Still have questions?
Can I fit the Goodsmith hoof boot myself?
Fitting our Hufschuh is not difficult.
Nevertheless, we recommend having the Hufschuh fitted by a hoof care professional.
Here is a map with practitioners, who already use our products.
However, there are also situations where no practitioner is available, or where the rider has trained themselves.
In these cases, we are of course happy to assist!
Does the hoof boot work on rotating hooves?
In normal cases, yes. Because the Hufschuh is made to measure for the horse's hoof, your horse has a secure fit in the shoe, even with twisting movements. The shoe can additionally be reinforced with spikes to minimise wear on the base plate.
Can I use the hoof boot with a club foot?
In normal cases, yes. Because the hoof boot is custom-fitted to the horse's hoof, it can also be used on a club foot. Since the hoof sits more upright in the boot, you should make sure the front straps are buckled so the pressure is distributed across the whole hoof and not only on the top strap.
For a detailed assessment, you are also welcome to send us pictures of the hooves.
Can the hoof boot also be combined with the rehab base plate?
Yes. The rehab base plate can also be used with the hoof boot.
Can the hoof boot be worn permanently?
Our hoof boot is not designed for permanent attachment to the hoof. If your horse needs permanent hoof protection, our glue-on shoe is the right choice instead.
For therapeutic purposes it is possible to leave the hoof boot on for longer periods. However, this should always be coordinated with the treating vet or farrier.
Custom-fitted. Removable. Light.
Why a customisable hoof boot?
A removable hoof protection that actively supports the natural hoof movement? That is exactly what the Goodsmith Hufschuh stands for. It is precisely fitted to the individual hoof by your Goodsmith partner. No compromise with off-the-shelf goods, but a custom-fitted shoe that truly fits your horse.
Perfect fit.
Customisable. Truly.
The Goodsmith Hufschuh consists of several individual parts. Starting with the base plate, each part is adapted to the shape of the hoof and the specific hoof situation.
Perfect fit means:
no twisting, no chafing, no compromises. Hoof boots for every hoof!
Replaceable
Thanks to the modular design, all parts of the hoof boot can be ordered and replaced individually. This minimises wear and is easy on the wallet.
Perfect fit
Most hoof boots are good. But few fit exactly to your horse's hoof. Thanks to individual adjustment, our boots are always custom-made.
From the professional for you
Your farrier or hoof care professional adjusts the hoof boot to your horse's needs. As with our glue-on horseshoe, the individual hoof situation can also be taken into account.
