Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

The materials are designed to be moisture-wicking and perforated to maximize airflow, meaning they do not retain water; however, they are not designed to be waterproof.

How do I choose the correct size?

Ensure the boots fit snugly around the fetlock without any gaps, and that the strike pads are centered over the joint.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, it is recommended to hand wash these boots to preserve the integrity of the ARMORTEX strike pads and the foam padding.

What is the purpose of the ARMORTEX material?

ARMORTEX is a specialized, puncture-resistant material used in the strike pads to provide extra defense against debris or accidental knocks during high-intensity work.

Are these suitable for all-day turnout?

These boots are intended for training and competition. Leaving them on for extended periods during turnout is not recommended as it may cause overheating.

Troubleshooting

Boots sliding during exercise

Ensure the hair is dry before application and adjust the dual-lock straps to ensure a snug fit without over-tightening.

Lining feels damp or smelly

Wipe down the interior after every use and ensure the boots are stored in a well-ventilated area to allow moisture to evaporate completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper performance, always start by checking that the horse's legs are clean and dry before application. Place the boot so the strike pad is positioned directly over the fetlock joint, then secure the dual-lock straps firmly enough to prevent sliding without restricting circulation.

Care instructions:

After each use, brush off any dried mud or debris from the exterior shell.
Periodically wipe the interior lining with a damp cloth to remove sweat and salts.
If the boots become heavily soiled, hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild, non-biological soap.
Always air-dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping or degrading.
