The Petrie Athene CYB in full-grain cowhide is a traditional polo-style riding boot with a front zipper running along the shin. This makes it an excellent training and competition boot: the zipper stays away from the saddle and the boot is easy to close.
The cowhide shaft provides extra stability, while the lower heel counter reduces pressure on the rider’s ankle. The result is a comfortable balance of support and freedom of movement for riders who spend many hours in the saddle.
The Athene CYB cowhide version is cut slim around the ankle and shaft, allowing the boot to sit close to the leg without feeling restrictive. The front zipper keeps the outer side of the boot quiet against the saddle, improving both rider comfort and boot longevity. The polo-style design suits riders with slimmer legs who prefer a classic, athletic look.
A key feature of the Athene is its lower heel counter compared to a traditional dressage boot. This reduces pressure on the ankle and makes the boot highly suitable as an intensive training boot. At the same time, the shaft offers enough support to keep the leg steady in dressage or polo-inspired work.
The outer boot is made from high-quality, smooth cowhide that is durable and holds its shape well – ideal for everyday training. The inside is fully lined with calfskin, providing extra comfort, improved grip on the inside of the leg and a pleasant break-in period.
Through the Customize Your Boot (CYB) program, the cowhide Athene can be tailored to your exact preferences. You can choose from four base colors (black, brown, cognac, navy), different buckle styles (gold, silver, with or without Swarovski crystals) and optional contrast details. The result is a boot that matches your riding style both technically and visually.
The Petrie Athene CYB in cowhide is designed as a versatile polo and training boot, but is also frequently used in the show ring. Thanks to the combination of stability, comfort and classic styling, it is an excellent choice for riders who train regularly and want a boot that offers reliable support without feeling overly stiff.
