Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the SPORT and ENDURANCE models?

Endurance sole is suitable for dry ground, while the sport sole is specially designed for wet and muddy.

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

What is the difference between the Trainer 2019 and the Competition Glue-On models?

The Trainer 2019 and Competition Glue-On have exactly the same sole. The Trainer 2019 model is fitted using an elastic gaiter that allows the boot to be adjusted to the horse’s hoof, whereas the sole of the Competition Glue-On model is fixed using glue, especially for hooves, and doesn’t use gaiters or any other type of fixing.

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...

In our Competition Glue-On User’s Guide you can find all the necessary information. Also you can check our section of videos and tutorials that demonstrate the process step-by-step. You will need special hoof glue, some glue-mixing cannulas, a glue gun for the bi-component adhesive, gloves, a rasp and cling film.

What type of hoof glue will I need?

In our GLUES & SILICONE ADHESIVES section, you can choose from Floating Boots Ultrafast, Vettec Superfast or Vettec Adhere. All are recommended for use with the Competition Glue-On boot.
