What's My Size?
If you know your horse’s shoe type and “Keg” shoe size, you can input that information below to get an idea of what size Soft-Ride boot your horse will wear. Please note that if your ferrier makes significant changes to the shape of your horse’s shoes, you may require a different size Soft-Ride boot than what our sizing wizard displays.

Sizing Instructions
We recommend these guidelines when measuring your horse and using Soft-Ride boots:
Step 1
Place the hoof squarely on a sturdy piece of paper or cardboard (such as a manila folder).
Step 2
It's important to keep your horses hooves trimmed. This will help ensure continued proper fitment and help prevent damage to the boot.
Step 3
Measure each hoof to check for discrepancies in hoof size. You may find it necessary to order a different size boot for each foot.
Step 4
Hold the gel orthotic up to the bottom of the hoof. The gel should overlap the hoof by up to an eighth of inch on either side. This allows for some growth before the hoof is trimmed again. If the foot overlaps the Gel Orthotic in length or width, then the boot is too small.
Sizing Chart
Soft-Ride has added long, narrow, and long-narrow orthotics in select sizes. When reordering, specify the orthotic size. Additionally, specialty pairs of orthotics can be purchased in these new sizes.
