There is a small, but strong movement towards barefoot horses. Barefoot is a natural, healthier way to maintain hoof health. Toss the shoes! These multi purpose horse boots are the Ultimate in Hoof protection.

These boots are a genuine alternative to metal shoes. They are shock absorbing, and assist in the natural weight bearing function of the hoof. Old Macs eliminate the stress of constant nail holes and trauma caused by shoeing.

Old Macs are not recommended for riding if your horse has shoes, but they CAN be used over the shoes for transportation purposes.

No more worrying if your horse will lose a shoe. Old Macs protect the hoof from bulb and tendon damage, hoof wall and sole bruising. These are the OLD style Old Macs, while supplies last.

Old Macs STAY on your horse. They are marked "left" and "right". To place the boot on, simply open the cover fully, pulling the cover all the way forward.
Pick up the hoof, and place the it in the boot TOE first. Place the sole of the hoof firmly in the boot, and pull the heel bulbs over the heel
Wrap the webbing strap around the pastern. This strap will start at one side of the hoof. Bring it around the front of the hoof, to the other side. Then place the strap through the ring and secure the velcro. Make SURE you can slip a finger comfortably under the strap. If you cannot, the strap is too tight.
Pull the sides of the boots down over the hoof, ensuring they are straight. You do so by pushing DOWN towards the rear of the hoof. Close the velcro evenly. Then, fasten the strap.
When looking at the boot from the front, the four rivets should be aligned down the center of the hoof, in alignment with the pastern bone.

Old Macs come in NINE sizes to accomodate your horse's hooves.

See the chart below to choose the correct size:

FIRST - Measure the LENGTH of your horse's hoof - from the toe of the hoof to the buttress of heel (as indicated in the diagram above). On the size chart below circle the measurement closest to your horse's length .

Old Macs Size	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8
Hoof Length (in mm)	100	105	110	115	120	125	130	135	140
Hoof Length (in inches)	3 15/16	4 1/8	4 5/16	4 1/2	4 11/16	4 7/8	5 1/16	5 1/4	5 7/16

SECOND - Measure the widest part of your horse's hoof. On the size chart below circle the measurement closest to your horse's width

Old Macs Size 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Hoof Width (in mm) 110 115 120 125 130 135 140 145 150

Hoof Width (in inches) 4 5/16 4 1/2 4 11/16 4 7/8 5 1/16 5 1/4 5 7/16 5 5/8 5 13/16

Step 3 - From the two measurements circled on the size chart, select the LARGEST CORRESPONDING OLD MAC'S SIZE . This is the correct Old Mac's boot size for your horse.

For example, if your horse measures 120mm in length, and 120mm in width, you would choose size 4.

If your horse has long/narrow hooves, inserts are available. Inserts are designed to better accommodate excessively long and narrow hooves. They are ONLY to be used in cases where there is a possibility of the boot turning while on the hoof. Placing the inserts on each side of the hoof (they come in a set of four), enables the hoof to balance in the center of the boot. Order below. Size small is used in conjunction with boot sizes 0-4. Large, for boot sizes 5-8.

When putting on your Old Mac Boots:

Avoid pulling the internal webbing strap too tight - this may cause rubbing.
Avoid securing the main cover unevenly or too high - this may cause excessive movement.
Make sure the rear of the cover is not secured unevenly and/or too high
