Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the initial setup, you must soak the boots for 2 to 4 hours to fully hydrate the crystals for the first time. For ongoing maintenance, simply soak them for one hour in cold water prior to each use. When finished, it is crucial to allow the boots to dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storing them away to prevent mold or odors. While the boots can be kept in the fridge to remain cool, do not place them in the freezer as this can damage the internal structure of the crystals. If you notice minor surface residue on the exterior after use, this is a normal result of the crystalline reaction and can be wiped away with a soft cloth. Always monitor the horse during the initial application to ensure they are comfortable with the weight and cooling sensation of the boots.
