Why Flowboots?
I am so excited about FlowBoots!! They are exactly what we've been looking for in equine leg protection. FlowBoots have all the fitting benefits of wraps and and the protection of modern sport boots.
After using these boots a few days, They are even better than we expected! These protective foam boots are specifically designed to use with a stretch wrap. The reinforcing waterproof wrap is neoprene lined lycra so the neoprene forms a sticky bond to the foam boot. The foam allows for even pressure to be applied completely around the leg without compromising sensitive areas.
For our test, we rode THRU the RIVER in knee deep in muddy water with the horses wearing Flowboots and (White) Breathable wraps.. Then we worked the horses in our dry dusty arena with a few hard n fast turns. Rode back thru the river and the Flowboots were still a nice snug fit when we unsaddled! There was No sagging and they were not heavy! Hosed off the mud and washed them on gentle cycle... And they came out WHITE! We wouldn't advise intentionally wearing white wraps in the mud, but they do wash well. ~Leslie & Ross Maynard

Flowboot PerformanceProtective Open-Cell Foam Boot
The open-cell foam boot absorbs heat and is designed around anatomical equine structures so no damage is created by support wrapping. Extra Cushion and support protect the ligaments of the sesamoid bones to reduce load and hyper tension. Sesamoiditis and Tendon injuries are common in performance horses. FlowBoot is designed to support the fetlock joint during exertion and the open front, grooved anatomical design relieves pressure across the Digital flexor tendon and ensures natural blood circulation in the palmar digital veins. |
Flowboot ReinforcingWaterproof Wraps
The support of the waterproof wrap combined with the flexibility of the anatomically correct boot allow for full movement. Your horse won’t feel any restriction, only support. These wraps are constructed of .75mm neoprene lined lycra elastic wrap 4-3/8” x 84”. For Cooler areas the Reinforcing Waterproof wrap is available in various colors. Black, Blue, Pink, Purple, Hot Pink, Red and Leopard! |

Cold CompressionTherapy
Flowboot intended for cold therapy is three times the foam in comparison to the performance boot. It is an easy, safe, and effective way of providing cold compression. The open cell foam will absorb water which can be frozen or submersed in ice water. Cold compression is significantly colder than ice alone due to improved skin contact and increased tissue density. Tissue reaches its lowest temperature faster and the tissue maintains its cool even after treatment ends. One size fits all. Wraps are 6 inches wide making it easy to apply. Twenty minutes of even pressure without cutting off the blood flow to the foot, ideal therapy post strenuous work. Flowboot targets the superficial digital flexor tendon and proximal sesamoid area which is where most problems occur. Keeping the heat and swelling out promotes recovery and prevents soreness. |
