FAQs
Are these boots suitable for heavy impact protection?
The LeMieux Grafter Brushing Boots are primarily designed for protection against brushing injuries and minor knocks. For heavy impact protection, consider boots specifically designed for disciplines like show jumping or eventing.
Can these boots be used for turnout?
Yes, their durable construction makes them suitable for turnout, offering protection against minor abrasions and brushing injuries in the field.
How do I clean the hook and loop fasteners?
Gently brush the hook and loop surfaces with a stiff brush or use a specialised hook and loop cleaner to remove debris and maintain adhesion.
What is the main benefit of the breathable fabric?
The breathable fabric promotes air circulation, which helps to keep the horse's legs cooler and reduces the risk of overheating and moisture buildup during exercise or long periods of wear.
Can I wash these boots in a washing machine?
It is generally recommended to hand wash these boots with a damp cloth and mild soap. Machine washing may damage the materials or fastenings. Always check the product's care label for specific instructions.
Are these boots sold individually or as a pair?
The LeMieux Grafter Brushing Boots are sold in pairs.
Troubleshooting
Boots slipping down the leg
Ensure the hook and loop straps are securely fastened and that the horse's leg is clean and dry before application. Check if the size is appropriate for the horse's leg conformation.
Horse appears uncomfortable or is rubbing
Loosen the straps slightly. Ensure no debris is caught in the fabric or fastenings. Check for a proper fit, ensuring the boot is not too tight or too loose.
Dirt and mud adhering strongly to the fabric
Allow mud to dry partially before brushing off. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Ensure boots are completely dry before storage.
