The difference from this to the Balmoral Classic is that this design has a full length zip for easier foot entry. The Balmoral Sporting Collection is a range of high performance technical boots designed for sporting enthusiasts. Introducing the first in our technical boot collection, the Balmoral Classic is made from a rubber compound that is more heavy duty than the Original Tall. The Classic features Balmoral styling, consisting of a leather look finish, leg contouring, and a look that is altogether more rugged that appeals to both mens and women. The robust outsole feature's more ridges offering greater traction and an on/off kick spur on the back.
