Re: [RC] [RC] [RC] Hoof boots - Ravenknows fess up!!would love to get a hold of a pair of Renegades myself...if anyone Hi Juli, Here's what I know. I was told that they are currently not available to the general public. When they are ready to sell, you will need to buy them through a natural hoof trimmer. They are $150.00 (per pair) + shipping. Seems like a bit much for a product that is still being "tested". The boots like and look like "jelly shoes"....remember those? To me, the bottom felt oily...shiny. I didn't like the fact that the bottom was hinged like clam. IMHO...if you didn't line the hinged part correctly, you might have a gap between the heel section and the "gaiter" section, which would allow dirt into the boot. I also didn't like the fact that the only thing that holds the boot on are two velcor straps. What happens when the velcor gets dirtier and useless? They did send an extra velcor strap, but how often will you need to replace them? A few months ago, when I called the company to ask how many miles I would get out of a boot, I was told about 500 miles. I think this may be less than Easy Care??? I did not try these boots, only looked at them and put them on my horse. They were too big. When I ordered the pair, I requested purple or black. They sent a ugly maroon color. Was told that the purple fades quickly to black in sunny conditions. I did fact the fact that they were easy to put on. Open them up, place on hoof, velcor down and go. I decided to go with Easy Care Epics instead. I have more confidence in a proven product. Should you decide to try a pair, please do report back to us.
