Measuring and fitting the Easyboot Glove and Easyboot Glue-On. When to use a Fit Kit?

I’m still getting many questions about the sizing and fitting instructions for the Easyboot Glove and Easyboot Glue-On. 

Yes, the measuring and sizing for both boots is different than all the other boots in the EasyCare line.  Yes, there is only 4mm difference between sizes.  Yes, we have half sizes in both the Easyboot Glove and Easyboot Glue-On.  Both boots are new to the equestrian world and require different sizing and fitting requirements.  A size #1 in the Easyboot or Epic does not correlate to a size #1 Glove or Glue-On.

 

Here are the steps required to get the best fit when ordering an Easyboot Glove or Easyboot Glue-On.

1. Ordering Direct without a “Fit Kit”.
   1. Measure your horse’s feet.  If the width and length fit into the same size you are probably OK to order the boot (Glove or Glue-On).  If the boots don’t fit keep them clean and return them for another size. Check out the "Fit Kit" videos here. 
      
2. Ordering after fitting your horse with a “Fit Kit”
   1. If the width and length don’t fit into the same size we recommend you order a Fit Kit that is the closest to your width measurement.
   2. After the Fit Kit arrives try all three size shells and order the proper size Easyboot Glove or Easyboot Glue-On.

Other helpful tips.

1. If your horse’s feet a wide or don’t seem to fit the measurements of the Easyboot Glove or Easyboot Glue-On, order a Fit Kit.  The shell of the Glove and Glue-On are very flexible and actually fit both wide and narrow feet well.
2. If you don’t have a good fit using the Fit Kit the Easyboot Glove or Easyboot Glue-On may not be right for your horse.  EasyCare has many other boot styles to choose from. 
3. Don’t assume that your horse will wear the same size as he does in another EasyCare hoof boot.  If you take this route the boots will not fit!
4. The Easyboot Glove and Easyboot Glue-On work best for horses that have a barefoot trim.  Low heels, little to no flare.
