Some hoof boots require a break-in period. Short sessions. Gradually increasing wear time. Softening materials so they mold to the hoof. Flex Boots are designed differently. Instead of relying on materials that need time to soften, Flex Boots use flexible TPU and soft components that adapt immediately to the horse’s movement. No soaking. No conditioner. No gradual break-in period. Just natural movement from the first ride. #FlexHoofBoots #BarefootHorse #HoofBoots #FinnishDesign

If the toe doesn’t reach the front of the boot, the fit isn’t right. In this fitting example, the initial boot size didn’t allow the hoof to seat fully forward. By switching to a larger size in a Wide model, the hoof was able to: • seat fully into the boot • eliminate air gaps • allow the toe to sit at the front where it belongs When the hoof is properly seated, everything works better: ✔ strap placement ✔ breakover ✔ comfort ✔ movement Boot fitting isn’t about forcing a size to work.

Flex Boots are not just straps and a shell. Every component has a specific role: • The shell isn’t just shaped like a hoof, it’s built to function like one • The TPU gaiter anchors the fastening system at the back of the hoof • The neoprene gaiter protects the leg from rubbing • The pastern strap secures around the pastern with safety release • The back strap holds the boot in place without restricting expansion When assembled correctly, the system works together as one.

Which hoof is healthier? Look closely, the difference isn’t cosmetic. A mismatch between the pastern and hoof angles, a rounded or flared hoof wall, and a low, forward heel are all signs the hoof is under stress. These distortions change how the limb loads, affect comfort, and alter movement over time. The healthier hoof shows what we aim for: ✔️ Straight hoof pastern axis ✔️ Straight, supportive hoof wall ✔️ Heels at an anatomically correct height and position Healthy form supports healthy func

Putting Flex Boots on your horse should feel easy - and comfortable for the horse from the very first step. Here’s the simple, correct way to do it: ✔ Start with a clean hoof ✔ Slide the hoof fully into the boot and check the toe is all the way in ✔ Fasten the pastern strap so two fingers fit comfortably under it ✔ Tuck the excess strap into the neoprene loops ✔ Fasten the back strap with one finger tightness (no extra holes inside the leg, one spare outside) A well-fitted boot is secure, comfor

Rivets can occasionally get damaged - most often when a horse overreaches and steps on the back of the boot. In this video, we show how to safely remove a damaged Flex rivet step by step. A few important things to know: • Rivets sit under the neoprene gaiter, so they don’t touch the horse’s skin • If a rivet bends, it can be removed easily • A drill is the fastest and cleanest way to remove a rivet • If you don’t have a drill, pliers also work by breaking the rivet so it can be pushed through Fl

Can you jump in Flex Boots? Yes you can! With Flex Boots on, the horse still has great proprioception, meaning it will feel the ground underneath its hooves and can therefore make informed decisions about how to use its body, how fast to go, and so on. The boots work well on most surfaces, and because they are so streamlined and lightweight, they won't feel clunky for the horse or interfere with the way your horse moves. #barefoothorse #barefootpony #barefootjumping #flexhoofboots #besthoofboots

Watching a Flex Boot come together tells you a lot about how it’s designed. 🐎 Every part has a purpose - from the flexible shell and anatomically shaped sole to the TPU gaiter and fastening system that allows the hoof to move naturally while staying securely protected. Each component is there to support comfort, correct biomechanics, and long-term soundness. Built to move the way the hoof is meant to move. #FlexHoofBoots #BarefootHorse #HoofBootsforHorses | Flex Hoof Boots

Flex Boots are super easy to use! The boot shell fits the hoof like a glove, and the two straps attach with ball rivets that even kids can open and close. There's no hook-and-loop tape, cables or tight straps to fasten, so you don't need super human strength to put Flex Boots on 😄 #trailriding #pferde #letyourhorsefeelthedifference #flexhoofboots #hoofboots #besthoofboots #nohoofnohorse #barefoothorse #barhufpferd #equitacion #hoofprotection | Flex Hoof Boots

With the EVA Pad Relief, trimming the toe area is essential for correct fit. Because this pad is thicker, leaving the toe section untrimmed can prevent the hoof from seating fully into the boot. When that happens, the built-in breakover point cannot function as designed, which may affect movement and comfort. In this video, we show: • How to use the cutting template • How to trim the pad correctly • How to trim the toe section to preserve natural breakover For the best fit and correct biomechani

Have you seen how Flex Boots come together - and why? 👀 Every part you see here, from the neoprene gaiter to the back strap and rivets, is completely replaceable. 🧩 We designed Flex Boots to be modular, so if one piece wears out or breaks, you can simply swap it for a new part instead of replacing the whole boot. That means less waste, lower cost, and longer life for every pair! Smart design. Sustainable comfort. Built to be repaired, not replaced. 🌏 #FlexHoofBoots #BarefootHorse #HorseWelfar

Let’s talk about back straps! 🐴 📍 What is it? The back strap is a key part of the Flex Boot fastening system. It secures the boot around the hoof by passing from one side of the boot, over the hollow of the pastern, to the other side. 🎥 How to adjust it: • Start by sliding the back strap through the upper slot of the TPU gaiter. (Use the lower slot only for very thin legs.) • Thread the strap through the upper adjustment holes: first under on the side, then over the TPU gaiter - the strap sho

What’s happening here 👇 • Heels have run forward • The back of the foot is pushed out • The hoof struggles to seat fully into the boot • Straps don’t sit in their intended positions because the heel bulbs are pushing everything back The boot technically goes on, but the fit isn’t optimal.
