Our Hoof Boot Technology
Our Hoof Boot Technology
Cavallo Hoof Boots are the most technically advanced hoof boots in the world—trusted by riders everywhere. No other hoof boot offers the same level of intelligent design, biomechanical support, and performance-enhancing features.
Cavallos aren’t just hoof boots—they’re a complete performance system. Combining state-of-the-art innovation with the wisdom of nature, every element of Cavallo Hoof Boots’ designs is driven by a deep understanding of the equine hoof and crafted with precision to support its natural shape, function, and movement. From patented tread patterns for superior traction, to built-in breakover for enhanced stride efficiency, to materials that shape, flex and breathe in sync with the hoof—nothing is overlooked.
Two Sole Width Options to Perfect Your Horse’s Fit
Choosing the right Cavallo Hoof Boot sole—Regular or Slim—ensures a secure fit, optimal performance, and hoof protection tailored to your equine’s natural hoof shape. To know which sole your horse needs, please contact Cavallo Customer Service for expert sizing assistance.
Regular Sole
Slim Sole
The Cavallo Hoof Boot Regular Sole is specifically designed for horses with rounder-shaped hooves, where the width and length of the hoof are almost equal
The Cavallo Hoof Boot Slim Sole is made for horses with a more narrow, oval-shaped hoof, where the hoof is longer than it is wide.
Our famous Cavallo Hoof Boot soles are specially formulated with our high-performance thermoplastic urethane (TPU) compound, providing total hoof protection, shock absorption, and abrasion resistance.
Cavallo soles also offer built-in sole relief: the integrated high-density inner rim supports the load-bearing hoof wall, relieving pressure off the sole, bars and frog. This thoughtful design strategy enables the natural expansion and contraction of the weight-bearing hoof, promoting optimal nutritional blood circulation.
The built-in drainage system of all Cavallo soles allows water, mud, and sand to flow right through, preventing suction and keeping the boot in place on the hoof. On all boots, the molded-in back flap gives dependable bulb protection and abrasion resistance.
