OUR MATERIALS & SUSTAINABILITY

WHAT WE'RE MADE OF, AND WHY IT MATTERS

At celeris, craftsmanship and integrity go hand in hand. From our very first pair to the thousands we've made since, one thing has never changed: we don't cut corners. It starts with our materials and runs through everything we do.

THE LEATHER

We only use full-grain luxury leathers from Europe's finest tanneries, the same suppliers trusted by leading designer houses. Our hides are pigment-dyed with minimal chemicals and chosen for their natural grain, texture and strength.

We don't want leather that looks like plastic. We want character, structure and longevity. That's what allows your boots to mould to your leg, hold their shape and last.

WHY NOT VEGAN LEATHER?

We've tried them all, from PU to pineapple, and none perform like real leather. They don't stretch or mould to your leg, they can't be resoled and most contain plastics such as PVC. They crack, wear out quickly and are much harder to recycle, so they usually end up in landfill.

Real leather is a by-product of the food industry. We give it a second life in something made to last. That's true sustainability.

THE CRAFT

Every pair is handmade by skilled artisans in our Portuguese workshop. No machines doing the work and no factory production lines.

Because every custom pair is made to order, there is:

No mass production
No stock sizing
No wasted overstock

Each custom boot is made for a rider, not a shelf. That means less waste and boots that won't end up in landfill a year later.

HARDWARE & DETAILS

Every component is chosen to last:

YKK zips built for pressure and everyday use
Galvanised metal hardware
Water-resistant suedes
Certified Swarovski® crystals with full traceability
Soles that are pressure-locked and stitched, never just glued, using a method we designed ourselves

We could cut costs here. We choose not to.

SUSTAINABLE BY NATURE, NOT BY TREND

We're not following a trend. We're simply doing things properly. Our boots are:

Built to last
Made with honest materials
Repairable and made to be worn for years

That's how you reduce waste, and how you make something with soul.

What riders say about celeris...

"I knew they’d be good…. But didn’t know they’d be THIS good! 

I have just ridden 3 horses in a row in a pair of brand new boots with zero pain and actually felt my lower leg was more quiet, plus they are beautiful!!

Thanks again for  the wonderful boots."

— Jodi Boyce, UAE

 “I am very happy with the
whole buying process with Celeris UK.  From the original enquiry to buying and all the extremely detailed measurement process it went very well. Once I set up the zoom meeting to review the process I felt comfortable buying from you. You met all the time commitments and the process was very easy. The boots fit me very well and I am a happy customer.”

— Cathy Macdonald, Canada

" After trying multiple boot companies and having small and massive, design and fit issues I decided to give celeris a try. Cate and Dawn were extremely attentive, took tons of time to constantly check measurements and reconfigure my designs as I settled on exactly what I wanted. The boots arrived and they are amazing. The quality and craftsmanship is what I like to see and they were soft and supple to ride in right away. Definitely a repeat customer!"

— Danielle Vitosh, USA

" Thank you again - I've hugely appreciated the level of customer service you and your team have provided. I've been blown away by it, especially with what customer support in general (let alone in the horse industry) has seemed to have fallen to these days. You guys have been amazing - my friend has also gotten really excited about Celeris after I talked to her about our back and forth and meeting - and will likely be close behind me!"

— Amanda Edwards, USA

“My boots are incredible!! The whole process was so easy and very reassuring, I was so impressed with the speed of response to any queries I had, the time frame it took to make my boots and the aftercare you provide. You get a 100% 5* rating from me!! Thank you so much for making my teenage dreams a reality, I finally have my own pair of celeris boots.”

— Georgina Ryder, UK

“My boots arrived without any customs drama.Even better they fit amazing well and are absolutely fantastically beautiful!!The Swarovski crystals are amazing against the glossy black.Thank you so much for your kind attention. Until next time, best”

— Mary Prendergast, USA

“I have never ridden in reinforced boots before and I was worried that the break-in period would be harsh. Yesterday was my maiden ride wearing the Passage and they felt incredible! My instructor commented on how they instantly improved my leg position. And I love how elegant they make me feel in the saddle. Can't wait to try the Bias next! Thank you, thank you for my new, amazing boots!”

— Nylah Lyman, USA

“They arrived so quickly and I couldn’t be happier! My first experience with custom boots and I was so nervous! They honestly feel made for me and are both so comfortable with first try on!!! I’ve never had custom boots and I’ve never owned any pair that I felt I could ride it on the first day! Thank you a million times over!”

— Martina Miner, USA

"The most beautiful boots."

Chris Anderson, Dressage Rider.
