FAQs
Can these boots be worn for turnout?
Yes, they are designed for both training and turnout, providing protection against impact while the horse is in the field.
Are they waterproof?
While the ballistic nylon is highly durable and resistant, these boots are not fully waterproof, so they may retain moisture if used in heavy mud.
How do I determine the right size?
Measure the circumference of your horse's pastern and compare it with the size specifications, noting that the 'No-Turn' feature works best when the fit is snug.
Can I tumble dry these boots?
No, you must dry them naturally to maintain the structural integrity of the ballistic material and the Velcro closures.
What is the benefit of the nodules inside?
The soft internal nodules help the boot grip the pastern gently, which prevents the boot from rotating during movement.
Are these boots suitable for cross-country?
They provide excellent protection for general schooling, though some riders prefer specialized gear for high-level cross-country jumping.
Troubleshooting
Boot spins during intense exercise
Ensure the boots are sized correctly for the horse's pastern and the Velcro straps are tightened securely.
Velcro is not sticking properly
Check the fasteners for debris like straw or mud; clean the hook-and-loop surface with a stiff brush to restore grip.
Boots show stiffening after washing
Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, and ensure the boots are dried in a shaded, ventilated space.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure the boot fits snugly around the pastern without being overly tight. Secure the double locking Velcro firmly to prevent debris from entering the closure. To maintain the life of your KM Elite boots, machine wash them at 30 degrees Celsius. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the ballistic nylon and the structural integrity of the Velcro; always allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area.
