FAQs

Are these boots suitable for jumping phases other than cross-country?

While designed with cross-country in mind for their specific protective features, they can be used for other jumping disciplines. However, their optimal performance is tailored to the demands of cross-country.

How do I determine the correct size for my horse?

Refer to the LeMieux sizing chart, which typically provides measurements for leg circumference. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit without restricting movement.

Can these boots be worn in wet conditions?

Yes, the anti-absorbent coating helps prevent water absorption, making them suitable for wet conditions. The durable outer shell and secure closures also help keep dirt and moisture out.

What is the benefit of the V-cut front edge?

The V-cut front edge is designed to reduce friction and resistance when the boot might contact a fence, helping it to slide off more easily and minimizing the risk of snagging or impact.

How often should I wash the boots?

It is recommended to wipe them clean after each use. Machine washing at 30 degrees should be done periodically as needed, following the care instructions carefully to preserve the material.

What makes the MIMSafe technology special?

MIMSafe technology, in partnership with the makers of MIMclip, focuses on advanced safety and impact protection. The boots are engineered to direct shock away from the horse's leg and offer a streamlined design for better performance.

Do these boots require any special treatment before first use?

No special treatment is required before first use. Ensure they are properly fitted to your horse. Always check the fit and security of the straps before riding.

Troubleshooting

Boots slipping down during use

Ensure the straps are fastened securely and evenly. Check that the boot is the correct size and fits snugly around the leg. Clean the inside of the boot and the horse's leg to remove any dust or moisture that could affect grip.

Horse seems uncomfortable or restricted

Verify that the boots are not too tight. Ensure the V-cut front edge is positioned correctly. Allow the horse a short period to acclimatize to the boots.

Material appears damaged after washing

Ensure you are following the 30-degree wash instruction and using a gentle cycle. Avoid direct heat for drying. If damage persists, contact customer support.

Hook and loop tape losing effectiveness

Clean the hook and loop surfaces regularly by brushing away any debris or mud. Ensure the straps are aligned correctly when fastening.
