I am starting to jump my horse higher. Would these boots help with jumping?

Talk to your jumping/riding coach first before you buy these, as your jumper may require a different type of support boot. They are great for me, but I only do really laid back trail rides and flatwork or round pen lunging only. I've seen jumpers wearing support boots that are "open" with straps in the front so they can "feel" the fence rail, but have more solid surface on the back to support the tendons. For just flatwork they are fine for me.

I am not familiar with that problem. But they might, if you wore them upside down. I would try one or ask a PT you trust.

Yes, definitely would help. They are made of a strong rubber material so you need some strength to get them on but when they are on the stay put.

I don't know of a way to raise them higher, but I'm happy with them. I might be even happier if they were a little higher. I have arthritis in my hips and knees and found them easy enough to get out of without a cushion. However, I've added a pillow for comfort. It's not a patio chair cushion, just an old throw pillow. I'm only 5'6" so maybe that's why I'm not having a problem.

These only help the boot to hold its shape to prevent unwanted creases in the leather. However, it does not stretch the calf wider. Hope this helps.

It really depends on your weight and calf size. Seems like they run a bit small. Granted I have pretty big calves, but I wound up having to gimmick them to be able to take them on and off regularly. So just beware. They are nice, but just a little small.

Might depend on whether you plan to wear socks with these or not. I would go up.

NO! Just the opposite in fact. These fit together nicely, but they are SUPER slippery - not really good for anything other than to put under heavy exercise equipment that won't move. Definitely NOT for jumping rope! Hope that helps! I got them originally to use for an exercise video in front of the TV, but they slid all over the place immediately. Good luck! - Dawn

I would say no. I am on my feet all day and I wear support stockings with a short pair of crew socks over them and that solves the problem. By the way, when I bought Miracle socks on amazon, they were not near as tall on the calf as the ones I got from Walmart.I don't know why that is, but they were and I couldn't use them.

Yes you should be able to use this device with gravity boots, but you should purchase the stabilizer bar for added support. It is a very stable device.

I would say no as my calves are somewhat small and they're tight on me. The McDavid brand seems more in tune with larger calves

Possibly but maybe not. If the boot fits the paw just the strap feels short you can try this. The boots are stiff at first so get them damp under the sink and "crunch" them in your hands. This softens them a bit and let's the boot conform to the foot better and the strap seems "longer". Our boots fit our lab much better after he wears them out in the wet than when dry. Also you can get them pretty snug just don't go overboard. Try that.

I never used an Easyboot for a horse with shoes on. I would call the company and ask them. My purpose was to use them in place of shoes entirely or to compensate for one lost shoe on the trail.

I think these boots would work well, as long as you fasten them securely. My dog wore them all winter long (in deep snow too) and we only lost one boot all season. I know it's probably because we didn't get that one on very securely. If you're only using on hind paws, you'll have two extra for backups.

I think so, they are snug, but not so snug that they restrict my movement. I think every beginner snowboarder should have these. While I no longer wear them they helped so much physically and psychologically that first season, when you knew you were going to fall again and again

No, they are "art" shoes. I used them to make the horseshoe puzzle. They are cast iron, so not adjustable to a real horse.

I found that the boots need to be pretty snug to stay on. I use mine for hiking, but have heard that others have had good results with them. They come four to a pack, so if your dog will tolerate them, you may only use two at a time on the back paws. My 3 year old was uncertain with them on at first, but settled in to them and forgot he was wearing them.
