Full details
The Cavallo Big Foot Boot (BFB) is designed specifically for horses with larger hooves, providing a durable, comfortable, and protective alternative to traditional metal shoes. It is ideal for owners looking to transition their horse to barefoot living while ensuring reliable performance on various terrains. The boot features a user-friendly, patented front-opening system for quick application, though potential buyers should note that it is not suitable for hooves where the width exceeds the length by more than 1/2 inch (12 mm).

FAQs
Can I use the BFB on both front and hind hooves?
Yes, the BFB is designed to be symmetrical and will fit both left and right hooves equally well.
How do I know if the boot is too wide for my horse?
If your horse's hoof width is greater than the hoof length by more than 1/2 inch (12 mm), this model will not provide an appropriate fit.
Are these boots sold in pairs?
No, the Cavallo Big Foot Boot is sold as a single unit.
Can I leave these boots on 24/7?
It is recommended to remove the boots daily to inspect the hoof, clean the area, and allow the hoof to breathe.
What happens if the Velcro stops working?
The BFB is designed with a replaceable closure system, allowing you to swap out the straps without needing to replace the entire boot.
Will the drainage slots let mud inside the boot?
While the slots are designed to let water and sand escape, some fine debris may enter if the ground is extremely muddy, which is why regular cleaning is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Boot feels loose during riding
Check that the hoof is properly seated and the Velcro is tightened. If the boot continues to rotate, verify your measurements as the boot may be too large.
Velcro is losing its grip
Use a small brush to remove trapped hair, dirt, or dust from the hook-and-loop fabric. If the material is worn, the components are replaceable.
Difficulty getting the boot on
Ensure the front opening is completely unfolded and check that the hoof is not overgrown, as a fresh trim is required for an optimal fit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Specifically sized for larger hoof dimensions
- Easy to put on and remove due to the front-opening design
- Breathable structure with drainage slots
- Durable 1680 Denier Nylon materials
- Versatile design fits both left and right hooves
Cons
- Not suitable for wide, flat hooves (where width exceeds length by >12mm)
- Sold as a single unit rather than a pair
- Requires careful measuring to ensure correct sizing
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, measure your horse's hooves accurately immediately after a fresh trim. The BFB is sold as a single unit, so you can mix and match sizes if your horse has varying hoof dimensions between front and hind feet.
Setup Steps:
- Open the front Velcro closures fully.
- Pick up the hoof and slide the toe into the front of the boot.
- Ensure the hoof is seated firmly against the back of the boot.
- Secure the Velcro straps snugly, ensuring they are not overtightened to the point of restricting circulation.
Care Instructions:
- Regularly inspect the Velcro closures for debris or mud that might interfere with adhesion.
- Rinse the boots with clean water after use in muddy or sandy environments to maintain the integrity of the nylon.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
