I've got a set of Easyboots size 5 for my gelding. I bought them about 6 months after taking him barefoot and they fitted well. He's been barefoot for a couple of years now and his feet have (unsurprisingly!) changed shape. The boots have progressively become a little loose but since we changed farriers, the boots keep slipping off in deep going. The new farrier has been putting a lovely mustang roll on his hooves and they look great but the size 5 boots no longer fit! Unfortunately, his 'new' hooves don't fit into size 4 Easyboots and none of the other styles seem to fit his foot shape.
I have ordered gaiters for the fores (the hinds already have gaiters and have yet to come off) but I'd like to improve the fit of the boots all round. Could I use boot comfort pad thingies and if so which ones and how? Any other suggestions would be great as we were loosing a boot every 10 minutes or so yesterday (and that was after no rain for a week. I dread to think what winter is going to be like! ).
