Sore footed Sally with sensitive soles, enjoyed wearing her Cavallo Entry Level Hoof Boots on her fronts (Sparkly or Bling) and hinds (Black).  I'm often asked if the Cavallo Insoles are worth having and Sally says yes!

I like to hang worn boots on a piece of baler twine, or wall hooks in a warm, breezy spot to air dry and they always feel fresher to put on next time. 2, Medium dirt  - If they are very sweaty on the inside, with a reasonable coating of dirt I would dip them in a bucket of water..  - Read More
