Description
FlexMini Ahti Back Strap
The Ahti Back Strap is part of the FlexMini Ahti fastening system, designed to secure the boot at the back of the hoof while allowing natural movement.
It wraps over the heel bulbs and connects to both sides of the boot, helping keep the boot stable during use without restricting the natural expansion of the hoof.
Designed for secure, natural function
The Back Strap plays an important role in how the boot stays in place:
-
Keeps the boot aligned during movement
-
Supports the hoof without pressure or restriction
-
Works together with the full Ahti fastening system
When correctly adjusted, it provides a secure hold while allowing the hoof to move as it should.
When to use
Replacement Back Straps are available if:
• Your current strap is worn or damaged
• You need a spare set
• You are maintaining or rebuilding your boots
Each FlexMini Ahti boot includes a Back Strap as standard.
Sizing
One size fits all.
The strap is designed to match the proportions of the boot, ensuring correct positioning and function.
The strap can be adjusted and, if needed, shortened to suit different limb shapes.
Fit & Adjustment
For correct function:
-
The strap should sit centered over the heel bulbs
-
Approximately one finger should fit between the strap and the leg
-
Excess length can be trimmed if needed
Correct adjustment ensures stability without restricting natural hoof expansion.
Material
Made from high-quality thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), combining flexibility, durability, and resistance to wear in daily use.
Care
-
Rinse or brush off dirt after use
-
Allow to dry in a ventilated area
-
Avoid harsh chemicals

Avoid storage in high heat or enclosed spaces

FlexMini Ahti uses a modular sizing system. Each size is created by combining the boot shell with the correct Rear Unit to achieve the final dimensions.
Boot sizing is based on the internal width of the boot, with the length proportionally longer to match the natural shape of miniature hooves.
Our boot measurements are taken from the inside of the boot shell, so it’s easy to compare them directly to your hoof measurements. Hooves should be measured shortly after a fresh trim.
If the hoof measurements are exactly at the upper limit of the boot measurements, and the horse has large heel bulbs, it is advisable to choose the next size up or use pads for adjustment.
Measure the width from the widest part of the hoof, with the tape measure perpendicular to the centre line of the hoof.
Now, compare the hoof measurement to this FlexMini Ahti size chart.

Materials
The boot shell, TPU gaiter and back strap are made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a material that is often called a hybrid between plastic and rubber. TPU offers the flexibility of rubber, but with the strength and durability of plastic. Neoprene gaiters are made soft but durable neoprene with laminated fabric on both sides. Rivets are made of steel. Pads are made of EVA foam. Extension straps are also made of TPU.
Care instructions
Flex Boots are easy to clean and maintain. The TPU material keeps its elasticity and lasts longer if the boots are in regular use. After using the boots, simply rinse off any dirt and hang the boots to dry in a well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight. Do not store the boots in a closed space such as a box or in your car. The boot shell, TPU gaiter, and back straps can be brushed clean and washed with water. Do not use cleaning products.
Neoprene gaiter can be rinsed with water or washed in a washing machine in a cold cycle. Air dry only, do not tumble dry.
Pads can be rinsed with water after use to remove any debris.
Do not use any cleaning products to clean the TPU parts.
We have retailers all around the world, so ordering from a Flex Boot stockist near you might be more convenient than ordering from our store which is located in Finland.
