Product Information
Full details
The Shires ARMA Air Motion Brushing Boots are designed for equestrians seeking superior leg protection during daily training sessions. These boots utilize advanced Air Motion fabric to facilitate airflow, effectively reducing sweat buildup and keeping the horse's legs cool under exertion. While they offer excellent impact resistance, users should ensure proper fit to prevent debris from becoming trapped under the lining during muddy outdoor conditions.

FAQs
Can I use these boots for turnout?
These boots are intended primarily for exercise and training. Prolonged use in turnout, especially in wet or muddy conditions, may cause skin irritation.
How do I determine the correct size?
Measure the circumference of the horse's cannon bone and compare it to the specific size guide provided by Shires to ensure proper coverage.
Are these boots waterproof?
No, they are designed to be breathable to encourage airflow, which means they will absorb moisture rather than repel it.
Are they machine washable?
It is highly recommended to hand wash these boots to protect the integrity of the strike pad and the breathability of the mesh fabric.
Do these provide support for the tendons?
These are primarily brushing boots designed to prevent impacts; they offer minimal structural support for tendons compared to specialized support boots.
Troubleshooting
Boots slipping during exercise
Ensure the hair is brushed smooth before application and tighten the touch-close straps evenly to provide a uniform fit.
Airflow seems restricted
Check the mesh pores for dried mud or grit buildup and rinse thoroughly with a high-pressure water spray.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High breathability reduces the risk of overheating
- Durable strike pads provide reliable impact protection
- Easy-to-use touch-close fasteners allow for quick application
- Lightweight construction prevents interference with gait
Cons
- Fabric requires regular cleaning to maintain ventilation
- Not suitable for turnout in extremely muddy or wet conditions
- Limited to brushing protection; not designed for heavy jumping support
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure the boots are placed correctly on the horse's leg, with the strike pad facing inward. Fasten the straps snugly but ensure you can fit a finger between the strap and the leg to prevent restricting circulation. For care, it is recommended to hose off the boots after each use to clear the mesh fabric of dust and sweat. If they become heavily soiled, hand wash them in lukewarm water with a mild detergent and air dry away from direct heat sources, as high temperatures can degrade the synthetic fibers.
