If the width is 1/4" (6mm) or more narrower than the length (from toe to the buttress line), the Slim version is required to ensure a secure, non-slip fit.Q: Can these boots be used over metal shoes?A: No, these boots are designed specifically for barefoot horses. Using them over metal shoes will void the warranty and can cause premature wear or damage to the internal TPU sole.Q: Do these boots require a break-in period?A: Yes, because of the genuine leather construction, we recommend limiting the first few uses to about 20 minutes to allow the leather to soften and conform to your horse’s unique shape.Item Number/SKU: 11-4181-1
