Ordering custom polo boots for the first time can feel like a leap of faith. You are investing in a pair of boots you cannot try on in a store, built to measurements you have taken yourself, by artisans you may never meet in person. It is natural to have questions. This guide walks you through exactly what to expect when you order custom made polo boots, from the first click to the moment you pull them on for your first ride.
Why Custom Polo Boots Exist
Off the rack polo boots are manufactured to fit a statistical average. But no rider is average. Your calf circumference, foot width, arch height, and instep dimensions are unique to you. A made to order polo boot accounts for every one of these variables, delivering a fit that eliminates pressure points, prevents blisters, and provides the instinctive stirrup control that standard sizing simply cannot achieve.
This is why serious polo players overwhelmingly choose custom polo boots over ready made alternatives. The upfront investment pays for itself in comfort, performance, and longevity.
The Ordering Process Step by Step
Step 1: Choose Your Boot Model
Start by selecting the boot that matches your riding level and discipline. At Polo Renoir, we offer models ranging from the lightweight Sprint for training to the Falcon for professional competition. Not sure which is right for you? Our boot comparison guide breaks down every model side by side.
Step 2: Place Your Order
Select your preferred colour (black or brown), add to cart, and complete checkout. At this point you are securing your place in our production queue. Payment is processed securely, and you will receive an immediate order confirmation email.
Step 3: Receive Your Measurement Guide
Shortly after ordering, you will receive a detailed measurement guide. This guide explains exactly how to measure your foot length, foot width, calf circumference, instep height, and desired boot height. We recommend measuring in the late afternoon when your feet are at their largest, and wearing the same thickness of socks you plan to ride in.
Step 4: Submit Your Measurements
Send your measurements to our team. A dedicated Polo Renoir sizing representative reviews every dimension before production begins. If anything looks unusual or needs clarification, they will reach out to you directly. This extra step is what separates a truly custom polo boot from a boot that is simply offered in multiple sizes.
Step 5: Your Boots Are Handcrafted
Once your measurements are confirmed, your boots enter production. Skilled artisans cut, stitch, and assemble your boots by hand from premium, sustainably sourced full grain cow leather. This process takes time because quality cannot be rushed. Each pair undergoes rigorous quality inspection before shipping.
Step 6: Delivery
Your custom made polo boots are delivered to your door with free worldwide shipping. Most orders arrive within 3 to 4 weeks of measurement confirmation. Express shipping options are available at checkout for faster delivery.
Step 7: The Fit
When your boots arrive, try them on immediately. A bespoke boot should feel snug but comfortable from the first wear. The leather will soften and mould to your leg over the first few weeks of use, creating an even more personalised fit over time.
Common Questions About Custom Polo Boots
How accurate do my measurements need to be?
Very accurate. We recommend measuring twice and using a flexible tape measure (the kind used for sewing). Even a half centimetre difference in calf circumference can affect the fit. This is why we assign a sizing representative to review your numbers before production starts.
What if my two feet are different sizes?
This is extremely common, and it is one of the biggest advantages of custom boots. We accommodate different measurements for left and right feet, ensuring both boots fit perfectly. Off the rack boots force your smaller foot to swim in a boot sized for the larger one.
Can I request modifications?
Yes. If you have specific requirements such as a wider calf, a higher or lower boot shaft, or any other adjustment, communicate this when submitting your measurements. Our artisans can accommodate most custom requests.
How do custom polo boots compare in price to off the rack?
Custom boots typically cost more upfront, but the per year cost is almost always lower because they last significantly longer and never need the break in accessories or insole modifications that ill fitting boots require. Polo Renoir custom polo boots start at $450, which is competitive with many off the rack brands that offer far less in terms of fit and construction quality.
