Boot Guide
Here’s our guide to getting started with Flex Boots successfully, and how to make the most of them with correct use and care.
When you receive your Flex Boots, it’s important to fit them correctly on your horse’s hooves. Well-fitted Flex Boots stay on securely, and will not rub your horse’s legs. Here’s our guide to getting started with Flex Boots successfully, and how to make the most of them with correct use and care.
If you’re not entirely sure that the new boots fit correctly, and you might want to return them, it’s important that you keep the boots completely clean when trying them on. This video shows how to try Flex Boots on without getting them dirty.
Make sure that your horse’s hooves are trimmed according to its individual anatomy, and maintained in their best condition with frequent enough trims. A small weekly trim, done by the owner, is one of the most effective ways to promote greater hoof health.
Pay attention to your horse’s topline and overall physical condition. Are they experiencing any discomfort that may affect the way they use their legs? Issues higher up in the body can affect hooves, so address any physical issues before getting on your horse.
Familiarise yourself with our fitting instructions. Flex Boots can be adjusted in several ways, so they can fit various different hoof shapes.
The boot material benefits from regular use. Use water and a brush to clean, and hang to dry and store in a well-ventilated place, like hung up on a wall. Never store Flex Boots in a bag, or in any kind of closed box or container. If you ride in a sea, always rinse the boots thoroughly with tap water after they’ve been exposed to sea water.
