Which Boot? The Easyboot Epic or the Easyboot Bare

Very often the question asked is:  What is the difference between the Easyboot Bare and the Easyboot Epic.

First of all, let's give the similarities of the two boots: 

1. The boots fit below the hairline.
2. The sizing of the two boots are the same. 
3. Semi-aggressive treads. 
4. Used by endurance riders. 
5. Can be used for simple trail riding or over 25 miles per week or ride.
6. Have been tested in extreme conditions with over 250 miles and outwear traditional shoes 3 to 1. 
7. Come with gaiters attached.  The gaiters are adjusted to fit properly. 
8. The hardware is interchangeable and it is very easy to convert your Easyboot Epic into a Easyboot Bare or vice versa.
9. The up-buckle can be used on both boots.   
10. Now come with the low profile comfort strap.

The differences are:

• 1. Different tread patterns--The sole of the EasyBoot Bare is patterned after the barefoot horse.  It flexes and gives very much like the bare hoof.
• 2. Closure systems--The EasyBoot Epic has the standard buckle and cable system.  The EasyBoot Bare has a bungee system that applies constant pressure to the hoof.
• 3. Flexibility for the barefoot horse.--The Easyboot Bare is designed to stretch and flex, mimicking the movements of the naturally bare hoof.
• 4. Ease of application—The EasyBoot Bare is a little harder to apply than the standard EasyBoot Epic, however the EasyBoot Bare will provide a simple, close-fitting boot that constantly adjusts to the hoof.
