Description
Flex Boot EVA Pads - Soft (Yellow) are made from a softer 6mm EVA than the Firm (Red) pads and are ideal for ponies, miniature horses, more sensitive soles, or when you need a little extra snugness in the boot. Because they compress easily, they allow the hoof to sink slightly into the pad, creating a soft “seal” that helps the hoof settle and the boot feel more secure. They provide gentle cushioning while maintaining excellent proprioceptive feedback, and can also be doubled for extra shock absorption where needed.
Soft (Yellow) pads aren’t ideal for heavier horses, high-abrasion use, or long-term heavy pressure, where the Firm (Red) pads are usually a better choice.
As the pads mould to the boot insole and the horse’s sole, they create an almost “sealed” fit between the two. This can help the boots stay on more securely while providing cushioning where it’s needed most, and can also improve boot fit if the boots are slightly too loose and there’s space at the sides.

Materials -
The soft and firm Flex pads are made of EVA foam, which is strong enough to provide protection yet soft enough to provide cushioning for the horse’s feet.
Care instructions -
Rinse the pads after every use in warm water and drying them in a warm place; this helps retain their cushioning properties.
