Please Note, you must select the style of boot you require - standard or wide.

The new Easyboot Glove horse boots represent a revolution in hoof boot design. They are lightweight and simple, and fit the hoof seamlessly.

Because these new boots have no hardware or fastening systems, achieving a good fit is more important than ever. And because proper fit is so vital, Easycare decided it would be best to offer these boots in half sizes.

Each shell has only four millimeters of width difference between the next shell size. This tight gap between sizes helps ensure a snug fit, but it also means that there is little room for error in measuring and determining the proper size of boot.

The Fit Kit allows consumers to fit their horse’s feet in the Glove shell before ordering, to ensure the best fit possible without the hassle and wasted time of buying and returning multiple boots. Pre-fitting in the shell will ensure a perfect fit in the Easyboot Glove.

The shell used in the Easyboot Glove is flexible and has a great deal of stretch. Although taking hoof measurements is a great starting point for fitting any hoof boot, the Fit Kit will allow you to see for certain if a new range fits your horse’s feet well, and exactly which size fits best.

EPS sends out the three shell sizes close to the measurement you require so please add the sizes required in the delivery instructions at checkout.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The price charged is a deposit on the easycare fit kit only. When the boots are returned within 14 days of receipt (clean and dry with no items missing, dirty or broken) you will be refunded £45 (£50 less £5 admin fee). Please note you will be responsible for returning them to us at your cost, and we are not able to refund you until the kit is received by us so we do recommend a recorded method of postage. Easycare fit kits that are returned to us with parts missing, broken or dirty will be refunded less the cost to put them right again.

The EasyCare Fit Kit is for the Easyboot Glove and Easyboot Glue-On only. Sizing on both of these boots is different than other boots in the EasyCare line. If your horse wears a #1 Easyboot Epic the Easyboot Glove size will most likely be a #1, #1.5 or a #2. The important point to remember is that the Glove and Glue-On have totally different sizing from any of our other boots.

1. First, measure your horse’s feet:
   
   • 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 (see illustrations).
2. Compare your measurement with the Easyboot Glove/Easyboot Glue-On size chart below. Please note all Easyboot Glove and Easyboot Glue-On size charts are in millimeters only.
3. Your measurments will determine which size fit kit you need.* For example, if your horse’s hoof measurements call for a size #1.5, order a #1.5 EasyCare Fit Kit. A #1.5 Fit kit comes with the following size shells #1, #1.5 and #2. *Keep in mind that most horses require larger boots on the front feet. You may need to order two EasyCare Fit Kits, one kit to accommodate front feet and one to accommodate the rear feet.
4. When the boots arrive, try them on the horse’s feet to determine the perfect boot size.
5. Determing the proper size:
   
   • The perfect boot size can be pushed on the hoof.
   • The boot will be snug around the hoof wall and no gaps will appear. All portions of the shell will be below the hairline. The boot should fit snug and will be difficult to pull off even without glue.
6. Record the proper boot size.
7. If none of the boots in the Fit Kit fit the feet well, the Easyboot Glove and Easyboot Glue-On boots may not be right for your horse. We are working on molds to fit wide feet and fitting methods to fit non-traditional feet.
   If the boots become dirty or muddy, please rinse them off and dry them thoroughly (to avoid mold in shipping) as a courtesy to our staff.
 

EasyCare Fit Kit Tips

What should you look for in a good fit?

1. The perfect boot size can be pushed on the hoof, but It should take a bit of effort. You should feel the shell flex as it goes over the hoof.
2. The boot will be snug around the hoof wall and no gaps will appear. All portions of the shell will be below the hairline.
3. The V at the front of the shell should expand like the shell in the photo.
   It should be very difficult to fit a hoof pick between the shell and the hoof.
4. The boot should fit snug and will be difficult to pull off the hoof. A good fit will give you the impression that the shell will stay on the foot without glue or without a gaiter. It should fit like a “Glove”.
5. The hairline at the heel of the horse should be no more than 1/2 an inch above the shell. Keep in mind that if the shell fits over or close to the rear hairline, you can always trim your boots down. (Please do not trim the Fit Kit boots!)

What should you look for in a poor fit?

1. Gaps (small or large) can be seen between the upper boot portion and the hoof.
2. The V in the front of the shell does not expand. Viewing the photo below the V on the left boot has failed to expand (poor fit). The V on the right has expanded and is a good fit.
3. A long heel (a heel that measures more than 1/2 an inch above the shell at the rear hairline). A horse with long heels may have success with the Easyboot Glue-On shell but will not have success with the Easyboot Glove.

What can you do to turn a bad fit into a good fit?

1. Have your horse trimmed by a farrier or hoof care professional. Make sure they are conscious about barefoot trimming methods, toe length and heel length.
2. Chances are good that after trimming you will have success with the Fit Kit.
   Some feet are not the right shape and don’t have the correct angles for the Easyboot Glove and Easyboot Glue-On.
