The Easyboot Glue-On shell has been a great project and has changed my view of hoof boots tremendously. The flexible upper of the glue-on shell adapts to different shaped feet and most often fits like a second skin over the hoof. The slim profile of the shell adds very minimal to the width of the hoof and very little to the front of the hoof. In my opinion it's the least obtrusive full coverage horse boot available.
Reaction to the Easyboot Glue-On has been fantastic but consumers want the features of the glue-on with out the glue process. The Easyboot Glue-On with Gaiter is the answer. The gaiter is designed to attach to a glue-on shell and the boot can then be used on the hoof without glue. The design of the glue-on shell still stretches and hugs the foot while the addition of the gaiter keeps it on the hoof rather than the adhesive. No buckles or straps make it quick and easy to apply and remove.
Over the past 4 months I have put several hundred miles on different horses fitted with the Easyboot Glue-On with Gaiter. Performance with the gaiter is very similar to when the shell is fitted with an adhesive. Weight is minimal, bulk is minimal and they stay in place. Yes, it looks way too simple but the design works better than I ever imagined.
Lisa and I did a ride this afternoon with three different hoof boot designs. One horse was fitted with Easyboot Glue-On's in the front and Easyboot Glue On's with Gaiter in the rear. The other horse had Easyboot Glue-On's with Gaiters in the front and Bare's in the rear. The majority of the three hour ride was trotting and cantering with a bit of walking. Of the three designs the Glue-On with Gaiter performed the best.
I believe the Glue-On with Gaiter will end up being the most popular boot design manufactured by EasyCare.
Why is there no price listed for the easy boot glue on?

Are they flexible enough for a horse without a typical hoof shape. I have one with genetic deformities to the fronts. Currently wear bares (with gaiters), but her foot is wider than long, so fitting is iffy at best.
