Stop mud fever before it starts and keep your horse comfortable in the soggiest conditions with the Woof Wear Mud Fever Boot. This innovative turnout solution creates a total barrier against moisture and bacteria, ensuring your horse stays sound and skin-healthy all winter long.

Engineered by Toklat, these boots utilize a sophisticated "Submarine" hoof capsule that dives deep below the heel bulbs to lock out mud and moisture at the source. Unlike traditional turnout boots that can trap heat and aggravate skin issues, the upper section features a loose-fitting, waterproof, and breathable fabric that facilitates constant air circulation, effectively eliminating the warm, damp environment where pastern dermatitis bacteria thrive.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Submarine Hoof Capsule: An articulated neoprene capsule designed to dive deep below the bulbs of the heel, creating a firm seal that prevents mud from seeping upward.
• Breathable Waterproof Fabric: The upper material allows air to circulate freely, creating a cool "micro-climate" that prevents the bacterial growth associated with "scratches."
• Kevlar-Reinforced Heel: Features an abrasion-resistant Kevlar® coating on the lower section and a PU strike pad for maximum durability and light brushing protection.
• Secure Top Seal Barrier: A snug-fitting strap located just below the knee or hock acts as a physical barrier to lock out moisture and debris from the top.
• Versatile Front & Hind Fit: Sold in pairs and specifically designed to fit both front and hind legs effectively for total leg protection.
• Machine Washable: Constructed for easy maintenance; can be machine washed at 30°C (86°F) with non-biological detergent for optimal hygiene.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I choose the correct size for my horse?
A: Most riders find that sizing up is the best approach, especially for hind legs or horses with significant "feathers." For a secure fit, the neoprene around the hoof must overlap fully; if the hook-and-loop fasteners do not have a large contact area, the boot is too small and may come loose.

Q: How tight should these boots be fitted for turnout?
A: Proper fit requires a balance: the top strap must be fitted securely to prevent sliding, and the hoof capsule should be pulled tight to create the seal. However, the middle strap should remain loose to allow for the essential air circulation that keeps the leg dry.

Q: Can these boots be worn 24/7 during the winter?
A: While they are designed for full turnout, they must be removed every 24 hours. Daily removal allows you to inspect the skin for rubs and ensures that the boots and the horse's legs are clean and dry before being reapplied.
