Black Ryder boot covers

The black Ryder boot covers are covers that you pull over shoes and lower legs, so it looks as if you are wearing tall boots with a wide cuff. They are intended for men who want to complete the lower part of a musketeer or pirate costume without buying real cavalry boots. You wear them during carnival or at a theme party where a cloak and rapier set the tone.

What do the Ryder boot covers look like?

The boot covers are shiny black with a leather look and run from the shoe to just below the knee.

• The top has a wide cuff that is zipped up on the side with black laces through metal eyelets.
• Around the foot is a band that is fastened with gold-colored buttons.
• At the back, the cuff is lightly pleated.
• The material is 85% polyurethane, 10% polyester and 5% iron.
• The boot covers are not washable.
• They are made for men.

Cavalry boots as a characteristic of a musketeer and pirate

Tall boots with a wide, turned-down shaft are the hallmark of the musketeer and the pirate from adventure stories and films. Over dark trousers, that cuff immediately stands out, making the costume recognizable from a distance. With boot covers, you get that silhouette over your regular shoes, and after the party, you take them off again.

Moustache, eye patch and earring with the boot covers

For a pirate look, you draw a moustache and goatee with black face paint, and add an eye patch and a large earring. A musketeer calls for a well-groomed curled moustache and a signet ring on the hand. Rings and a necklace with a pendant suit both roles. Keep the trousers dark and tight, then the laced cuff remains clearly visible.

Order the black Ryder boot covers and enter the party during carnival as a musketeer or pirate.
