Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Arctic Ice Boot is an essential tool for equestrian athletes looking to facilitate rapid post-exercise recovery for their horses. Designed for use after rigorous activities like dressage, jumping, or cross-country, these boots use advanced gel technology to target tendons and joints with consistent cold therapy. While highly effective at reducing inflammation, users should note that they require advanced preparation time due to the 4-6 hour minimum freezing requirement, making them less suitable for spontaneous, last-minute cooling needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the boots, place them in the freezer for a minimum of 4-6 hours or overnight for maximum efficacy. When applying, secure the four elasticated straps firmly, but ensure they are not overtightened to avoid restricting circulation. After use, wipe the boots down with a damp cloth to remove any debris or moisture. Store them in a clean, dry place, and if freezing for future use, ensure they are laid flat to allow the gel to distribute evenly across the pockets. Do not machine wash or submerge in water, as this may compromise the gel integrity.
