Woof Wear's Innovative Medical Hoof Boot is a unique close-fitting boot to keep poultices clean and dry. It can be used in the stable or for turnout. Riders love the simplicity of Woof Wear's Medical Hoof Boot. A small amount of adhesive tape to hold the poultice in place is all that is needed before fitting the boot. Made from super-stretch Neoprene for a close fit, Kevlar inner sole for durability, and a Non-Slip Rubber outsole. Can be used with or without a horseshoe. Sold singly. Important: Measure carefully – The Medical Hoof Boot should be a snug fit. Cover with an overreach boot – horses often stand on their own feet.
A unique close fitting hoof boot designed to keep wounds, poultices and dressings clean. This durable boot is suitable for stable and turnout use, enabling your horse to enjoy some freedom instead of being kept in his stable. Featuring a grooved sole for extra grip and a Kevlar interior for durability, it also has an asymmetric zip to give the boot a really close fit (and prevent it opening), stopping bedding and other debris from getting inside.
Available in 10 different sizes based on shoe size, the boot is designed for use with or without a shoe (you may need to go up a size if using with a shoe on). It can assist in a number of ailments to the foot such as abscesses, punctured sole or bruised sole.
The boot is machine washable at 30 degrees.

To get the best out of your Medical Hoof Boot:
Overreaching
Do not use the Medical Hoof Boot (MHB) in place of an overreach boot to prevent shoe loss. The MHB is not designed for this application and will not protect against overreaching.
We recommend always using a generous sized overreach boot over the top of MHB to protect it should your horse stand on himself or overreach. We recommend this on both front and hind hooves.
Measure, Measure, Measure...
The MHB is designed to be a snug fit so it doesn't fall off. If you do not measure accurately or buy a size too big, it can result in damage to the MHB due to the boot being trodden on by the other foot.
Measuring Rules:
i) Measure width carefully before bandaging, with or without shoe
ii) Choose size per guide (don't go to next size up)
iii) No need to add extra for dressings
