⚡ At a Glance
- • Protection: Flexible natural rubber absorbs impact and reduces overreach injuries
- • Best for: Schooling, turnout, hacking, jumping and cross-country
- • Not ideal for: Riders who need rigid, heavy-duty tendon support
Soft, flexible bell boots made from premium natural rubber, sold in pairs. Double lock Velcro gives a secure fit while boots remain machine washable at low temperature.
Reliable impact protection – Thanks to ribbed non-rubbing natural rubber shell
Ribbed shell constructed from a premium natural rubber compound uses an original Italian formula to combine flexibility with durable surface protection. The softer rubber is less rigid than conventional overreach boots so it cushions blows while reducing abrasive contact.
Absorbs knocks from overreach without creating hotspots, making the boots suitable for frequent schooling and everyday turnout.
Secure fit for front and hind hooves – With double lock Velcro closure
Double lock Velcro fastening locks the strap in position and the shape is designed to accommodate both front and hind hoof profiles. A soft, flexible fit helps maintain contact without chafing.
Stays in place through schooling and hacking, reducing the chance of boots slipping or being pulled off by shoes.
Hassle-free maintenance – With machine-washable rubber construction
Boots can be machine washed at a low temperature after securing all Velcro and attaching clip straps; washing inside a wash bag is recommended. Air drying only, and avoid exposure to heat sources to preserve the rubber compound.
Easy to clean after turnout or muddy sessions, helping keep boots hygienic and prolonging usable life.
