How to get the Best Boot Size and Fit

Measure after a trim
This is when the hooves are at the correct size and shape. Hooves should be maintenance trimmed weekly, to retain the shape and balance of the hoof.

Length
Imagine drawing a line across the back of the hoof, from heel to heel. From the middle of that line draw another line straight to the toe. This is where you measure the length of the hoof.

Heel bulbs
When measuring the length of the hoof, do not measure the heel buttress, only the weight-bearing area of the hoof wall.

Width
Measure the width at the widest part of the hoof.

Size post-trim
If after a fresh trim the hoof is for example 115mm wide and 120mm long, we recommend size 120 with Flex Pads to accommodate slight hoof growth between trims.

Growth speed
If the last trim was, say 3 weeks ago, and the hoof measurements are the same as right after the trim (115mm wide, 120mm long), then size 110 would be best, as long as you trim frequently enough to keep the hooves from getting any bigger.

Hoof shape
Flex Boots suit many different shape and size hooves. However, if the hoof width is over 10mm greater than the length, our boots are not ideal for your horse.

Twist
If the hoof is very narrow and the horse has a habit of twisting its legs a lot, it may be that our flexible boot is not suitable for your horse.

Choosing the Correct Size Boot

Measuring hoof length

Measure your horse's hooves and compare the measurements to the chart below.

Take the measurement a day or two after the hooves have been trimmed, and make sure to measure all four feet, as they may differ in size.

Flex Hoof Boots do require an accurate fit, so I recommend that you take photo measurements (as shown) and email them to me so I can double check the sizing for you.
