Can the Heel Strap Be Shortened?

Yes, you can shorten the heel strap of the Goodsmith hoof boot.

The heel strap is anchored in the side section with screws. When shortening it, it's important that there is room for at least two screws side by side in the attachment area. Only this way is the stability and security of the connection maintained.

Proceed as follows:

• With the strap fitted, mark how much needs to be shortened
• Make sure not to cut too close to the screw area
• After shortening, check whether two screws side by side can be securely placed

If you are unsure how much you can shorten, it's better to leave a bit more material or consult your hoof trimmer or our customer service.
