The Shires Pull-On Ribbed Bell Boots provide a permanent, 360-degree shield that stays exactly where you need it, no matter how deep the mud or how fast the gallop.Engineered for the rigorous demands of cross-country and daily turnout, these boots are crafted from premium 4mm thick natural gum rubber for maximum durability. The specialized ribbed exterior is a technical innovation designed to deflect shock waves and absorb the impact of heavy strikes, ensuring your horse's delicate heel bulbs and coronary bands remain protected through every stride and jump.Key Features & Specifications:Frequently Asked Questions:Q: Why should I choose pull-on bell boots over Velcro alternatives?A: Pull-on boots are the gold standard for security; because they lack fasteners, they cannot be undone by mud, water, or pasture mates, making them the most reliable choice for 24/7 turnout and high-impact disciplines like Eventing.Q: How do I ensure I have the correct size for my horse?A: For the perfect "stay-put" fit, the boot should be snug around the pastern and hang just above the ground at the back of the heel without touching. Our high-stretch rubber is designed to "snap" back to shape once applied, preventing the boot from shifting during movement.Q: Are these boots durable enough for daily use in wet conditions?A: Absolutely. The 4mm natural gum rubber is specifically chosen for its resilience against water, mud, and debris, ensuring the boots won't degrade or lose their protective integrity even with daily exposure to the elements.Item Number/SKU: 87689BLKL
