It provides excellent traction, durability, and comfort and is ideal for everyday use across various terrains. The one-piece heel bulb moulding provides extra strength in high-torque situations such as performance riding or over difficult terrain.
Scootboot Classics fit a healthy barefoot hoof with a short toe and low heel.

As a Scootboot Stockist, advising customers on sizing and fitting is essential. A good sizing service improves customer satisfaction and reduces exchanges and returns. Customers unfamiliar with the product often measure beyond the heel buttress, leading to a boot that's one or two sizes too large. Incorrect sizing can result in rubbing or retention issues. Ensure your customers and their horses are happy by using the tips below for your sizing service.

Online Sizing
Sizing Shell Kit
You need to request four photos of each hoof - two photos to determine suitability for Scoots and two sizing photos.
When requesting a client to send in pictures for sizing, it's important to ask them for a front and side view. This will help you evaluate whether the hooves are suitable for Scoot Boots.

Sizing Mini's
It goes without saying the smaller the horse or pony, does not mean smaller problems or issues. Sizing on the smaller end of the scale can be tricky. Our experience in remote sizing for our customers with the M0, M00, M1, M2 and M3 has not been as successful as we would have liked it to be. This is the reason we originally removed the M sizes from our Scoot Boot Sizing Guide. We want to dissuade remote sizing for these sizes. However we appreciate your need for a guide for these smaller sizes and appreciate the feedback we have received on this.
We have made a separate chart for the M sizes just for our stockists. This chart is only to be used by you, your team members and fitters. It is not for the general public. Please do not publish it on your website or social media.
