Now that the Easyboot Glove Power Strap mold is complete we are working on packaging and installation instructions. I'm not sure yet but we may introduce the Power Strap in colors. Colors will give people the option to color code boots for each horse. In addition because the Easyboot Glove is super low profile and close fitting it's hard to see boots on a horse. The colors will allow the boots to stand out if you want.
I don't believe we will ever offer any of our hoof boot designs in colors. Colors complicate inventory, increase inventory carrying costs for manufacturer and dealers, increase inventory delays and out of stock situations and in the end drive up product costs. I believe in the old Henry Ford motto "Any color-so long as it's black".
Colored power straps allow consumers to have some color options without the negative inventory ramifications caused by colors. Here are a couple photos with some test colors. If you like the idea of colors or would like to see another color please let me know.
Hi Garrett
Love the idea of colours, I realise that it would be a pain from a manufacturing and supply point of view but what FUN it would be to have a kaleidoscope of colours in all the power straps on the 4 boots.

Just had a fun thought - why not a sparkly power strap? Lots of different coloured dots or stars. Must be the girl in me. You can tell I have no idea what is involved in manufacturing this product. :)

Does the power strap change the booting up process on the Gloves?

A bright colour definately helps when trying to locate a lost boot in a large field

Its a great idea. That way I can keep track of which boot for which hoof. Lets get them in stock riding time is upon us.

Don't forget a hunter green color!

I love the idea of the colors - especially the bright orange. I've used hunter orange duct tape wrapped around the outside of my Boa boots to help see that they're still in place, or find them if they've (rarely) come off. I also like the idea of color-coding for each horse.
