Scoot Boots,*Pair

SCOOT BOOT SIZES DO NOT CORRESPOND TO OTHER BRANDS OF BOOTS OR TRADITIONAL STEEL SHOE SIZES. IN ORDER TO ACCURATELY SIZE YOUR HORSE, YOU MUST CAREFULLY MEASURE ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED ON THE MEASURING FOR SCOOT BOOTS PAGE.

IMPORTANT TIPS FOR USING THE SCOOT BOOT SIZING CHART:

• We recommend measuring in mm or converting measurements taken in inches to mm before referencing the sizing chart. 
• The sizing chart is designed to be referenced right after a fresh trim (no more than 2 weeks out) but it is calibrated to account for growth between trims.
• The measurements ranges in the sizing chart are designed to reflect the size of a hoof with a correct barefoot trim, meaning the hoof has a rolled toe with a strong bevel to the wall and no extra length in the toe or heel (sizing will be distorted for hooves not successfully maintained with a natural trim).
• Sizes increase in 5mm (3/16”) increments.
• Perfectly round hooves will work in both Regular and Slim sizes with the Slims serving as a half size between the Regulars.
• If you need Scoot Boots for both front and back hooves or two horses with similar measurements, we recommend starting with one pair and using it as a reference point to determine the other size that you need (see our Evaluating Scoot Boot Fit page).

 

WHAT IF MY HORSE'S MEASUREMENTS DON'T FIT NICELY IN ONE OF THE SIZE RANGES?

• General rounding rule: select the smaller boot size if you are between the size measurements. For example if your hoof length measurement is between 121mm (4 13/16”) and 124mm (4 15/16") long, select the hoof measurement of 120mm  (4 3/4”) on the chart meaning you would need size 3.
• If your horse doesn't fit nicely within one of the sizing ranges, we highly recommend using a sizing kit - we find Scoot Boots work well on many hoof shapes, but often you'll need to try a few sizing shells to see exactly which size will work best.
• For hooves that are different sizes: If your horse's two hooves have slightly different measurements (i.e. one hoof is in between sizes), select the boot size that matches the largest hoof. However, if one hoof is a full size smaller, you can purchase Scoot Boots in singles to do a mix-matched set (just let us know if you don't see the size you need in-stock for the singles and we'll move some for over you). 
• For WIDE hooves: If your horse’s hooves are 10mm (3/8") wider than long you need to select the size from the ‘maximum’ width measurement and not length measurement (for example, if your hoof length is 110mm (4/18") and width is 120mm (4 3/4"), you select size 2). However, if your horse's hooves are wider than long you may have excess flare that should be addressed by appropriate barefoot trimming practices. Excess flare may cause the sizing to be off as the measurements of the bottom of the hoof will not reflect the overall volume of the hoof, so we recommend using a sizing kit to determine the best size. If the hoof width exceeds the hoof length by more than 10mm (3/8"), then Scoot Boots may not be suitable for your horse. We've had good success fitting Scoot Boots to these extra wide hooves, but the sizing shells are necessary to determine which size will work best.
• For NARROW hooves: If the hoof length exceeds the hoof width by more than 10mm (3/8") then Scoot Boots may not be suitable for your horse and you would need to using sizing shells to determine if they will work for your horse.

Rehabilitation

Using Scoot Boots Products for Rehabilitation - An Introduction by Dave Macdonald, Creator of Scoot Boots

Hi all, and welcome to the world of rehab for horses using Scoot Boots!

When I created the Scoot Boot, it was my intention to create the world’s best performing hoof boot and we have achieved great success with our fantastic range of Scoot Boots products.

Along the way, it has been wonderful to discover how many people are achieving great results with using Scoot Boots for rehabbing their horses.

The best thing about Scoot Boots is they can be kept on for 24/7 - the hooves stay clean and dry as the horse's hoof heat works to dry out the hooves in the boots, removing the risk of bacteria build up which can cause additional issues.

Below are some of the most common injuries and ailments and how Scoot Boots can help. There is also a section here in the Stockist Hub with videos to show you how Scoot Boots have worked in real life.

It’s important to note that we are NOT a veterinary service and we do not intend to give medical advice to you about your horse. We are choosing to share this information with you based on the feedback we have received from our customers and encourage you to do your own research when investigating treatment for your animal.

Arthritis

Scoot Boots can help an arthritic horse by helping to suppress the concussion on their hooves. Because Scoot Boots are light, flexible and impact absorbing (like the sole of your sneakers) this can help your horse to feel more comfortable. You can also use socks with your Scoot Boots to help keep the area warm.

Thrush

Scoot Boots can help with this condition as they can help your horses hooves stay clean and dry when your horse is turned out and eliminate bacteria build-up. They can also be used with medication and/or wrapping and can be kept on for long periods of time.

Laminitis

It’s important for laminitic horse to be able to get their hooves into a comfortable position as this will help ease the pain and encourage movement.

Abscesses

Abscesses usually need a poultice to help with healing. The Scoot Boot is a wonderful tool to help keep the poultice in place, keeping the poultice and hoof clean.

Navicular Syndrome/Symptoms

Scoot Boots can provide pain relief for a horse with navicular symptoms as the boots minimise concussion on the hooves and allow the horse to get regular exercise. As with any horse with caudal heel pain it is vital to keep the horse exercising once the rear of the hoof has been correctly trimmed/shaped, which aids circulation.

Pedal Osteitis

Your horse can be turned out in Scoot Boots 24/7, which is great for a horse suffering from Pedal Osteitis. Scoot Boots also sell pads which can be put inside the boots to provide extra shock absorption.
