Frequently asked questions
What is the Emergency Boot Kit for?
The Emergency Boot Kit offers reliable hoof protection when you accidentally lose a boot or shoe whilst out riding.
How do I put the boot on in an emergency?
The Emergency Boot Kit contains everything necessary to put the boot on without difficulty. You only need to prepare the hoof a little first, with the Penguin multi-tool you can clean the sole and file the hoof if necessary. Then you can put the boot on; using the Allen key, also contained in the Penguin multi-tool, you can then easily position the screws where desired for a really good fit.
How do I measure the hoof to determine the size?
You must measure the width and length of the unshod hooves a few days after they have been cut. If you have any doubts about how to do this, consult our taking measurements section
I already have the measurements, what size does my horse need?
The size chart shows a range of measurements for each size. These measurements correspond to the width and length of the hoof. Find the size that fits using these measurements.
What happens if I receive the boots and they are not the correct size for my horse?
You can change them if they’re not the right size. To ensure they are not damaged in any way, they cannot be changed if they are, you can put the hoof in a thin plastic bag like a sock when you first try them, placing a piece of cardboard or carpet under the sole. If you need to change the size, email us at info@floatingboots.es
Is this boot suitable for irregular-shaped hooves, underrun heels, contracted or asymmetric hooves?
Yes, the Trainer 2019 offers you the possibility of adjustment through heat application, so it can be specially adapted to fit any hoof shape.
What colours are available?
The Trainer model comes in all black. Personalisation is possible through easily interchangeable spare parts in other colours.
Are all parts of the boot replaceable?
Yes, all parts are replaceable. You can find out how to order new parts in the Trainer 2019 instruction guide.
Can I use a P size (rear-fitting) for my horse’s front hooves?
Yes, P size generally fits rear hooves better due to their typically more elongated shape, however, there are some horses where this is also true of the front hooves.
How long do the boots last?
Floating Boots soles are manufactured from polyurethane and high-resistance natural rubber, with a lifetime of up to around 1000km. As always, this is dependent on a number of factors, such as the horse’s weight, the type of ground being ridden on, etc…
What type of sole is included in the Emergency Boot Kit?
Sport type sole is supplied with the Emergency Boot as it the most versatile and has the best grip over all types of ground.
