Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Exo-Flex Ankle Boot is designed for performance-focused equestrian riders who require professional-grade tendon and joint protection without sacrificing mobility. Its primary benefit is the integration of ACF artificial cartilage foam, which dissipates up to 90% of impact force, making it an essential tool for high-intensity training. While these boots offer superior technical protection and breathability, riders should note that the precise fitting system requires careful adjustment of the straps to ensure the boots are correctly positioned during first-time use.

FAQs
Can these boots be used on both front and hind legs?
These are specifically designed as ankle boots and are intended primarily for use on the hind legs.
How often should I clean the bamboo lining?
Regularly wipe the lining with a damp cloth after use and perform a thorough hand wash if the boots become heavily soiled.
What is the purpose of the two different strap sizes?
The 25mm and 30mm straps are included to accommodate different horse leg shapes, allowing for a more precise and secure fit.
Is the ACF foam heat-sensitive?
The ACF foam is designed to be stable, but you should avoid drying the boots on heaters or in direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the material.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the TPU shell is water-resistant, the internal padding is designed to be breathable; they are not intended to be fully submerged for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Boot rotation during movement
Ensure you are using the correct strap width (25mm vs 30mm) for the horse's cannon bone diameter and verify that the straps are tensioned evenly.
Moisture buildup inside the boot
Verify that the forward-facing 3D mesh vents are not obstructed by mud or debris, as these are critical for airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the boots, identify the correct sizing for your horse's limb using the provided 25mm or 30mm straps. Ensure the boots are positioned correctly over the fetlock and tendon area before securing the straps tightly enough to prevent rotation but loosely enough to avoid constriction.
For care, remove debris after every ride by gently brushing the TPU shell. The boots can be hand-washed using a mild, non-biological soap. Always ensure the internal bamboo and neoprene components are completely air-dried away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the ACF biometric foam.
