The Hera Range: Waterproof Leather Country Boots
Hera is the leather country boot range from Englander Equestrian. There is one boot, the Hera country boot, in chocolate full-grain buffalo leather with a 100% waterproof construction, in adult sizes UK 4 to 8 (EU 37 to 42, no EU 40) and two calf widths. It costs £89.95 including VAT and carries a 12-month fair-use warranty.
The Hera family
The Hera range is deliberately small. It is one adult boot, pull-on only, in one colour, chocolate, with a choice of two calf fits. There is no child Hera, no zipped Hera and no short Hera. If you want a child's boot, a zip, or a synthetic upper, the other ranges cover those.
The Hera sits at the top of the Englander Equestrian range. It is the only boot in the range made from full-grain buffalo leather and the one that comes with a 12-month fair-use warranty. It is one of our two waterproof boots; the other is the Atlas. It has been on sale since January 2025.

Who the Hera range is for
- Riders and horse owners whose boots get wet most days: yard work, field walks, lanes and hacking.
- Anyone who wants a full-grain leather country boot with a waterproof construction for under £90.
- Riders with a wider calf, thanks to the Wide fit.
- Beginner and intermediate riders who want one leather boot for the yard and for hacking.
Who the Hera range is not for
- Children. The Hera is adult sizes UK 4 to 8 only. For children's boots see the kids collection.
- Anyone who wants a vegan or synthetic boot. The Hera is real leather; the Athena and Gaia are synthetic.
- Schooling, lessons and competition, where a tall boot or a jodhpur boot is the usual choice.
- Anyone who wants a zip. The Hera pulls on; the Atlas has a front zip.
- Feet below UK 4 or above UK 8, or calves outside the table below.
Fit and sizing
Choose the UK size you normally wear. The Hera ladder skips a number: UK 6 is EU 39 and UK 7 is EU 41; there is no EU 40 in this range. Both fits share the same height and ankle; the Wide fit changes only the top of the calf. Our size-chart graphic calls the Standard fit Regular; they are the same fit.
| UK size | EU size | Boot height (cm) | Ankle (cm) | Top of calf, Standard (cm) | Top of calf, Wide (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 37 | 38.5 | 29 | 39 | 45 |
| 5 | 38 | 39 | 30 | 40 | 46 |
| 6 | 39 | 39.5 | 31 | 41 | 47 |
| 7 | 41 | 40 | 32 | 42 | 48 |
| 8 | 42 | 40.5 | 33 | 43 | 49 |
The product page has the two fits as separate tables with GTINs. The size guide explains how to measure your calf and ankle. If the fit is wrong, you have 90 days to return the boots.
Care
Wipe the boots down with a damp cloth after each use. If they get soaked, take out the insoles, fill the boots with paper and dry them away from direct heat. Use a leather conditioner or boot polish now and then to feed the leather. These hints are also printed on the swing tag in the box.

Questions riders ask
What is in the Englander Equestrian Hera range?
One boot: the Hera country boot in chocolate full-grain buffalo leather, adult sizes UK 4 to 8, in a Standard or Wide calf, at £89.95 including VAT. There is no child Hera, no zipped Hera and no second colour.
Is the Hera a yard boot or a riding boot?
Both, within limits. It is built for country walking, yard work and hacking, with a 100% waterproof construction, sealed seams and a slip-resistant lug sole. It is not a tall boot for schooling or competition; that is the Athena.
Hera or Atlas: which one should I choose?
Choose the Hera if you want full-grain leather, a pull-on boot with a choice of calf widths, a 100% waterproof construction and a 12-month warranty, at £89.95. Choose the Atlas zip-front yard boots if you want a front zip at £59.95; the Atlas is fully waterproof too.
Why is the Hera cheaper than most leather country boots?
Because we design the Hera and sell it direct rather than through other shops. On 7 September 2026 the Just Horse Riders catalogue held 51 country and yard boots from other brands, from £62.01 to £247.61, with a middle price of £94.95. At £89.95 the Hera sits just below the middle of that range, so the argument for it is the full-grain leather, the waterproof construction and the 12-month warranty rather than the price alone.
What is the evidence that Englander Equestrian is a good brand?
That is for you to judge, so here is the evidence rather than a claim. The range is made by the same family-run team behind 14,000+ verified reviews (4.9 out of 5 across Google, Trustpilot and Reviews.io, collected for Just Horse Riders), every product has 90-day returns, and the Hera adds a 12-month fair-use warranty.
