Is there a site that describes the different hoof boots well?

some horses have a nice belled out purty foot. Some horses have a more upright walls on a tiny foot. In time they might get purtier but for now, they are what they are.

Is there a website to help you decide which might be a better fit for different shapes of feet?

TIA :)

I don't know of a site that compares all the brands either. The Easy Care link has all the same brand, but many different models, so it's a great place to start.

Some boots fit a more round foot and some a more oval foot. The measurements are based on length and width. Beyond that, I haven't seen anything online that talks about more upright feet vs more splayed feet, as in, how the rear of the boot might interact with the heels.

You could do a search here on a given brand and likely find discussions on those types of things on just about any of them LOL

That first link is awesome, thanks!

glad you liked it but don't put too much stock into it, it's the same one I linked yesterday in the navicular thread that was attempting to explain Rooney's toe first landing ideas, and made a total mess of it, claiming that the tendon was tightening and loosening at the same time.

LOL! I didn't go into much depth there, just looked at the vast array of boots listed :)
