Sizing
Sizing It Up
When sizing, measure heel to toe (length) and side to side (width) at the widest area of the hoof. It is recommended to go up a boot size by at least 1/2" larger than the hoof size to allow room for medicating and bandages.
Size 1 : 5 1/4" wide x 5 5/8" long
Size 2 : 5 5/8" wide x 6 1/8" long
Size 3 : 6 1/4" wide x 7" long
Size 4 : 7 1/4" wide x 7 3/4" long
Size 5 : 8" wide x 8 1/2" long
Note: The measurements of the sizing chart represent the inside dimensions of the boot.

good idea
This boot is hard to get on, and then hard to keep on. The hoof part fits well but then the ankle part is too big. My gelding did keep it on for a few hours but did eventually get it off. Perhaps if he was quietly grazing instead of galloping and bucking it would have stayed on...

Good boots
We bought a size larger so that we could add ice to use them to ice hooves. The rubber is quite thick and we haven't had any leaks. the velcro strap on each boot is plenty long.

a wonderful boot!
I did not have high expectations because I was using this boot with a 2 year old who is "into everything" and had an abcess. This boot was amazing. It stayed on for turnout, was easy to apply and remove, and did not rub the hair at all off my gray horse! Such an improvement over anything else you could try to use to wrap a hoof!

Useful
We purchased the Davis Medicine Boot to help protect an open hoof abscess from stall dirt. It certainly did its job. My only complaint is that even with the correct hoof measurements, because our horse is a draft cross, the heel was very difficult to get into the boot. It helped to warm up the boot, as it made it more flexible. However, it was still a two person operation, with one being extremely strong to pull the boot on and off.

Takes time to break in.
My horse's measurements were the exact size of the size 0 boot. I didn't want to be struggling to get it on every time, so I got a size 1. The size 1 was even a little bit of a struggle to get on at first, but after a week of use it stretched just the right amount. It is now much easier to get on and only takes about a minute to get on:)

Abscess must have
I have tried several other boots designed for the treatment of abscesses but none have stood the test of wear and tear that my young horse provides! The Davis boot is relatively easy to use (It can be a little difficult to put on when wet) and stands up to the beating that my horse puts all his boots through. I will always keep one of these on hand in my tack box!

Used the Medicine boot for soaking an abcess and was way better than using a bucket. Needed less water than a bucket too! Ordered size 3 for my TB who wears a size 2 shoe. Fit with room to spare!

Excellent soaking boot
Easier than most to put on and take off, fits well, and must be fairly comfortable for the horse, since my guy didn't react to it at all. Highly recommended.

Works Perfectly
Henry, a Haflinger, had a severe stone bruise and infected hoof. The vet did an extensive removal of the infected area.
Hoof needed to be soaked every night and protected.
The boot was ABSOLUTEY PERFECT. Stayed on in mud!

great product
I wish I would have purchased a while ago. Sure beats trying to soak my horse's hoof in a bucket. A little hard to get on & off but well worth it.

The medicine boot
Measured hoof, but even though we returned twice, still couldnt get it to fit properly. The large fit his hoof, but we couldnt get it to tighten enough around the ankle. Too much strap left over.

Just ordering it made the abscess go away
My new filly developed two abscesses within two weeks of arriving at our facility. I borrowed a Davis boot from the barn manager for use with poultice and vet wrap. Apparently, just like making a doctor's appointment causes an illness to go away, placing the order made the abscesses heal in record time. The boot arrived within the week ... and she no longer needed it.
The Velcro strap on the boot I borrowed was broken/chewed through, but that boot has been used many times and is almost a year old. Duct tape worked fine and the boot stayed on and did its job. The boot itself is still in excellent shape and has retained its functionality and quality, so I expect similar results from our shiny new Davis boot.

VeryVery Satisfied with this Product
My mare was a doll about soaking her foot. Stood easily with it in a bucket as long as I needed her to. And as long as I stood with her.
HOWEVER. . . . .in an attempt to save time and multi-task I ordered the Medicine Boot. WOO-HOO! Less hot water needed, less Epsom salts needed, and NO ME STANDING WITH HER needed. So while she strolled the pasture, soaking her foot in the boot, I could finish some other barn business. Boot goes on easily, fastens as tight as you need it and does the job. HIGHLY recommend to anyone. Easy to use, inexpensive and effective. What more could you want?

