The Easyboot Glove and Easyboot Glue-Ons have been a huge success in the equine industry in less than six months after launch! Both products have been on the market a very short time and success stories continue to roll in as fast as we can post them.
With the success has also come requests for larger boots. For those of you requesting larger boots, I have good news. I just approved drawings for the #3.5 and #4 Easyboot Glove and Easyboot Glue-On. Molds will start next week and we should see first samples in three to four weeks.
G: Will these have the thicker toe....? Put me down for a set.

I am anxiously waiting for gloves for a round footed horse. I need something easier for my arthritic hands to put on.
Please, please, please we need boots for round footed horses. Old Macs are too clumsy and stretch out of shape after a few muddy rides. I don't trust Boa boots to stay on.
Thanks,
Teresa

I am so excited - my wideload , big hooved WB gelding wears # 4 Epics. I am sincerely hoping that at least a # 4 Glove will fit him. Keeping finger & toes (and hooves, if he'll cooperate) crossed that he won't need a 4.5....;-)
I have another client who's been waiting for bigger sizes too :-)One is a Haflinger mare who does not fit in # 3s.

Chris- Yes, they will be thicker in the toe and lower wall area.

The #3.5 and #4 will be the same shape as the smaller sizes. We are looking at doing a more wide pattern as we go bigger (4+). We are also looking at doing a wide pattern for the complete line.

Ute- The #4 Epic and #4 Glove will be a bit different. I'm sorry to say that the #4 Epic will be bigger than the #4 Glove. I hope it will be big enough for your horse but I don't know for sure. Regardless we will be adding additional sizes soon. #4.5, #5, #5.5 and #6.

Those of you who have round-hooved horses... have you TRIED the glove/glue-on shells yet? My horse has one front foot that is perfectly round, and his hind feet are wider than they are long. He is successfully using Gloves and Glue-ons (Gloves for training, glue-ons did a 100-mile ride last weekend that you'll read about here tomorrow). The boot material is very stretchy and I'm getting an incredible fit!! I don't even really need Power Straps, though I do have them on the front Gloves.

Now we also need SMALLER...I have several ponies and minis (the later for driving on roads in parades and such that need protection) in my trimming clients that need the old EB pony and mini sizes...
And yes, I find the gloves will adapt to many foot shapes, esp with help of add-ons like the power strap or sport tape. Though there still isn't much that will work on a straight-walled (donkey/mule type foot) foot. A glueon can help as the glue will take up space, but for 1-day rides is not as practical...

Need boots to fit a draft horse. He's in between sizes 5/6 of the Bares where the 5 is too small and the 6 he's swimming in even with the insert pads. It would be great if the boot selections would crossover in size. His hooves are more rounded as well. Frustrating as he needs boots but can't find any to fit.
