FAQs

Can these boots be used on front legs?

Yes, the Ultra Mesh Snug Boots Hind have a wider inner lining and can be used on the front legs of large-boned horses. Ensure a proper fit for optimal support.

How should I wash my LeMieux Ultra Mesh Snug Boots?

Machine wash them at a low temperature (preferably 30 degrees) using a washing tablet/capsule, ideally in a wash bag. Fasten all Hook & Loop closures and clip straps before washing. Air dry away from heat.

What materials are these boots made from?

The boots are composed of Nylon (20%), TPU (35%), Polyester (35%), and Brass (10%).

How do the boots help with heat dissipation?

They feature four perforations for rapid heat dissipation and a TPU moulded outer shell with multiple vents down the back of the tendon and over the fetlock joint.

Are these boots suitable for everyday turnout?

These boots are designed for protection and support during ridden work and strenuous activity. For turnout, dedicated turnout boots are generally recommended to protect against mud, debris, and potential damage from other horses.

What does 'Snug Boots' mean in the product name?

'Snug Boots' refers to the close-fitting, supportive nature of the boot design, aiming for a secure and comfortable fit that minimizes movement and potential for rubbing.

Can I tumble dry these boots?

No, never tumble dry the boots. They must be air-dried away from any heat source to prevent damage to the materials and construction.

Troubleshooting

Boots appear to be slipping during use.

Ensure the elasticated fastenings are securely tightened, but not so tight as to restrict circulation. Check that the horse's legs are clean and dry before application. Verify the boots are the correct size and orientation for the legs.

Excessive heat build-up despite ventilation.

Confirm that the ventilation perforations and vents are not blocked by dirt or debris. Ensure the inner lining is clean and not saturated with sweat, which can impede airflow. Consider the ambient temperature and intensity of work.

Rubbing or chafing noticed on the horse's legs.

Check the Lycra binding for any damage. Ensure the boots are fitted correctly and not too tight. The stretch cotton inner should be clean and dry. If the issue persists, the boots may not be suitable for the horse's specific leg conformation or movement.

Difficulty with Hook & Loop fastenings.

Ensure the Hook & Loop areas are clean and free from debris. For washing, always fasten them together to maintain their effectiveness. If they are worn out, consider replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots are designed for straightforward application. Ensure the horse's legs are clean and dry before fitting. Secure the elasticated fastenings to ensure a snug, but not tight, fit.

Care: To maintain the boots' performance and longevity, machine wash them at a low temperature, preferably 30 degrees Celsius, using a washing tablet or capsule. It is advisable to wash them inside a wash bag. Before washing, fasten all Hook & Loop closures together and attach any clip straps to prevent damage. Crucially, air dry the boots away from any direct heat source; never tumble dry them.
