OUR MATERIALS & SUSTAINABILITY

What we’re made of — and why it matters.

At Celeris, craftsmanship and integrity are inseparable. From the first pair of boots to the thousands we've now made, one thing has never changed: our refusal to cut corners. That starts with the materials — and extends to everything we touch.

The Leather

We only use full-grain, luxury leathers from Europe’s top tanneries — the same suppliers trusted by elite designer houses. These hides are pigment-dyed, chemical-light, and chosen for their natural grain, texture, and durability. We don’t want uniform, plastic-smooth leather. We want character. Structure. Longevity. That’s what lets our boots mould to your leg, hold their shape, and endure.

Why Not Vegan Leather?

We’ve tested them all. From PU to pineapple.

None perform like leather. They don’t stretch or mould. They can’t be resoled. And most are made with plastic compounds like PVC — which crack, degrade, and are far harder to recycle than natural leather and ultimately end up in landfill.

Real leather is a by-product of the food industry. It’s tanned, transformed, and given a second life in something that’s made to last. That’s true sustainability.

The Craft

Every boot is handmade in our Portuguese workshop by trained artisans — not machines, not factories. That means:

No mass production
No stock sizing
No wasteful overstock
Each boot is made for a rider, not a shelf. That alone reduces waste and ensures your boots won’t end up in landfill a year later.

Hardware & Details

We choose components for longevity:

  • YKK zips made for pressure and repetition
  • Galvanised metal hardware
  • Water-resistant suedes
  • Certified Swarovski® crystal elements with full traceability
  • Even our soles are pressure-locked and stitched — not glued — using a system designed in-house. We could cut costs here. We don’t.

Sustainable by Nature, Not Trend

We’re not riding the sustainability wave — we’re simply doing things properly. Our boots are:

  • Built to last
  • Made with honest materials
  • Repairable and wearable for years
  • That’s how you reduce waste. That’s 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

" 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

 “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

"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

" 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!"

“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!”
