Our Fit Kits can only be hired within the UK, we are not currently dispatching Fit Kits Internationally.

Description

If you hire one of our Fit Kits, we highly encourage you to send us photos/and or videos of your Fit Kit on, so we can help advise on how they fit before you purchase boots. You can email the photos to sales@hoofbootique.co.uk or contact us via Facebook Messenger. We ideally need to see photos of the hooves in each fitting shell on the ground from the front/side and heel bulb views (camera as low to the ground as possible for photo, mouse eye view). Videos can also be helpful to demonstrate how tightly fitting a particular shell is.

  • Boots are sized by actual length x width measurements.
  • Up to 3 boot shells for you to hire (mixed colours), to help determine the correct size Renegade Viper hoof boots.
  • Avoids having to send boots back and forth, saving time and money.
  • Renegade Viper Hoof Boots should not be fitted too tightly, so the shells are ideal for horses near the top-end of measurements for a particular size, to check the shell isn’t too tight.
  • Takes some of the guesswork out of fitting.

Fitting Instructions

As the Heel Captivator is the main means of boot retention, not a tight-fitting boot shell, the shell alone may allow movement/twisting while on the hoof, but this is not a problem – you are checking that the shell isn’t too tight.

A Renegade Viper which fits the hoof perfectly would of course be preferred, but somewhat loosely-fitting Vipers are just as likely to be successful in most situations. One downside to the boots fitting perfectly is they may get too tight as the hoof grows longer in between trimming cycles. Without a doubt, experience has shown that a boot which fits loosely is more stable than a boot which fits too tightly.

  • If the boot shell does not fit easily onto the hoof, or if you cannot seat the toe into the boot with a tap from the palm of your hand, the boots are too tight.
  • You also want to look for any bulging or gapping at the sides, as this can be a sign that the boot is too tight and that the hoof is pushing it out away from the hoof wall.

As hooves grow longer, they also get wider.

If the shell fits very snugly, you should consider the trimming interval of your horse and how long they grow in between trims and decide whether or not you should go up one boot size to allow for said growth.

Many boot users groom the hooves with a rasp each time before using boots which helps to maintain a good fit and promotes a healthy hoof.

If you have previously used Renegade Classic boots, then you will find the shape of the Viper shell is different. The heel area and the top third of the boot have both been pulled inwards, to create a closer fit and to prevent dirt and debris entering the boot. This means that given a proper boot size, the boot is a more snug fit than the Renegade Classic. Increased stability when sized properly is also a benefit of the new upper shape. The Viper shell may not suit all hoof shapes, and in some cases the Renegade Classic shape may be more suitable.

The Renegade Viper sizes come out a little smaller than suggested by the boot dimensions, so please refer to the size chart before sizing. If in doubt, it is generally better to size up.

The Renegade Viper shells are the ideal way to quickly and easily determine which size Renegade Viper hoof boot is the best fit. The shells allows you to size your horses’ feet correctly before ordering your hoof boots, to ensure a perfect fit first time and preventing wasted time and money returning boots. Although taking the measurements is a good start to check if the shape and size of a horses hoof should fit one of these boots, if in any doubt, try a shell first.

PLEASE NOTE: Renegade "Vipers" come in different sizes to the Renegade "Classics" so Fitting Shells for the Classics are available separately.

Terms of Fit Kit Hire and Fit Kit Hire Fees

Please post your Fit Kit back, clean and dry with no parts missing, dirty or broken, within 14 days of you receiving it (this can be extended, but please contact us first). Please note that there is an additional fee of £2.50 per week for Fit Kits that arrive back more than 21 days after the date they were received.

  • When returning your Fit Kit, please clean the shells of any mud/debris before returning them to us.

  • We will retain a cleaning fee of £5-10 from your Fit Kit deposit if a Fit Kit is returned to us dirty (e.g. muddy!)

If you require help in deciding on the next step and have sent an e-mail to us, then please feel free to keep the Fit Kit until you have received a reply (as we may ask you to try the Fit Kit on again). We will not charge the additional fee of £2.50 per week when you are in contact and an extension has been agreed. Occasionally, we may send a shell that is dirty or damaged and there is no need to notify us if the shell was dirty or damaged when you received it.

When you return the Fit Kit to us and wish to PURCHASE or HIRE a pair of Hoof Boots at the time of return, you will be refunded the deposit paid LESS the applicable fit kit fee.

If you decide to return the Fit Kit and NOT order or hire any boots at the time of return, you will be refunded the deposit paid LESS the applicable fit kit fee AND a further admin fee of £10. You will not be charged a further £10 admin fee if you opt for a Store Credit.

If you decide to NOT order a pair of boots at the time of return of the Fit Kit and opt for a refund, but you later come back to Hoof Bootique to purchase a pair of hoof boots, then please feel free to ask for a discount of £10, representing the additional admin fee of £10 you were charged on the Fit Kit.

If the Fit Kit is returned to us with parts missing, broken or dirty (subject to the comments above) the amount refunded to you will be LESS the cost of putting the Fit Kit right again. 

Please note you will be responsible for returning the Fit Kit to us at your cost, and we are not able to refund you until the Fit Kit is received by us so we do recommend a recorded method of postage.

You can use our Royal Mail Returns Service when returning your Fit Kit at a cost of £4.95 (or use a service of your choice). A Royal Mail Returns label will be included with the Fit Kit. Please place the label on your parcel and then you can take it to any Post Office. Please remember to obtain a proof of postage receipt.This service can be more cost effective, especially when returning heavy or large Fit Kits.

Please note, this service is free at the point of posting but a charge of £4.95 will be deducted from your Fit Kit deposit or charged separately if no deposit is due back to you.

Standard Fit Kit Fees

*Any fit kit other than a mixed fit kit is standard.

A £15 fee will be retained for the 1st Fit Kit hired.

If more than one Fit Kit was hired at the same time (so under the same Order Number) then a reduced fee of £10 will be retained for each subsequent Fit Kit.

The remaining balance will either be refunded, rolled over onto a boot purchase/hire or applied as a Store Credit, as required.

    After much searching and lots of help from Gemma, I was really happy to be able to try these for size as a few other brands just did not fit the shape of my Thoroughbreds feet. I have now ordered some for both back and front feet.
