FAQs
Can I leave these boots on all day?
No, these are training boots and should only be used during exercise. Keeping them on for extended periods may cause excessive heat buildup.
Are these boots waterproof?
The materials are water-resistant and breathable, but they are designed to let air flow through, so they are not fully waterproof.
How do I know if the D3O foam is still effective?
D3O is designed to be reusable. Provided the shell is not cracked and the foam inside feels intact without crumbling, it remains effective.
Are these boots suitable for dressage?
Yes, they provide excellent protection and breathability for any high-performance discipline.
How do I choose between sizes?
Measure the circumference and length of your horse's cannon bone; if you are between sizes, refer to the manufacturer's size chart for the most accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Boots sliding during exercise
Ensure the leg is clean and dry before application and verify that the elastic straps are tightened to the correct notch.
Grit buildup inside the boot
Check that the anti-grit mesh panels are free of tears and ensure the boot is positioned properly so the mesh covers all entry points.
Strap Velcro losing adhesion
Use a stiff brush to remove hair and debris from the hook-and-loop fasteners to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the boot is placed securely around the cannon bone with the straps fastened snugly but not overly tight, allowing for proper circulation. For longevity, brush off dry dirt after every ride using a soft-bristled brush. Hand wash the boots in lukewarm water with a mild, soap-free cleaner. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can degrade the specialized D3O foam and the structure of the PU shell. Always inspect the straps and billet fastenings before each ride to ensure there are no signs of fraying or fatigue.
