Flex Boots feature minimal but adaptable closures, with the ability to be used in water and mud, thanks to the drainage design of the shell. The sole is very flexible, allowing movement both laterally and medially. This enables the horse to maintain hoof function and development as the boots will absorb the impact of the terrain, while still allowing the horse to feel the ground. Flex Boots remain close to the hoof without rubbing. The gaiter is made of a soft neoprene material with laminated fabric on both sides.
Standard Flex Boot sole is 10 millimeters longer than wide, so it’s the correct boot for naturally oval hooves. Products are listed by size and sold individually.
Flex Boots are suitable for use on all surfaces, in all seasons. They allow the horse to move freely and promote healthy hoof development. When fitted correctly, the boots do not require any breaking-in, and are ready to be used immediately.
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 of 5mm thick neoprene with laminated fabric on both sides.
Rivets are made of steel.
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.
