Overview
Why We Love This

Used for both injury prevention as well as injury recovery. The Back on Track Bell Boots are ideal when having problems with the tarsal bones or the coronet, as the boots increase the blood flow in the hoof. Sold in pairs.

Instructions
Instructions for Use:
Please read carefully, both the usage and washing instructions, before using the product.
All Back on Track products should be implemented gradually. To start with, use the product for a maximum of four hours a day for the first 2-3 days. The body then has the opportunity to familiarize itself with the fabric’s effects.
The reason we recommend starting with a maximum of 4 hours use is that some people experience pain in the beginning. In horses and dogs, it manifests itself as a swelling. This is due to the increased blood circulation, which is actually a good indication that the ceramic fabric is taking effect. This initial pain or swelling can occur anywhere from a few to several hours of use. You should then cease using the product any more that day, and instead introducing it carefully and more gradually over the following days.
After the introductory period you should up the usage to a minimum of 8 hours per day, preferably more. After only an hour or so is often perceived a positive effect on tight muscles and stiff joints. More persistent problems may require several days, usually between 10-20, before the desired result is achieved.
After the introductory period of 2-3 days it is important to continue to use the product intensively at least 10, preferably 20 days, before assessing its impact. Since this ceramic fabric reflects more of the body’s heat radiation as you move, the effect is greatest if you wear the product when active. Back on Track also works when resting, even when you sleep.
Continue to use the product according to the routine you develop, or use it for two weeks and then take a break in the third week, this in order to avoid dependency. The sensitivity of this dependency varies from individual to individual. For maximum effect, the ceramic fabric should be in direct contact with the skin (if necessary, a thin cotton cloth inserted between).
Note: Caution is advised during simultaneous use with liniment or similar, since the effect is amplified. Use the product only as directed and consult a doctor if symptoms persist. Do not use during pregnancy.
Specific instructions for use on horses and dogs:
Keep in mind that the effect of Back and Track increases with movement when the body heat increases, so in addition to using pads and blankets in the stables, the horse can also be allowed to move around with the Back on Track products. Especially suitable in this context is Riding Boots, Leg Wraps, Saddle Pads, Exercise Sheets and Blanket/Sheets.
For long term problems, the horse may need to use Back on Track for an extended period. Use the product for two to three weeks and have a break one week, to see if the symptoms persist.
As a preventive measure, Back on Track can be used with regular breaks. Use Back on Track 1 day before and 2 days after exercise and then stop until the next workout. For warm-up, use 1-2 hours before and 2-4 hours after exercise.
For dogs, one often uses the standard Dog Blanket, which is rain repellent and breaths. However, it should be noted that for long-running problems, Back on Track should be used for several weeks, at least 8 hours per day, with regular breaks in order to achieve the desired results. This means that the dog can use the blanket day and night, indoor as well as outdoor, 24/7. If being used at night, it is probably more comfortable for the dog to wear the Mesh Blanket, which is more adaptable. Alternatively, the dog may be provided with a mattress with "memory foam" or a cover of Back on Track to the sleeping basket. The foam part molds to the body shape and relieves a sore back.
Washing:
Back on Track products can be machine washed up to 86°F or 30°C. Use normal detergents that do not contain bleach or fabric softeners. Air dry only, do NOT tumble dry.
Note: Do not use bleach or fabric softener, or tumble dry. The product should be ironed at a maximum temperature of 122 F The ceramic powder is fused in the fibres of polyester/polypropylene and does not separate when washed. The textile loses efficiency with time and extended use.
The textile is produced in China and consists of 100% polypropylene (PP) with ceramic powder or 50% polyester with ceramic powder and 50% cotton.

My horse needed bell boots for in the stall to keep his elbows from getting funky. After shopping around these boots were actually priced the most fairly for a softer material. Turns out he is recovering from an injury in his hoof so the boots served dual purposes.
I don't think they run large as some other people have said. They are supposed to be used in the stall only and for therapeutic reasons so I wouldn't want boots that barely cover his hoof. FYI my horse is a smaller Thoroughbred with little feet and I bought size Medium boots.
The only problem I have with these boots is their durability. Others mentioned that the stitching on the velcro didn't last and sure enough my boots ripped in about two weeks (of gentle use). I had them fixed by a leather maker so hopefully this wont be an issue again.
Otherwise I really like these boots!

Good but not durable
These boots are good and my horse wears them in his stall but when he has ripped the stitching three times already (only had them for a month). They are easy to stitch up and I assume my horse is harder on them than usual but they are not as durable as I would like

Worth considering
I bought these because my horse has collateral ligament injuries in both front feet and coffin joint issues. I wanted to bring relief and soothing to the areas and so I bought the BOT bell boots to increase warmth and circulation.
I have BOT quick leg wraps, hock wraps and saddle pads. These are all excellent products, and there is no doubt whatsoever that they increase warmth and circulation.
I bought the large as my 17.1 h Holsteiner has very big feet (size 3 shoes). They fit fine.
They are not for riding, they are for therapeutic purposes, as another reviewer has stated. You will need other bell boots for work.
The bedding in my stall is fine pine that tends to attach in fairly large amounts to the inside material on the bell boots, so when I remove them, I have to brush and pick off the bedding from the inside of the boots, which is a little bit of a hassle, but no big deal whatsoever.
When I take them off, my horse's heel bulbs are warm, and my horse is not tripping now that I think of it.
I tried putting them on with my BOT quick leg wraps, but they don't fit with them because the leg wraps cover the pastern and fetlock areas (which is a real plus, since I need coverage for those areas). So, I have been using the leg and hock wraps every other night, and the bell boots on alternating nights so far.
By the way, my horse has had many injuries (diagnosed with full body nuclear scan and MRIs of three legs) and he is doing amazingly well since stem cell treatment and multiple BOT products.
Since they don't cost a ton, I think they are worth trying if you have soncerns about your horse's front feet and associated ligaments.

Another Great Back On Track item
The entire Back on Track product line is great. My horses have the sheet, the blanket, and now the bell boots. It may be time for getting something for me, the rider!

Navicular Help
Along with other additions to her regimen, I used these for my horse's navicular issues. My horse improved greatly and has become her old self again to the point where I am going to attempt to train her (we'll have to see how that goes) so I consider this purchase to be definitely worth it. I gave the product five stars because of the major improvement I've seen. However, the sizes do run large as noted before.
It's worth noting before I write the second half of this review that these are bell boots made for therapeutic applications. They are not bell boots in the real sense of the word. The only real issue I had was that of durability. The Velcro tore off of mine after about six months of use. But in the interest of fairness, those that were suppose to be taking them off while she was in turnout were not doing so, so perhaps that was a large part of it. Even with my issues with the boots (which may not have been their fault), I am buying another pair, and this time I intend to be much more diligent about seeing that they are off and on her at the proper times.
For those that are interested in what I did to help improve my horses condition: I had her trimmed and shod (she had been barefoot) for navicular issues; she received SmartSox (which I was quite happy with) at one point, which I later changed to Isoxuprine (at the vet's suggestion); I added a half a dose of Grand HA to her already existent dose of Smartflex Senior Pellets; and I also added half a dose of Coco Soya SP for the inflammatory help of the omega 3's. Within two months she was acting like her happy, mischievous self again. Of course, I'd be certain to check with your vet first as I have found, as I'm certain many others with navicular horses have, what helps one horse may not help another.

Average Bell Boots
The sizes run big so I had to return them for a smaller size however, I have been using them consistantly but they dont seem to be holding up very well. My horse is very hard on items but they are already getting frayed. I love my Back on Track Items and will continue to keep using them as I do feel that they provide the assistance that our athletes need.
