Boa Tips for sand and mud

Boa Horse Boots use a cable and knob system to tighten the boot around the horses hoof.  The Boa system is a wonderful system that is used in many different types of outdoor footwear.  In addition to our Boa Horse Boot, you can find the Boa Closure System on snowboard boots, cycling shoes, running shoes, hockey skates, In-line skates and weight belts. 

We have found the Boa Closure System to work very well, but have seen a bit of trouble when the boot is used in extremely sandy or muddy conditions.  In sandy and muddy conditions the cable sometimes binds in the lace guide area after being plugged with sand or grit. 

Here is how to free the cable.

1.  Grab both sides of the cable where is comes out of the lace guides.  Pull the cable back and forth to remove the grit.  Keep pulling the cable back and forth until the grit is removed.  Do the same thing on the other side of the boot until the cable moves freely through both sides.
