Healthy hooves,
healthy horses.
At Flex Hoof Boots, our mission is simple: keep your horse moving in comfort, with hooves that stay healthy and strong. Because when a horse feels good in their feet, everything changes – their stride, their expression, and their willingness and ability to partner with you.
If your horse’s comfort and long-term soundness are at the heart of every decision you make, you’re exactly where you need to be.

Why consider Flex Boots?
Let your horse move the way nature intended.
Flex Boots protect the hoof without locking it in rigid shoes, so every step can flex, grip, and cushion just as the hoof was designed to do. Lightweight Finnish engineering, modular replace-and-reuse parts that cut waste, and a welfare-first mindset – that’s Flex comfort in motion.
Mobility
Give your horse the freedom to move naturally.
When your horse’s hooves are pain-free and able to function naturally, it shows. The way they move more confidently, the way they show a softer eye, and the ability to relate to their surroundings in a calmer state of mind. Flex Boots are designed to protect the hoof while allowing it to function as nature intended, so your horse can stay sound, confident, and comfortable on every ride.
Comfort
Protection that feels like a part of the horse.
Soft, breathable gaiters and a smooth, seamless lining eliminate rubs and pressure points – even on sensitive or transitioning hooves. The flexible design moulds to the hoof, absorbing shock and keeping your horse fresh and comfortable step after step.
Expression
When the hooves feel good, the whole horse changes.
A pain-free hoof can transform your horses attitude and performance. You’ll notice a brighter expression, a more willing partner, and fewer signs of tension or resistance. Your horse will move with joy.
Comfort isn’t just physical – it’s emotional too.
What kind of boot should I pick?
Choosing the right hoof boot doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
We make the fitting process simple. Our experienced barefoot trimmers will help with measuring and adjustments to ensure your horse gets the perfect Flex Boot fit. Send us clear photos and measurements, and we’ll personally check them – guaranteeing comfort, performance, and hoof health with every step.

Features
Built to move with your horse
Flex Hoof Boots adapt to your horse’s unique hoof shape and workload. Every detail is engineered for natural movement, day‑long comfort, and low‑maintenance care.
Patented Built-In Toe Callus
Low-profile reinforcement at the toe guides the hoof through a smooth, natural break-over. This eases strain on tendons and shields the toe from everyday scuffs and abrasion – keeping your horse comfortable and your boots lasting longer.
Air-Cushion Midsole
Our patented midsole works like a tiny air pillow under each hoof, absorbing shock and softening impact. From gravel lanes to hard-packed trails, our midsole helps protect joints and keeps your horse moving freely.
Soft Flex Shell
Feather-light and fully flexible, the boot shell moves with the hoof for correct biomechanics straight out of the box. No rubbing, no break-in period; just comfortable protection your horse can trot or canter off in right away.
Easy, Modular Fit
Slip them on, click them closed – no Velcro to clog up with dirt, no cables to fray and replace. Pre-molded stud ports make winter grip easy, and every part (gaiter, sole, strap) can be swapped out in minutes for low-waste, longer lasting hoof boot.
A Game-Changer for Sensitive Hooves and Trail Riding
“I’m a big fan of the Flex Hoof Boots due to their effortless and quick application process. These boots boast a durable tread pattern that maintains its quality for months on end. Moreover, my horse moves with remarkable ease while wearing them. These boots have proven invaluable for our trail rides! If the ground freezes we can rely on a set with integrated ice studs. Given my horse’s sensitivity and aversion to walking on gravel without protection, the Flex Hoof Boots have truly been a game-changer for us. Winning a pair would be a dream come true! 💜”
The Only Boots That Have Stood the Test of Time
“Pictured here competing for Scotland at the red dragon in Wales. We’ve been in flex now for a couple of years and where as his feet are great but it gives me peace of mind on some tracks you can come across on endurance trails but more so they are a great shock absorber for the joints. We tried so many different boots and these are the only ones that have stuck the test of time. He does wear over reach boots as he can over strike so you may need to zoom in to see the flex boots 😄”
Comfortable Protection for Turnout
“Wearing our flex boots for turn out on the track, they are super helpful when the ground is hard.”
Extra Comfort for Penny
Penny loves her boots! They are even better for having pads in them, they keep her extra comfortable.
Year-Round Comfort – Even in Winter Turnout
Here is Jack wearing his flex boots. I love how easy these boots are to put on, take off and keep clean. I also love that I can mix and match the colours! Jack wears them for hacking mainly but also in the school if his feet are a bit sensitive and/or the ground is hard. They are very useful in winter with the frozen ground as they help him stay comfortable during 24/7 turn out – never had any rubs!
