on individual boots & easyshoes.

Before you buy be sure to size correctly.

Correct sizing is everything with hoof boots! We cannot stress this point enough!

1.    Measure after a fresh trim.

2.   Check through all the sizing charts for the various styles to locate a boot which is the closest match to your measurements, both length and width.  Choose styles that suit your horse's measurements.

Some boot styles will accommodate less than perfect feet - these are the ones that enclose more of the entire hoof capsule or have fastening systems that can draw in the top of the boot.

3.     Read the manufacturer's information for that individual boot style and see if it suits your purposes. Be sure to do this as there are many styles, all slightly different.

4.     Often if the horse is fresh out of long term shoeing it is necessary to choose a boot that is not close fitting for your first boot (i.e. The New Mac G2, New Trail or Transition Boot) and then as the horse's hoof form improves you can look to the closer fitting sytles for your next boot.

Sizing charts are listed below with the boot range and are also listed on our shop with the individual boot styles.

Tips for Fitting Success:

Aways measure after a fresh trim & according to the manufacturer's instructions for that particular boot.

For Rx Therapy boots,  or Soaker boots, The Clouc therapy boot, upsize for bandaging and ease of application.

For riding boots always choose the boot whose sizing chart mirrors your hoof shape. Poor fit allows the boots to move and twist when on the horse.  Most of the complaints about boots stem from errors in boot sizing by the owner when purchasing, not from boot failures.  Boots are generally exceptionally tough.

If you have a hoof with flares or distortions then choose a boot that accommodates these. Note:  Flares, hoof cracks, hoof distortions are not natural.  They stem from incorrect hoof form and poor trimming.  Talk to our Podiotherapist about how these an be dealt with.

For good boot fit a 4 weekly cycle is recommended. If you are on a longer trim cycle between trimmer's visits sometimes its necessary to use a more high profile boot that will accomodate a little flaring.

Measure carefully, use metric measurements they are more accurate.        Boot sizes also do not equate to shoe sizes.

One question we are often get asked is, "Why can't I measure in inches and convert to millimeters?"

The problem here is two-fold.

First, most of the time when people measure in inches they tend to round to the nearest inch, or fraction of an inch.

Second, one inch does not convert to an even millimeter measurement. One inch is equal to 25.4 millimeters. When rounding your inches measurements, it will obscure your millimeters conversion by nearly 0.5 millimeters.

This may not seem like much, but if you take 0.5 millimeters off of each inch measured, the difference can be quite significant. This is especially an issue when trying to fit a boot, like the Easyboot Glove, which requires precise measurements for a proper fit.  Great fit only comes from accurate measurements taken correctly.

Thanks for helping us, help you, get the most out of your Easycare boots.

The FLIP FLOP

Something never before seen in equine hoof protection!

Easyboot Flip Flop

This new glue-on boot is a flip-flop design with a conventional upper that extends to the widest point of the hoof. This part of the hoof has the least amount of movement in both the vertical and horizontal planes. Because of this lack of movement, the bonds between the shoe and the hoof hold much tighter and are less likely to fail than at the heel.

Having trouble finding a boot to fit a short wide hoof shape?       The Flip Flop is your solution!
