My horse has to be trimmed every 4 weeks and has extremely thin soles that are prone to abscesses. These boots gave my boy a new lease on life! We are blazing trails daily!
I love these boots. Its been a struggle to find hoof boots that fit him as he grows and these are perfect! He is much happier and more comfortable in these!
Use Renegades on both my horses. One uses classics, one with vipers. Lots of rough trails, never had a boot fall off, last for 2 riding seasons of 6 months each. Added bonus is I can keep my horses barefoot which saves wear to the pasture, more economic option compared to shoeing around. These boots are great, highly recommend them.
Put the renegades to the test today! Packing out wild game. 1100 ft of elevation loss to get to the animal, and 1100 ft back to the top. Very steep and rocky country, but Nox never took a wrong step with his boots on . They are worth their weight in gold!
I LOVE my Renegade Viper Shield boots! They have been such a relief for my tender soled gelding, Sebastian. So far, they have been trail, road, gravel, AND spook approved (he rears and twists around when he spooks)!
My ONLY reason for giving 4 stars instead of five is, when we rode on the beach, he threw both rear boots at a full gallop, and I had to literally put them back together when I got home (The cables came out of the pulley buttons, which is odd because I have never messed with them). Fortunately nothing was broken, and everything repaired fine, it was just disappointing that the rear boots could not handle a gallop down the beach. The front boots however, have never had any issue, and have been lovely!!
Sizing chart and services were spot on! Speedy response from customer service and shipping after purchase was so fast! Our boots arrived and fit perfectly. Haven’t thrown one yet and am confident we won’t. People stop and ask us where they’re from- Love our Renegades!
My Mustang Traveler in his boots. I have purchased these boots over the years. They are adjustable and have good sizing support. My Arab, TW, Quarter/Arab and now my mustang. I ride flat trails and mountain trails, cross water, slow pace fast pace.
Love the renegade hoof boots and especially love them in the bright colours. They keep my horse happy and her hooves healthy, and they look great on her too 🩷
I love the renegade boots. The Arizona copper is so pretty and they stay on so well. My friend and I went galloping for about a mile and no problem with the boots. They don’t rub and they don’t come off
My mare is 26 years old and we are historical reenactors. Even though they aren’t historically accurate, my mare wore your boots through a whole day of staging a steam train robbery event this week. These boots keep her so surefooted and comfortable even on long days of riding and stayed on her feet over all sorts of terrain. We also trail ride a ton in these, we love them. Thank you for fantastic hoof boots and helping to keep my horse doing what she loves!
Also, the free sizing tool was accurate, fast, and easy. The boots also shipped and arrived quicker than the estimate. Highly recommend!
I really like these boots. Those are my first pair, so I don´t really have anything to compare them to, but they haven´t come off a single time. I have used them on rocky mountain terrain, in water and mud, also on longer day rides. My horse is much more comfortable. I am going to purchase boots for his back hooves soon.
It took nearly 6 weeks to get them shiped to Mexico, but this is due to the supplier. Just consider longer waiting times if you order from abroad.
Boots fit perfectly! They climbed many mountains, crossed creeks and zero issues but I do find the straps a bit long, not sure if they can be shortened at all.
Just completed my first 50 mile endurance on my Arab without any twisting or lameness! Im sad they didn’t work well for my thoroughbred since she overreaches.
I have used these boots on a 10 and 12 mile rides. The trails were hilly, wet in areas, and rocky and they were great! The company helped me select the sizes which was good because he needed two different sizes. No rubs and my horse even seems to like them.
Officially a Renegade convert! I had a full set of another hoof boot brand for 3 different horses and endless issues with them twisting and falling off. Sent in sizing photos and quickly went from 1 pair to 3 to 6 - zero issues with fit and they are super easy to put on. The first 3 pairs were “Ultra Blems” and I had to hunt to find the “issues” with them.

