These boots provide a robust defense against overreaching injuries during training or turnout, featuring a shock-absorbing interior and a soft synthetic fur lining that significantly reduces the risk of rubs.

FAQs
Can these boots be used for turnout?
Yes, they are suitable for turnout, provided they are fitted correctly to avoid interfering with the horse's natural gait.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Measure the circumference of the pastern and refer to the size guide to ensure the overlap of the 5cm velcro strap allows for a snug fit.
Will the plastic shell crack in cold weather?
The high-quality plastic is designed to maintain flexibility across various temperatures, though care should be taken to avoid extreme impact in freezing conditions.
Can I tumble dry these boots?
No, tumble drying is not recommended as it may damage the shock-absorbing interior and melt the synthetic fur.
Are these boots waterproof?
The materials are water-resistant and will not absorb water, making them ideal for use in wet field conditions or muddy arenas.
Troubleshooting
Boots keep spinning on the hoof
Check the tightness of the fasteners. Ensure the boots are the correct size and not sitting too loose around the pastern.
Velcro is no longer sticking securely
Use a stiff brush or a metal comb to remove hair, dirt, and arena sand embedded in the hooks of the fastener.
Fur lining is becoming matted
After washing, gently brush the damp fur with a soft grooming brush to restore loft and comfort before air drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, apply the boots clean and dry on your horse's legs. Ensure the double touch close straps are overlapping correctly so the hook surface is fully engaged with the loop fabric. When cleaning, remove as much loose dirt and hair as possible before washing. Place the boots in a laundry bag to protect the drum of your machine and wash at a maximum of 30 degrees. Always air dry the boots naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the plastic shell and the longevity of the velcro fastenings.
