Once you have chosen the right size boots for your horse, fitting them correctly is important for the comfort of your horse and longevity of the boots. That's why we have written extensive instructions to help you achieve the best fit for your horse. Click on the image below to download our printable fitting instructions.
How long do Flex Hoof Boots last? This depends on many things; how the horse moves (uses his body), how fast the horse travels, how often the boots are used, on what kind of terrain they are used, whether the owner is doing a weekly maintenance trim, and so on. Extreme disciplines cause boots to wear out faster than boots in recreational use, just like a marathon runner wears out their running shoes faster than someone who runs just for fun. Why should I trim my horse's hooves every couple of weeks? You don’t need to, if the hooves stay in shape. If your horse has ideal living conditions and wears its hooves at the same rate they grow, consider yourself lucky! But if the hoof grows out of its natural anatomic shape and balance, the break over point moves forward. If that's the case then you do need to keep the hooves in shape by more frequent trimming. Can Flex Boots be used in 24/7 turnout? Yes, you can use them 24/7, but you need to be aware that every horse acts differently when turned out. Some are calm, some tend to run around a lot, and so forth. So if your horse has a habit of running around, they spook easily, or have a tendency to over reach, then we recommend using bell boots to protect the Flex Hoof Boots. What warranty do you offer? We offer a 90-day warranty from the date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship for the products we manufacture. Normal or excessive wear of the product is not covered by the warranty.Excessive wear on one part of the boot is normally caused by an imbalance in the horse’s body or hooves, so keep this in mind when you start using Flex Boots. For example, if a horse wears the toe of the boots faster than other parts of it, this is usually due to issues with the horse’s neck/shoulders or pelvic/hind knee area, or the lack of proper trim. Just one centimetre of excess hoof wall length on toe area can cause excessive wear of the soft barefoot boots. Therefore, a weekly maintenance trim is important for making your Flex Boots last as long as possible.The warranty does not cover a product that has been damaged as a result of misuse or intentional damage, such as when a horse steps over the boots and the boots get damaged, rivets become loose, the gaiter’s rubber band breaks, marks that have been caused by ice or grass studs, or the horse has otherwise damaged the boots, or the user instructions are not followed when using the boots. The warranty does not cover the breakage of the boots caused by hooves that have not been trimmed correctly, or that are not trimmed often enough.If your horse has a tendency to over-reach, you may want to use bell boots over the boots to protect the boots from potential damage. |
Can I use Flex Boots on rocky terrain? Yes you can, and your horse will love them. Because of the design, material and structure of the sole, Flex Boots offer very good shock absorption. And if the horse is sore, you can add Flex Pads into the boots to make your horse even more comfortable. Our boots are as soft as they are for a reason: we want the horse’s soles to function in the boots as naturally as possible. Flex Boots offers maximum protection without making the hoof numb. Are Flex Boots slippery? No, they are not. Flex Hoof Boots have a great grip because of the material and structure of the sole. Can you add studs to the boots? Boots are sold without studs, but you can buy the studs separately. They are great for icy conditions, or if you need some extra grip for example of grass surfaces. All our boots come with pre-made holes that make adding studs easy. See the video below for instructions of how to add studs. Are there problems with snow compaction when using Flex boots? No. Due to the shape of the outside sole, there is no space where snow could collect and get compacted. Also, the studs are so small that they don’t collect snow like metal shoes with big studs do. Will Flex Boots rub? We have not discovered any rubbing whatsoever. Flex Boots are very soft and the durable neoprene gaiters make the boots very comfortable for the horse to wear. The gaiters are also changeable, and when the boots are fitted and adjusted properly, they fit the hooves snugly without any rubbing. Why is it necessary to tighten the straps after a few steps? After a few steps with the boots on, you might discover that the straps are too loose. This is because the horse’s toe has moved forward in the boot and is now in the correct position. To adjust the fit, you need to tighten the straps by one or two holes but make sure that after adjusting you can still comfortably insert two fingers under the pastern strap, and one finger snugly under the back strap. If you see that the pastern strap holes are stretched over the rivets, then the strap is too tight and you need to loosen it by one hole. When should I use the higher or lower back strap settings? Start with the higher setting, which is the initial setting and the one that works best for most horses. However, if the boot is slightly loose, or the horse has very slim legs, you may want to try the lower setting. I discovered that during a ride, the back strap had opened. Why did this happen? If the end of the strap is too long, then it may open more easily. After adjusting the strap, it’s recommended that you cut the extra length off to be sure that the strap will remain closed. Only one extra hole is needed past the strap closure. How long does the Flex pad EVA last when used 24/7? Like with everything, it depends on the horse. For example, one of our own horse’s feet are unbalanced, and he bears more weight on the lateral heels on his fronts. Because of this, the pads showing signs of wear in that part of the hooves in a few days, but we can still wear the same pads continuously for well over three weeks. In his hinds, which are balanced, the pads last at least three times longer. |
