Give your horse the ultimate edge in protection without sacrificing the luxurious comfort of Supafleece or the breathability of advanced OXI-ZONE technology. These boots ensure your equine partner stays cool, dry, and shielded from high-velocity impacts during every schooling session or competition.

Engineered for the high-performance athlete, the Shires ARMA OXI-Zone boots combine a multi-layered 4D impact system with a pierce-proof defense. The integration of moisture-wicking TPG perforated foam and a FlexFit TPU strike pad means your horse benefits from professional-grade safety that remains lightweight and flexible, even in wet or demanding conditions.

Key Features & Specifications:

• 360° OXI-ZONE Ventilation: Utilizes directional venting and Air Motion 3D mesh to circulate air constantly, preventing heat buildup and wicking moisture away from the leg.
• 4D Impact Protection: Features a FlexFit TPU moulded strike pad, zonal EVA foam, and TPG perforated foam to absorb and buffer shocks from high-velocity impacts.
• Pierce-Proof Defense: Integrated fine metal mesh-lined ventilation channels prevent sharp debris or arena objects from penetrating the boot and injuring the leg.
• Luxurious Supafleece Lining: Provides a soft, friction-reducing barrier against dirt and grit, offering a polished "show look" while preventing rubs on sensitive skin.
• Low Water Absorption: The specialized TPG foam and waffle-weave lining ensure boots don't become heavy or waterlogged during cross-country training or wet weather riding.
• Secure Quick-Fit Straps: Elasticated adjustable straps provide a customizable fit, with Cob (12.2" width) and Full (13" width) options to accommodate different bone circumferences.
• Durable Construction: Built with recessed stitching to enhance overall integrity and a smooth, tough strike pad that actively deflects blows and impacts.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I choose the right size for my horse's front and hind legs?
A: For the best fit, we recommend sizing by height: Cob for 14.2–15.1hh, Full for 15.2–16.2hh, and Extra Full for 16.3hh+. Because hind legs typically have a larger bone circumference, most riders choose to size up one level for the hind pair (e.g., Cob on front, Full on hind).

Q: Can these boots be used for high-intensity jumping or cross-country?
A: Absolutely. The 4D impact protection and pierce-proof mesh make them a favorite for stadium jumping where rail strikes are a concern, while the low water absorption properties ensure they stay lightweight and effective during cross-country training or wet-weather work.
