  • Set of 9 shells to help choose the correct size Easyboot Glove or Glue-on.
  • Usually available to hire from retailers, or used by hoof care professionals to help with sizing.

The new Easyboot Glove and Easyboot Glue-On horse boots represent a revolution in hoof boot design. They are lightweight, simple and fit the hoof like a second skin. As these hoof boots do not have any hardware or fastenings, achieving a good close fit is more important than ever. Each shell has only 4mm 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 Easycare Fit Kit is the ideal way to quickly and easily determine which size Glove or Glue On is the best fit. The Fit Kit allows trimmers, farriers or consumers to fit their horses feet correctly before ordering, to ensure a perfect fit first time and preventing wasted time and money trying many different sizes.

The shell used in both the Easyboot Glove and Glue-On is flexible and has a great deal of stretch, the boot should be a close fit, and it is very useful to be able to try one size down (or up) from the measured size to ensure the best size for the hoof. Although taking the measurements is a good start to check if the shape and size of a horses hoof should fit one of the new boots, the Fit Kit is the only way to properly determine the correct size.
