FAQs

Are these boots suitable for turnout?

These boots are designed for ridden exercise and protection during work. They are not intended for continuous wear during turnout, as prolonged exposure to dirt and moisture could affect the materials and fit.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by LeMieux, which typically bases size on the circumference of the horse's cannon bone and pastern area.

Can I use these boots on hind legs?

No, the LeMieux Carbon Air XC Boots are specifically designed for the anatomical structure of the front legs.

What is the strike guard made of?

The strike guard is made of a flexible and durable polycarbonate material, engineered for impact protection.

How often should I check the boots for wear?

It is recommended to inspect the boots for any signs of damage, wear on the straps, or degradation of the materials before and after each use.

What is the benefit of the perforated EVA lining?

The perforated EVA lining offers a comfortable, non-slip surface that aids in breathability and helps to keep the boot securely in place without excessive pressure.

Can these boots be machine washed?

It is recommended to hand wash the boots in cool water with mild detergent. Machine washing is not advised as it can damage the materials and fasteners.

Troubleshooting

Boots slipping down the leg

Ensure the straps are tightened correctly and that the leg is clean and dry. Check for any debris caught in the lining.

Straps causing rubs or irritation

Loosen the straps slightly. Ensure no dirt is trapped in the lining. Consider if a different size or boot style might be more suitable.

Boots seem too stiff

New boots may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially and gradually increase the duration.

Difficulty fastening straps securely

Ensure the hook-and-loop (Velcro) closures are clean and free of debris. Check that the straps are aligned correctly before fastening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers excellent protection against strikes and impacts.
  • Lightweight construction minimizes fatigue for the horse.
  • Vented design helps regulate leg temperature.
  • Secure and comfortable fit due to non-slip lining and adjustable straps.
  • Flexible strike guard allows for natural movement.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for horses with very sensitive skin due to the close-fit lining.
  • Requires precise fitting to ensure straps are neither too tight nor too loose.
  • Primarily designed for front legs, not a full set of boots.
  • The specialized materials may require specific cleaning methods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the horse's legs are clean and dry before applying the boots.
  2. Position the boot around the lower cannon bone, ensuring the strike guard is aligned with the front of the leg.
  3. Fasten the elasticated central locking straps, starting from the bottom and working upwards. Ensure a snug but not overly tight fit – you should be able to slide a finger between the strap and the leg.

Compatibility:

These boots are specifically designed for the front legs of horses. They are suitable for use in disciplines requiring impact protection, such as jumping, eventing, and cross-country. Ensure the size selected is appropriate for your horse's leg circumference.

Care:

  • Clean the boots after each use with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
  • The perforated EVA lining can be gently wiped clean.
  • Hand wash the boots in cool water with a mild detergent if necessary. Do not use harsh chemicals or bleach.
  • Allow boots to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight before storing.
  • Check straps for wear and tear regularly.
