Easyboots can be worn in place of a lost shoe, or even over metal shoes for additional protection, traction and cushioning on rocks or hard ground. These boots are ideal for horses with laminitis, founder, abscesses and other hoof related medical problems. Made from durable urethane and in sizes to fit most horses, these boots will outlast any metal shoe.

- Pack trips
- Multi-day rides
- Endurance events
- Competitive trail rides (Most CTR’s do not allow boots that come above the coronary band.)
- Speed events, such as barrel racing
- Any circumstance where the presence of hardware is a concern

These boots are meant to be disposable, used once or twice and then thrown away. Glue left on the inside of the boot may affect performance. We do not recommend that a boot be left on for more that ten (10) days in a dry environment or five (5) days in a humid environment.

Our equine friends often suffer skeletal structure injuries due to their losing footing on greasy or hard surfaces. This sudden hyper-extension of the limbs can cause serious spinal, joint and/or ligament damage. Riders too, are often injured as a result of a horse losing its footing and falling on its rider. The traction offered in Old Mac's unique high-tech performance outsole helps ensure a safe ride for you and your horse.



The Old Mac's Generation 2 is a fine tuned version of its popular predecessor, re-engineered for a sleeker look, improved performance and greater longevity. One of its most positive features is a new tread pattern that provides aggressive traction while eliminating pressure on sensitive internal hoof structures. the G2 provides cushioning at the sole while allowing the tread to "take hold" of the road or any other challenging surface.

Another enhancement of the sole is the removal of the point at the toe. The G2 tread is rounded for a natural breakover.

For horses whose foot is too narrow to fit into the Old Mac's, there is good news! the shape of the sole on the G2 is different than the original. The new shape is slightly longer than wide and will fit a greater percentage of horses' feet. this is an important feature that will allow more horses to wear the boots comfortably and without inserts.

By integrating the side flaps with the new sole and adding a front protective shield, Old mac's has made the G2 more stylish and streamlined. The side flap integration narrows the boot, and reduces the amount of bulk over the foot.

The new front protective shield prevents wear at the front of the boot.

the rear of the boot is now reinforced and integrated with the sole. This design change strengthens the rear of the boot and eliminates the possibility of fitting the boot on a hoof that is too long.

It is important to match the width and length of the hoof to the Horse Boot size. The front hooves of most horses tend to be more round and wider than the hind hooves. The best fit may require a smaller size for the hind.

How to get the correct size boot for your horse:

-Measure the width of the hoof across the bottom at the widest point.

-Measure the length of the hoof from the toe to the buttress line of the heel.The buttress line is the farthest weight bearing point of the heel.

-Compare your measurement with the proper size chart

Ideally, the width and length measurement will fit into the same Horse Boot™ size. If the width and length measurements indicate different sizes, select the larger size.

Proper Hoof Measurement:

If the foot is dirty or you have trouble visualizing the butress line, the bottom of the foot can be lightly rasped or brushed until the hoof wall is clear. The ideal situation is where you can get 2 measurements, one before and one right after trimming. This will tell you how much growth to expect between trimmings.

Measuring Length:

Generally speaking, the length is the most important measurement when booting, and the mesurement that is most often misunderstood. A horse is measured from the toe to the butress line, which is the last weight bearing surface of the foot, where the hoof wall ends. A ruler should be placed at the toe, and run straight down the center of the hoof. If the heel bulbs are included in the measurement, the boot will be much too large.
If you plan on using the boot over the shoe, you should measure to the back of the shoe.

Measuring Width:
The widest part of the foot should be measured, straight across the hoof. Sometimes this is forward or behind the centerline. If the foot is chipped badly, estimate where the hoof should be.
If the horse is between sizes, go with the larger size.

Beacuse every boot size has a different shape, there are instances where some boots fit better than others. Easyboots, Epics and Boas fit a more elongated, oval foot, where Old Mac's are often better for rounder, shorter feet.

We do not recommend the boots if:-They choose Old Mac's and the hoof width is one or more sizes larger than the length OR the length exceeds the width by more than 4 sizes.
-Boa's, Easyboot or Epics are chosen and and the width is one or more sizes larger than the length OR the length exceeds the width by 2 or more sizes.

Common misconceptions about sizing:
1) Horse boots are sized about the same as horseshoes.

This is incorrect.Horse boots vary greatly and each requires an accurate measurement of the foot. Most boot sizes have a fixed length and much of the measurement is based on length rather than width.

2. Length is measured from the toe to "That part that I can see at the end of teh foot" (the bulb).

Length is measured from the toe to the butress line. Including the bulb will cause a boot to be much too large.

3. Every foot is the same size, so I'll just measure one foot

It is not unusual to have the hind feet be one size smaller than the front feet, or the front feet to be slightly different than each other. Each foot that is booted needs to be accurately measured.

4. I can just trace my horses feet to get an accurate measurement

It is better to pick up the foot and measure with a ruler than to take a tracing. A tracing usually adds at least 1/8" to the measurement (which could put you into another boot size) and many people trace around the heel bulbs which makes the measurement very inaccurate.

5.If my horse wears a #1 Easyboot, he will wear a #1 Boa.

Every boot is sized differently.
