Product Information
Full details
The ARMA Carbon XC Boots for hind legs are designed for eventing riders and cross-country competitors who require elite-level impact protection without sacrificing mobility. These boots excel by offering a robust defense against strike injuries and bruising while maintaining a lightweight, water-resistant profile that prevents the buildup of drag during wet conditions. While they offer superior protection and ventilation, riders must be diligent in ensuring the adjustable straps are correctly tensioned to maintain the anatomical fit during high-intensity training.

FAQs
Can these boots be used on the front legs?
No, these are specifically designed for the anatomy of the hind legs and should not be used on the front limbs.
Are these boots waterproof?
The materials are water-resistant and designed not to absorb water, which keeps them lightweight during water obstacles.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
The boots should mold securely to the leg without gaps, and the straps should feel firm but allow for normal joint articulation.
Can I machine wash these boots?
It is recommended to hand clean them with water and a soft brush to protect the specialized strike protection layers.
What is the ActionGuard system?
It is a protective insert made of flexible PE and Poron foam designed to absorb shocks specifically directed at the cannon bone.
Troubleshooting
Boots sliding or slipping during work
Check that the elasticated straps are properly tensioned and that the boot is positioned high enough to conform to the contours of the cannon bone.
Build-up of dirt inside the ventilation channels
Use a soft brush to clear out debris from the XCHARGE channels after the mud has dried, or rinse under a low-pressure hose.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure the horse's legs are clean and dry before application. Position the boot so the protective ActionGuard strike area sits directly over the cannon bone. When fastening the wide adjustable straps, use the elasticated inserts to ensure a snug, even fit that does not impede circulation.
For care, wipe the boots down with a damp cloth after every use to remove mud and grit. If necessary, rinse with cool water and air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the EVA foam and carbon-textured layers. Regularly inspect the velcro straps for debris to ensure they continue to provide a secure grip.