The boots are great in any terrain, even in a lake :D

These boots have been a life saver for my new horse that I am transitioning out of shoes. He is obviously sore but when he wears his renegades, he is perfectly comfortable and I've even been able to keep him lightly going under saddle until his feet are more solid. I bought a second pair of these boots just so I'll have an option of color and to keep a pair clean and ready to go at any moment! I sent my pictures in with measurements and they recommended his size which fit absolutely perfect. I will always have a pair of these on hand now.
Store owner replied:
Hi Aimee,
Thank you so much for the review and for sharing the great photo! We're so glad the sizing recommendation hit the mark and that your new horse is staying comfortable during his barefoot transition. It’s wonderful to hear he's feeling so good under saddle and that you're enjoying having a backup pair ready to go. Happy riding to you both!

It took one exchange but the final resulting pair of purple Vipers were perfect. I don’t have a pic of the thick black mud we find in the Adirondacks, but the boots stayed on thru all of our muddy, rocky, root-y terrain!
Store owner replied:
Hi Heléne,
Thank you so much for the review and for sharing the great photos! We're so glad the exchange went smoothly and that your Mystic Purple Vipers held up perfectly through all that tough Adirondack mud, rocks, and roots. Happy trails to you both!

The boots look good and I like the color, but they don’t fit super great. It seemed snug when I put it on, but after each trail ride, I find a TON of small rocks inside the boots so apparently it’s big. He does not like to wear them which sucks, even after dozens of rides
Store owner replied:
Thank you Karoline for your review! We love the Arizona Copper color, but we’re so sorry to hear about the rock buildup and discomfort. Looking at your photo, the left hind boot isn't positioned quite right, which is likely letting debris inside—a quick adjustment usually makes a world of difference!
We'd love to help you troubleshoot. Please email support@renegadehoofboots.com with ground-level photos of the boots on your horse from the front, side, and back, as well as a shot with the heel cap pulled down showing how the heel sits in the back of the boot. We’ll get this dialed in for you!
Best regards,
Renegade Hoof Boot Support
Great communication from the beginning; answering questions before I ordered and quick turnaround on the sizing. My horse doesn’t even know she has the boots on, and we have had so much fun on the trails and in the puddles! I do recommend Renegade Hoof Boots!
Store owner replied:
Thank you Linsey so much for the wonderful review and recommendation! We are so glad our team could help answer your questions and get your sizing sorted out quickly. It is fantastic to hear that your horse is moving so comfortably in her Dark Rose Vipers—puddle splashing and all!
Wishing you many more fun trail rides ahead!

„At what time do you have to be home from the barn?“
„When my new boots start to glow…!😍
The glow-effect has been secondary, the color was just too great ! But actually it‘s pretty cool they DO have this effect!
I also have stirrups with lights in case we get home a Little to late…But these boots will make neighbours turn their heads 😍
The Boots fit because of measuring and sending pictures to the company. I ordered them from Germany and prefered the Service to get some support and advice! With the option of returning them, in case the DON‘T fit. But they do perfectly!
I never lost a boot and my horse immediately walked very confident wearing them ! I love them!
Store owner replied:
Thank you Milena so much for another fantastic review! We love that your Caribbean Dream Vipers are already turning heads in Germany—and how cool that the glow-in-the-dark effect adds that extra fun (and safety!) when staying late at the barn.
We are so glad our remote photo fitting service helped you get that perfect, secure fit, and it is wonderful to hear your horse is moving with such confidence in them. Thank you for trusting us all the way from overseas!
Happy trails!

Those straps are really special! I wouldn‘t get them in Germany, so I hope, they‘ll last for a long time! It was absolutely worth it, to pay extra to get them instead of just black ones. I truly love the combination with the color of my Boots! Together it is pure summer vibe!
I already have boots in „copper“ and still like this color, but it’s fun to get special designs and colors! If all These variations were easily available in Germany, I‘d shop quite more often…I love them!
Store owner replied:
Thank you Milena so much for the amazing review and for sharing your photo! We are so happy to hear that the Sunset straps bring pure summer vibes to your setup, and that ordering them all the way from Germany was completely worth it. Enjoy every moment riding with your unique custom style!

