Frequently Asked Questions

How do I ensure these XX-Full bell boots fit properly without causing discomfort?

Proper fit is crucial. For XX-Full, the boot should sit snugly around the pastern, allowing enough space for one or two fingers between the top rim and the pastern. The bottom back rim should just touch the ground when your horse stands naturally. This ensures maximum protection against overreaching while preventing chafing or rubbing.

How effectively do these boots protect against overreaching during high-impact activities or turnout?

The Shires Overreach Equine Bell Boots are specifically designed for robust protection. The 6mm thick rubber material and full coverage shield the hooves, pasterns, coronary band, and heel bulbs from injuries caused by the hind feet striking the front feet (overreaching). They perform exceptionally well during jumping, fast riding, and daily turnout, minimizing the risk of pulled shoes and painful impacts.

How long can I expect these boots to last, especially with frequent exposure to tough conditions?

These boots are built for longevity. Constructed from durable 6mm rubber, they are designed to withstand significant impact, mud, water, and constant use. The rubber-covered touch-close fastenings are also engineered for maximum durability and security, ensuring they remain effective even in challenging equestrian environments.

Will these boots cause rubbing or sores on my horse, particularly with sensitive skin?

While durable, the design aims for minimal irritation. The key to preventing rubbing is achieving a correct fit (as outlined in the first Q&A). An improperly sized or loose boot is more likely to cause friction. Ensure the boot is not too tight, but snug enough to prevent excessive movement, allowing for both protection and comfort.

How well do these bell boots stay securely in place during vigorous activities?

The Shires Overreach Bell Boots feature reliable rubber-covered touch-close fastenings, engineered to keep the boots securely in position. When fastened correctly, they are designed to stay put during a wide range of activities, from intense training sessions and competitions to everyday turnout, giving you confidence that your horse remains protected.
