Spur guide: neck lengths, end styles, sizes and how to wear them
Spur guide
Choosing and fitting your spurs
| Neck length | Good to know |
|---|---|
| ½ in (15 mm) | The shortest reach; a gentle first spur |
| ¾ in (20 mm) | A common all-round length |
| 1 in (25 mm) | A little more reach |
| 1¼ in (30 mm) | Helps riders with long legs reach the horse's side |
End styles
Knob or round end: rounded and gentle. Prince of Wales: a short, flat, square end. Hammer head: a wider, flat end. Bumper: no neck, so you can ask without turning your heel in. Slip-on: no straps needed; the band grips the boot heel. Rubber covers soften any end.
Size
Ladies' spurs have a narrower heel band for women's boots, Men's are wider, and Kids' are smallest.
How to wear them
- Put the longer branch on the outside of your boot.
- Rest the spur on the heel counter, just above the heel.
- Angle the neck down, never up.
- Buckle the strap over the top of your foot, on the outside.

Strap guide: lengths, widths and how to thread them
Strap guide
Choosing and fitting spur straps
| Length | Fits |
|---|---|
| About 15 in (38 cm) | Junior boots |
| 17¾–19 in (45–48 cm) | Most adult boots |
| 20–20½ in (51–52 cm) | Larger boots or extra room |
Width
Most English spurs have loop ends that take a ½ in (13 mm) strap. Narrower ⅜ in (10 mm) straps give a slimmer look; check that your spur's loops fit.
How to thread them
- Thread the strap through the outside branch of the spur, top to bottom.
- Run it through the inside branch from the bottom, then back through the top.
- Put the longer branch, and the buckle, on the outside of your boot.
- Leave enough strap to fasten comfortably, then adjust to your liking.
Each strap's own length is listed in its product details.
