The Easycare Glue-On Hoof Boot

The Easyboot Glue-On shell has been developed as a high performance hoof boot and an option for horses in speed and long distance events. The light weight shell style hoof boot has thin walls that allow the boot to stretch and form to the hoof, the end result is a seamless one-to-one fit that resembles a second skin. The Easycare Glue-On is the next best thing to a naturally bare hoof, giving protection without excess weight or bulk.

This hoof boot is designed to be disposable, being used once or twice and then thrown away. Glue left on the inside of the boot may affect performance. It is not recommended to leave the Easyboot Glue-On hoof boot on for more than 10 days in a dry environment or 5 days in a humid environment. It is possible to purchase an easy boot glove gaiter and covert these boots to gloves if desired to extend the life of the purchase, but all glue must be removed for the boot to continue to work successfully and not cause rubbing or bruising to the hoof.

All portions of the shell can be modified or trimmed down if desired. The rear of the shell can be lowered or even removed to accommodate horses with low heels. Trimming the heel area will not affect the application or holding power of the glue (but would negate the ability to fit gaiters Accurate metric measurements and a snug fit are essential to the success of the Easycare Glue-On , and it is recommended the fit kit is used to determine size when possible.

The Easycare Glue-On hoof boot is suitable for horses with slightly longer than wide hooves who need a reliable boot for endurance events, competitive trail rides, multi-day rides/ holidays or any occasion where the horse needs a low maintenance hardware free hoof boot. Width and length measurements need to fit within one size to work correctly.

The Glue-On is not suitable for horses with flared or wider than long hooves, or riders who want a boot that can be reused .
