The Tucci Sofia combines a timeless tall riding boot design with modern performance and construction. Its clean lines and high Spanish top create the elegant look preferred in the hunter and equitation rings, while its technical construction, secure fit and durability have also made it a favorite among top jumper riders.
Made in Italy from premium Italian calf leather, the Sofia offers an excellent balance between softness and substance. The leather is supple and comfortable while remaining thick enough to hold the shape of the boot and resist overstretching. This durability makes the Sofia especially well suited for professional riders riding multiple horses each day, as well as amateur riders looking for a boot that will withstand years of regular riding.
The Sofia has a close, fitted shape through the foot and ankle for a refined appearance and secure feel. When needed, specific areas of the boot can also be professionally stretched to better accommodate the rider and improve the overall fit.
Modern technical details include a rear elastic panel that adapts to the leg, double stitched stress points, a lightweight technical sole for comfort and grip, and Tucci's reinforced rear zipper with a secure locking closure designed to prevent the zipper from sliding down while riding.
Tucci boots are trusted by riders competing at the highest levels of the sport, including Nick Haness, Shane Sweetnam, Nayel Nassar, Tiffany Foster, Scott Brush and Gregory Wathelet.
Zipper: Align the zipper teeth as straight as possible. Stretch the elastic panel toward the other side so the zipper forms train tracks, not a wide V. Zip slowly, inch by inch, to the top. As the boots stretch, they become easier to zip.
Leather: Wipe boots after every ride. Once dry and clean, apply a thin layer of Tucci Cream or quality conditioner. Avoid oily products, which can over soften and weaken leather.
Storage: Keep boots dry and ventilated. Use boot trees to keep them tall.
