I have been in love with the Easyboot Glove since its release in 2009. After struggling with the original Easyboot and losing several in mud, I was thrilled with the concept of the Easyboot Glove; finally a low profile boot that is easy to put on and most importantly it stays on. I measured Calatar and came up with 118mm x 127mm for the left front and 116mm x 126mm for the right front. Based on the size chart, I determined he would need a size 1.5 for both fronts. I tried to order the boots and much to my dismay they were on back order; I would have to wait. In spite of this disappointment, I continued researching the Easyboot Gloves and found that there were Fit Kits available. I wasn’t worried about the fit since both his width and length measurements fell into a size 1.5 but I was impatient and wanted to see these new boots so I ordered a Fit Kit.
When I received the kit, I put the size 1.5 on and right away I could tell it was too big. It was a little better on the left front than the right but the V did not expand much on either foot and the boots were not difficult to remove. Next I applied the size 1 and was surprised to see it fit much better; the V expanded nicely. There did appear to be a slight bulge near the quarters but I felt confident I could keep it to a minimum with regular rasping. The size 1 Glove has worked well for Cal and to date we have not had any boot losses. I started trimming Cal full time a few months after purchasing the Gloves and moved him from a 6-week trim cycle to a 4-week trim cycle. Over time, his toes have gotten shorter and his fronts now measure 118mm x 122mm and 116mm x 120mm but the size 1 is still the best fit.
