FAQs

Are these boots suitable for front legs?

No, the WeatherBeeta Tough-Tec Essential Fetlock Boots are specifically designed and shaped for hind leg protection. Using them on front legs is not recommended.

How do I know if I've fastened the boots correctly?

The boots should be snug but not tight. You should be able to slide two fingers comfortably between the strap and your horse's leg. Ensure they are level and do not impede movement.

What does 'FEI-Compliant' mean for these boots?

FEI-compliant means the boots meet the Fédération Équestre Internationale's regulations for protective boots in competition, specifically regarding weight (under 500g), height (under 16cm), and the type of fastening (non-elastic hook-and-loop).

Can these boots be used in wet conditions?

Yes, the durable TPU outer is designed to withstand various conditions. However, ensure the boots are thoroughly dried after use in wet conditions to prevent damage to the lining and maintain hygiene.

How often should I replace these boots?

With proper care and regular inspection, these durable boots can last for a significant period. Replace them if you notice any significant damage, loss of elasticity in straps, or degradation of the protective material.

What is the main benefit of the TPU outer shell?

The robust TPU outer shell provides superior protection against impacts, abrasions, and general wear and tear, ensuring the horse's fetlocks are shielded during strenuous activities.

Troubleshooting

Boots appear too tight or restrictive

Loosen the hook-and-loop straps slightly. Ensure you are using the correct size for your horse and that the boots are not over-tightened. Refer to fitting guidelines to confirm proper placement.

Boots are slipping or moving during exercise

Ensure the legs are clean and dry before application. Re-apply the straps, ensuring they are securely fastened without over-tightening. Check for any obstructions or unusual leg conformation that might affect fit.

Horse seems uncomfortable or rubs with the boots

Verify the fit is correct and not constricting. Ensure the neoprene lining is clean and free from debris. Consider if a different boot style or size might be more suitable for your horse's specific conformation.

Material shows signs of wear

Inspect the TPU outer shell and straps regularly. While designed for durability, extensive abrasive contact can cause wear. Clean and care for the boots as recommended to prolong their lifespan.
