Absolutely love seeing showing us how it’s done in her new custom Der Dau boots.

Built for performance, comfort, and that polished show-ring finish, every pair is crafted to move with the rider from the first stride to the final jump.

Thank you for riding with Der Dau and making these boots look incredible in action.

Thank you, .eq, for sharing such kind words and giving us a closer look at your new Glossy Dream Boots.

From the glimmer of the stingray leather to the patent crocodile detail, every element was designed to feel personal while still staying refined enough for both hunters and jumpers.

We’re so happy you love them, Emma, and we can’t wait to see you ride in them.

Joni’s Warioto Farm in Tennessee is an EQUUS Foundation Forever Farm and home to many retired NYC carriage horses, rescue horses, and farm animals of all kinds.

We think purple looks amazing on you, Joni. Thank you for all you do.

“Innovation is something the other boot companies haven’t really addressed.”

Canadian show jumping legend Ian Millar shares his perspective on working with Joseph Der Dau —from early conversations about orthotics to rethinking what riders truly need when they’re on their feet all day at competitions.

At Der Dau, innovation isn’t about trends. It’s about listening, refining, and building boots that support riders both in and out of the saddle.
