Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I am getting the correct fit for my horse?
A: A properly sized boot should follow the "One-Finger Rule"—you should be able to slide exactly one finger snugly between the boot and the cannon bone. For general sizing, Small fits 14–14.3 hands, Medium fits 15–15.3 hands, and Large fits 16–16.3 hands.

Q: Why is 11 oz Hermann Oak leather better than synthetic materials for daily use?
A: Hermann Oak leather is the gold standard for durability and breathability. Unlike synthetic boots that can trap heat and cause tendon strain, this 11 oz leather allows the leg to breathe while molding to the horse's anatomy for a custom, "second-skin" feel that improves with every ride.