Rapid response in regards to sizing. And they were very accurate. Quick shipping also
Store owner replied:
Thank you Dawn so much for the great review! We are so glad to hear our team got back to you quickly with accurate sizing advice and that your ultra-blem Vipers arrived fast.
As you start using your new boots, just a quick tip for the best fit: we always recommend keeping the pastern strap nice and loose—enough to fit most of your hand underneath. You can then fold the extra strap length over and tuck it underneath the O-rings to keep it neat and secure!
Cheers,
Renegade Hoof Boot Support
The pad to end, ALL pads!
It sits my endurance saddle so well, no movement, no slip, nothing. The combination of the quick drying fabric and the merino wool means that it dries faster than my other wool pad and so I have only had to get one (sadly - but I'm sure I'll find a reason for another 😆 )
Also I'm all about the pink and black so that's a nice extra!
NEVER STOP DOING THESE! 🩷🖤🩷🖤🩷🖤
Store owner replied:
Thank you Lulu so much for the incredible review! We are so thrilled to hear that your Archer pad is the ultimate match for your endurance saddle—keeping everything locked in place with no slipping. It is awesome to hear that the quick-dry fabric and merino wool combo is performing so well for you (and we love that the pink and black color scheme hit the spot!).
Thank you for the amazing support!
Warmest regards,
Renegade Hoof Boot Support
Fits great and they dont fall off even in the most technical terrain!

Thank you Anna so much for the fantastic review and for sharing such a great photo! We are so thrilled to hear that your Cosmic Orange Vipers are fitting great and staying totally secure, even through the most technical terrain. Happy trails!

I love these boots! After years of other boots that wouldn't stay on at a trot these were awesome WTC and even a gallop up hill after my hanovarian big toddler got bucky into the canter.
Store owner replied:
Thank you Brenda so much for the awesome review and for sharing such a great photo! We are so glad to hear that your "To Classic" boots stayed totally secure through all gaits—even during a big uphill gallop and some toddler bucking! Wishing you many more fun, secure rides.
Warmest regards,

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit den Hufschuhen, Beratung zur Passform optimal. Schuhe passen gut und in allen Gangarten haben wir noch keinen Schuh verloren. Bei den Klettverschlüssen muss ich noch ein Stückchen abschneiden und umnähen, da die Enden mir zu lang sind aber ansonsten bin ich und mein Pferd rund um zufrieden... jetzt wird sich zeigen wie lange die Schuhe halten.
Store owner replied:
Thank you Lisa so much for the wonderful review and for sharing such a great photo! We are so glad to hear that the sizing advice was spot on, the boots are staying secure in all gaits, and you and your horse are loving your Black Knight Vipers.
Happy trails!

Love my Renegade hoof boots! Great on rugged Missouri trails!

Thank you Christy so much for the great review! We are thrilled to hear that your Renegade Viper Boots are taking on those rugged Missouri trails like a champ - thanks for sending the photo too! Happy riding!

These are my first renegades and I will not be using any other boots now! They fit great and stay in place so well. Renegade customer service is also outstanding!
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much! We love this feedback and are so glad you're pleased and enjoying the versatility of Renegades!
I got a brand new fresh pair for our 25 mile endurance ride. I adjusted them at ride camp and they never budged, and no rubs for the entire ride! Love when I can focus on our ride and not worry about our boots.
Store owner replied:
Wow those Caribbean Glow boots really pop on a bay and love the matching halter, thank you for the great review!
My horse likes them and the fit is good. These viper boots are easy to put on and take off. I switched the straps because foxtails were getting stuck in the Velcro.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for the review and the photo, Lindy! We're thrilled to hear your horse is liking them and that the Atomic Green Vipers are working well for you.
As a quick reminder, please make sure the upper pastern strap stays nice and loose. You should easily be able to fit four fingers or most of your hand between the strap and your horse's pastern to prevent any rubbing and to allow the captivator to function properly.
Best regards,
Renegade Hoof Boot Support
