Its UltraShock lining takes in energy from overreaching and shields the crucial areas of the hoof while the soft no-turn knob prevents the boot from spinning. Its Ballistic nylon cover as well as binding makes these boots extremely durable and be able to absorb the everyday abuse of riding. My top suggested pick is the Professionals Choice Equine Ballistic Hoof Overreach Bell Boot.
After testing various products over the years, I have finally come up with a conclusion on which are the best horse hoof boots to buy on the market. See the eBay listing to the right for cheaper deals.The very best equine hoof boots offer essential traction and also grip-force on a slippery surface, provide a pain-free walk to the horse over hard uneven rocky surfaces, and safeguard the equine’s barefoot from injuries.īut how to select the best horse hoof boot among a wide array of products on the market nowadays?īeing at a horse farm since childhood, I am eligible to guide you to the best of the best product for your horse, pony, or donkey. The manufacturer's recommended price is $87.50-$103 (US) each. If the width and length measurements are different by more than one size, Eas圜are hoof boots are not recommended. If the width and length measurements indicate different boot sizes, select the larger Easyboot Epic size. Ideally, the width and length measurement will fit into the same boot size. I used to be a big fan of these boots (before the release of the Jogging Shoes) but towards the end I was frustrated as I was having to replace both the gaiter and the wires quite often which made them an expensive boot long-term.
This also affects the ability of the boot (and hoof) to gain traction on uneven ground.Īll the parts on the boot can be replaced should they break but they are fiddly and time-consuming to replace. You can avoid this to some extent by adding a pad in the bottom of the boot but you still don't get the same stimulation as you would in a flexible-soled boot such as the Jogging Shoes. This means that the hoof wall then bears most of the weight which is not ideal. The tread on the bottom of the boot is really durable but the sole itself is very rigid and does not conform to the sole of the hoof or to the ground surface. The gaiter fastens around the fetlock using velcro. The boots tighten using a cable and buckle system which allows numerous adjustments. If you use them without the gaiter you need to make sure you get a really tight fit. The gaiter makes them much more secure on the hoof and less likely to fall off especially if used for turnout. The gaiter-less version just goes by the name of "Easyboot". The Easyboot Epics are available in two options - with or without the gaiter.
