Description
EVA Pad Relief – Dual-Layer Cushioning for Sensitive Soles
The EVA Pad Relief is a dual-layer insole designed to add softness, protection and gentle support inside Flex Boots. It combines two EVA densities for comfort and light stimulation, making it an excellent option for horses with sensitive or thin soles.
10mm thick pad with a Dual-Layer Construction:
- 4 mm soft EVA – maximum cushioning for tender soles
- 6 mm firmer EVA – light structural support and protection on uneven ground
This combination helps reduce discomfort, distribute pressure more evenly and improve comfort on hard or rocky surfaces.
Primarily designed for horses, as ponies usually benefit sufficiently from the 6 mm pads.
How to Use -
The pad can be used in two ways depending on the horse’s needs:
- Soft EVA down
Best for cushioning and protecting sensitive soles. - Firm EVA down
Provides mild stimulation and encourages natural sole development when the hoof is healthy and inflammation-free.
This pad is our best choice for rehabilitation and horses who require substantial support.
Key Benefits -
- Extra comfort for sensitive or thin soles
- Reduces sole pressure and absorbs shock
- Supports natural strengthening of the hoof
- Trim-to-fit design for all Flex Boot sizes - simply trace, cut and fit to match your exact boot size
Sizing -
Each pad comes in one base size and includes a printed cut-to-size template (110 to 150 for Standard/Classic, 110 - 145 for Wide).
Please note that Relief pads are not available in the smaller 80-105 pony sizes. Although the pads can technically be trimmed to fit pony sizes, a pony’s lighter weight may not provide sufficient compression during use, which can prevent the 10mm pad from fitting properly in smaller Flex Boots. A pony would be better suited to the 6mm Firm or Soft Flex Pads.
