Genuine French chalk, traditionally used to help ease the process of pulling on close-fitting riding boots.

Supplied in an easy-to-use glass jar with a handle and holed lid, the chalk can be lightly shaken into the inside of your boots before wear. This helps reduce friction, allowing the foot and leg to slide into the boot more smoothly without unnecessary pulling or strain.

French chalk is especially useful for traditional riding, hunting and field boots, where the fit is often close through the ankle and calf. Used carefully, it can make putting your boots on much easier while helping to protect the leather from excessive force during the pull-on process.

A simple but highly useful accessory for anyone wearing traditional long boots.
