RB Equestrian’s View
We often recommend the DeNiro Salentino to riders looking for something special but still practical enough for regular use. The fit works well for a variety of calf shapes and the quick break-in makes them an excellent choice if you don’t want to struggle with stiff boots. The Ice Bronzo finish is popular with riders who like a touch of personality in their kit: subtle, not flashy.

How to care for your De Niro Riding Boots
Investing in De Niro riding boots means you’re investing in Italian craftsmanship, premium comfort and timeless style. But to keep them performing - and turning heads - for years to come, it’s essential to care for them properly. Whether you’ve gone for a classic black Italo or a custom pair with patent trims and Swarovski sparkle, this guide will help you to keep your De Niros in tip-top condition.
Daily Care: The Simple Routine
Just a few minutes after each ride these simple tasks will go a long way in maintaining the look and longevity of your boots.
After Every Ride:
- wipe down with a damp cloth to remove dust, sweat and arena surface
- dry naturally - never use a radiator or direct heat
- use a boot tree to maintain shape and prevent creasing
Top Tip: use a soft brush (like a face brush!) to gently remove dried-on mud around the soles and zips.
Weekly Care: Condition & Protect
Once a week (or more often during heavy use), treat your boots with a leather balm or cream designed for high-quality leather.
What to use:
- De Niro boot cream – designed to nourish the leather without clogging the pores
- Soft cloth or sponge – always test on a small area first
- Polish (optional) – for extra shine on the foot and toe area
Avoid products with harsh chemicals or solvents -they can strip the colour or damage decorative finishes.
Caring for Special Finishes (Patent, Brushed, Swarovski)
If your boots include decorative trims, patent tops or custom textures, take extra care.
Patent & Brushed Leather:
- use a patent leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth only
- avoid oil-based products that can dull the shine
- don’t use regular polish on decorative panels
Crystals, Piping & Detailing:
- wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth
- avoid rubbing or scrubbing, especially around stitching
- store safely to avoid catching or scratching
Zips, Soles & Storage
- Zip care: always zip slowly and gently; remove grit and dirt to prevent wear. Use a lubricant occasionally if needed.
- Soles: check regularly for wear – especially if riding on abrasive surfaces. Keep dry to avoid cracking or separation.
- Storage: use your boot bag and boot trees when not in use. Avoid damp tack rooms or storing boots in direct sunlight.
De Niro riding boots are more than just footwear - they’re a statement. With a little care and attention, they’ll not only last, but stay looking and feeling incredible every time you ride.
