In short
Yes, you can adjust the side pieces to a certain extent, for example shorten them, but only so far that there is still room for at least two screws side by side. The screws should be vertical, otherwise the heel strap can come loose.

Yes, you can adjust the side sections of the Goodsmith hoof boot to a certain extent, for example by shortening them. However, there are important points to consider in order to ensure the safety and stability of the hoof boot.
- The screws in the side section should be vertical.
If they are at an angle, there is a risk that the heel strap could come loose. - The side section can be shortened, but only as far as
still leaving room for at least two screws side by side.
If you adjust the side sections, work carefully and afterward check that all screws are correctly seated and the heel strap is securely fixed. If in doubt, it's a good idea to consult your hoof trimmer or our customer service.
