Description
Flex pads are ideal if you need the boot to fit tighter, or your horse's sole or frog needs more stimulation to become stronger. They are useful if your horse needs extra protection on hard rocky ground, or you're rehabilitating after founder, abscess, white line disease or thin sole.
The EVA pads are sold as a pair, are 5.5mm thick and have two firmness options: soft (yellow) and firm (red). The pad will mould into the sole and the inside of the Flex Boot. They stay on very well and help stimulate the sole, frog and back of the foot, therefore strengthening the hoof every step of the way.
Flex pads also make the boots more durable and often the boot will stay on even better with pads.
Flex pads are not included in the standard Flex Boot set when you purchase a boot.

Sizing
Flex Pads are sized according to the boot sizes, so select the same size pads as your boots. Larger pads can be cut to size if the required size is not presently in stock.
Standard Width are for the Standard sized Flex Boots, and Wide Width are for the Wide sized Flex Boots.
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
We recommend rinsing the pads after every use in warm water and drying them in a warm place; this helps retain their cushioning properties.
