The most frequently asked questions and their answers are listed below.  However, we have learned most horse owners want answers to questions specific to their horses and themselves.  That is why we ask that you please contact us with your questions before and after you purchase. 

Telephone us at: 520-455-5164.  email: hoofwings@horsesneaker.com.


Disclaimer

If your Hoofwings do not fit contact us as soon as possible.  Together we can find a solution.  We may ask that you redraw the outlines and re-measure to compare the new information with the original.  If the outlines or measurements have changed then we may recommend a different size or suggest socks or shims.  Alternatively, mail the Hoofwings back.  We will sell them and refund the amount they sell for to you.

How long do they last?

The short answer is we are not able to predict how long your boots will last.  A longer answer is that horses used on pavement or other abrasive terrain will wear their boots out faster.  The weight of the horse and rider will affect the rate of wear.  The way a horse moves will affect how the boots wear.

We have reports from customers that are surprised how long their boots are lasting.  Some are disappointed their boots did not last longer.

HorseSneakers can be resurfaced and repaired.  Hoofwings are affordable and can be repaired but not resurfaced.


How much do they cost?

Prices for HorseSneakers are on the HorseSneakers page of this web site.  Scroll down the page a little to see the prices.  Hoofwing prices are on the Hoofwings page.  Scroll down to see the prices.


When do I use my HorseSneakers/Hoofwings?

When you ride or drive on pavement; when your horse is ouchy; when your horses hooves wear down faster than they grow; when you ride or drive on rocky ground; when you ride or drive on the side of a road. (The sides of roads are notorious for concealing items that dangerous to horses hooves). 

Hoofwings can remain on the horse's hooves 24/7 without causing the hooves to become soft.


When is the best time to draw the outlines?

You can draw the outlines of your horses hooves when it is convenient for you.  Just tell us when your horse's hooves were trimmed and when you drew the outlines.

What are the differences between HorseSneakers and Hoofwings?

HorseSneakers are custom made.  It's hard to beat a custom made product.  HorseSneakers can be used for high performance riding.  They can be resurfaced. They can be made in different colors and with many options. (See photo album page).

HorseSneakers are made from measurements, outlines and sometimes we ask for photos of your horses hooves 

Hoofwings are made in different sizes.  Custom colors are available.  They are easier to order and faster to have delivered.  They cost about half the price of HorseSneakers.  They are especially useful on horses that need hoof protection 24/7.
