Description
Terra – Durable Synthetic Felt Cushioning for Dry & Demanding Conditions.
The Terra Pad is a 10mm thick synthetic felt insole designed to provide stable protection, natural pressure distribution and enhanced boot fit inside Flex Boots.
Unlike foam-based pads, Terra behaves more like compacted ground under the hoof. As the horse moves, the material compresses and gradually shapes itself to the sole, creating a close, customized contact surface inside the boot.
Terra is especially recommended for dry seasons, arid climates and horses working on hard or rocky terrain.
How the Terra works -
The pad compresses and shapes itself to the sole the same way as natural dirt. This creates:
- Even pressure distribution
- Improved stability inside the boot
- Reduced internal movement
- Reliable protection against sharp or uneven surfaces
Because the pad adapts naturally to the hoof, it can also improve overall boot fit by stabilizing the hoof within the shell.
Side expansion is normal and can enhance stability. However, trimming excess material from the toe area is important to maintain correct breakover.
Ideal for -
- Dry seasons and dry climates
- Rocky, uneven or abrasive terrain
- Horses needing additional sole protection
- Situations where long-lasting durability is essential
Terra is highly durable and designed to withstand repeated compression and demanding conditions.
