Materials:
To date, we are not aware
of any boots with the same value of materials. All of the materials used in
EquiFit products are hand-crafted in the USA at their manufacturing facility in
Dedham, MA* allowing for quality assurance throughout the production process.
* with the exception of our Luxe™ line, manufactured in France
The Unique T-Boot Shape:
Most boots today are injection (or machine) molded with neoprene liners. By contrast, each T-Boot is hand-molded and lined with the highest quality T-Foam. Since the T-Foam insert actually does the contouring, T-Boots do not need the extreme contour of molded parts on other boots.
Fitting T-Boots:
T-Boots fit differently than standard neoprene horse boots. Reacting to body heat and pressure, T-Foam™ flows and molds to fit the exact anatomy of any horse’s legs, creating a custom fit boot, every time it’s worn. Contrary to traditional boots that are worn loosely, T-Boots must have a snug fit. This may make it seem like the boots are “too small,” but that is not the case. If you own a pair of T-Boots that are slipping or there is a space between the liner and the horse’s ankle, don’t hesitate to tighten them up to maintain proper fit and ensure that they are working properly.
T-Boot Fitting Tips
Overall Fit
-
Unlike standard neoprene boots, T-Boots are designed to fit snugly.
-
Reacting to body heat and pressure, T-Foam softens and molds to fit the exact anatomy of any horse’s legs, creating a custom fit boot, every time it’s worn.
Elastic Straps & Closure Adjustability
Temperature and Boot Fit
-
T-Foam is temperature-sensitive and in cold conditions T-Foam liners may lose pliability.
-
If this occurs, warm liners indoors or by using body heat before applying to the leg.
-
As the T-Foam warms, it will soften - after a few minutes, check the T-Boots and re-adjust fit as needed.