Great multi-purpose boot
I have a big one for soaking and a correctly sized one for daily wear during abcess treatment. They work great, very durable. The only complaint I have is that the velcro strap is too long and I have to duct tape it to keep it from coming loose. Maybe my mare just has dainty ankles? =o)

Glad I Bought It
I bought this because my mare punctured her hoof and I needed something to efficiently soak it. I am pleased with this product. It is a bit hard to get on but it fits nicely and comes off easily. It stays on well and cleans easily. The Medicine Boot fit the bill quite nicely. Thank you Smart Pak.

Won't be without one again
Never had a horse with even a small abscess before, but our first one here was a very bad one, blown at the heel and also a very large hole in the sole. I had been repeatedly soaking, medicating & duct taping a bandage until I found this Medicine boot.
By the time I figured out there was an easier way, and this boot arrived, I was past the need to soak, so I used it to protect his bandaged foot. Has held up perfectly even during a few hours of daily turnout in a small paddock.
I know it isn't intended to be a boot for exercise purposes, but I needed something right then to provide protection from dirt/rocks /snow soaking his duct taped bandage, and light support while outside , and it worked well. And I'll never need a bucket again for soaking.
Note to SmartPak - I needed a tighter fitting boot once I quit bandaging his hoof, to allow him to continue healing that hole up while getting some more exercise to get his hoof circulation flowing.
Bought an Easyboot Rx (newer product of theirs, I think) and have found another winner. Fits like a glove, has small holes to provide circulation, very very easy to take on and off to check how his hole is healing up. Hasn't come off yet during play. He is now able to be outside in the paddock 24/7 and doing well even in the snow.
Please consider offering this wonderful item for sale on your website in the future (would have preferred to buy it from you guys, as your service/delivery is just the best, but didn't see it here)!

I think I bought too big of a boot. It is difficult to tighten and therefore falls off easily. If it was easier to tighten it would be great.

No more buckets!
Two of my horses had abscesses at the same time. Soaking in a bucket was not an option. I used two Davis boots at the same time. It's hard to appreciate this boot if you've never had to deal with buckets! Just make sure you get the right size or you'll just make more trouble for yourself!

Wow, durable AND easy to use!
I bought this boot for a horse at my barn who seems quite prone to abscesses. Her poor owner constantly had to apply sugardine and then wrap the horse's hoof, hoping the wrap would last long enough for the sugardine to have an effect. I thought this Medicine Boot might help protect the hoof wrap and save the owner from having to re-wrap. I figured she'd still need to wrap the hoof but at least the wrap would be protected. Well, it turns out these boots come with a removable pad that actually helps keep the sugardine (or whatever medication you are using) in contact with the hoof, and also provides some padding! The pad is washable so it can be reused many times, and eliminates the need to wrap the hoof before applying the boot. The boot is extremely easy to put on, just make sure you get the right size. The first boot I ordered was too small, and therefore very hard to put on. As soon as I bought the correct size, VIOLA, the boot is a cinch to put on. I have never turned the horse out in the boot, so I cannot say how durable it is during turn-out, but this boot holds up to use in the stall very well. Definitely a great product to have on hand!

Very Helpful!
This boot surprised me- despite it's claims, I didn't think it would really work up to the hype. So far, I am really pleased! My horse is recovering from an abscess, and I am using this boot for turnout. It is staying on and keeping his hoof clean. Definitely worth having around!

Great for a Foundered Horses
I have used this product not only as a soaking boot, but as a support and way of keeping the feet dry and clean between treatments. I have used this boot on a few horses with trush problems with a product called hoof zapp that is great for drying out thrush and hoof rot. This boot is easy to use and if it is the correct size will stay on even if you have a very active horse in turnout and in the stall.

Great For Soaking Feet
My horse had an abscess and I was told that I had to soak his foot. I TRIED the old method of putting the foot in a small bucket, but that just freaked my horse out. I bought this boot and had great success. I was able to put the boot on my horses' foot and put the Epsom salts and water right into it. My horse thought it was just a regular boot so he remained calm. There was no way that he could take his foot out like he could with just a bucket. This boot made foot soaking a whole lot easier for me and my horse.
