair Storm and Chatsworth Storm – are designed with riding in mind, with adjustable ankle support and, on the Idaho, dedicated spur rests. The Ottawa Storm Short Boots are also marketed as suitable for both riding and yard chores. The remaining styles are better suited to general yard, stable and outdoor use.

Sizes are UK adult sizing. If you're between two sizes, or plan to wear thick socks in winter, we'd recommend sizing up. Adjustable jodhpur styles give you extra room to fine-tune the fit around the ankle with laces or a zip.
