The sizes indicate the hoof boot sole dimensions. We recommend selecting a size that is about 5-10mm longer and wider than the hoof measurements after a proper Natural Style Trim. The sizing shows length first then width second.

NOTE: COLOR MAY VARY SLIGHTLY FROM YOUR SCREEN DISPLAY.

First select a size. We offer free sizing!
ULTRA DURABLE HOOF BOOT MATERIAL

The material used to make our Hoof Boots is an ultra durable polyurethane for a very long lasting boot, which is also designed to deliver even more hoof and joint protection than the horse would get barefoot without hoof boots.

Viper® Shield is the hardest wearing material - You can expect 600-1000 miles out of Viper® Shield hoof boots.

Viper® Vivid™ is an ultra durable polyurethane resulting in an extremely long lasting boot, while offering a very slightly softer material, and Viper® Glow material has slightly more give.

MADE IN THE USA

Renegade® hoof boots were invented in and are made in the United States of America.

The Renegade® Viper™ Shield Hoof Boot provides durable, lightweight, long-lasting hoof protection for barefoot horses, eliminating the expense of metal shoes and allowing natural flexion of the hoof for optimum circulation and healthy hooves.

Viper™ Hoof Boots have been developed over 20 years for maximum mileage, hoof stability and endurance hoof boot for barefoot horses. With competition-proven pivoting heel captivator design, a military grade cabling system and durable straps, the Viper™ Hoof Boot features a sleek look and bright colors, while the ultra-durable polyurethane used to make the Viper Shield™ results in a seriously tough, long-lasting boot. Deep tread grooves provide longer-lasting grip to bite the ground, and display the artistic talent of our hoof boot designer, Kirt Lander.

This hoof boot design was trimmed down using finite element analysis, resulting in a hoof boot with more robust tread which weighs around 15% less than the Classic, and offers more lateral clearance on both the Boot Shell and the Heel Captivator. A deeper Heel Captivator 'gullet' allows for improved pastern bone clearance. The inside of the hoof boot is texturized and the Heel Captivator Liner is bonded in place for more stability in action. The Viper™ logo and boot size are stamped large inside of each boot for quick and easy size readability.

Customer photo review of Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

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.

Customer photo review of Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

One of the best customer experiences I've had in awhile! From measurement guidance to quick email communication ensuring I ordered the right size and model for each hoof - it was seamless and quick. My older gelding is happy and barefoot in a pasture 24/7 but LOVES his boots for rockier terrain on trail. Thank you!! We'll definitely be back for more.

Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for sharing the picture of your gelding in his new boots! We are so happy to hear that our team could help you find the perfect model and fit for each hoof, and even happier to know your older gelding is loving them out on the rocky trails. Seeing photos of happy, comfortable horses in their Renegades makes our day! Happy trails to you both, and we look forward to helping you again in the future! Best regards, Renegade Hoof Boot Support

Customer photo review of Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

Love the Viper. We've been using them over two years now, mainly on rocky and hard terrain. They last us a whole endurance riding season till I replace the shell (around 1300 km). No rubbing, not even if your ride in mud or sand. Can recommend them to everyone looking for a long lasting comfy boot for their pony 🐎.

Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

Store owner replied: Hi Nina, Thank you for being such a loyal customer, and huge congratulations on completing your endurance seasons! Clocking 1300 km on rocky, muddy, and sandy terrain is incredible. We are absolutely thrilled that the Viper Shields provide that level of long-lasting durability and rub-free comfort for your pony. Here’s to many more miles together! Happy trails! Best regards, Renegade Hoof Boot Support

Customer photo review of Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

Overall we (the ranch) love the renegade boots. However I think even with the measurement it still might be too small. We are going to use the 140x140 for another horse and order a pair of 145x145 just cause the heal bulb sticks out farther than the rear of the sole.

Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

Store owner replied: Hi Mark,Thank you for sharing your photo and feedback!We are so glad to hear that everyone at the ranch loves Renegade boots! Hoof shapes can definitely be tricky, and it sounds like you made the perfect call. Reusing the $140 \times 140$ boots for another horse and bumping up to the $145 \times 145$ size should give that heel bulb the extra room and coverage it needs.If you need any assistance with the new order or fine-tuning the fit once they arrive, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Customer photo review of Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

I’ve loved Renegades for years now but I just ordered the traction studs and love the difference they make! I live and ride in the Big South Fork region of middle TN. Lots of great trails but also lots of rocks and the studs really help with the large sandstone rocks we encounter…gives my girl more traction for sure which equates to more safety for us both!

Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

Store owner replied: This is awesome! Also, what a cool place to ride!! We love the photo :)

Customer photo review of Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

They fit my mare well. We have ridden over rocky terrain and through water with them. Last ride was 8.7 miles long. They do not rub, twist nor have they came off her hoof even though she is at the end of her trim cycle. The only complaint I have is adjusting the cables. It's not as easy as videos make it look especially after dirt gets in the little hole. Otherwise so far perfect boot for us.

Store owner replied: Thanks so much Teresa! We really appreciate your review!

Customer photo review of Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

The rubber loops could be larger. Hard to get the straps thru.

Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

Store owner replied: Hi James, We can help you with your adjustments. It looks like you need to shorten your cables. Here is a video showing how to do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htUS6el9pbs&t=38s Make sure to keep an equal amount of cable on both sides of the rollers on the toe strap. This will keep the heel captivator in the proper position. Here is a video showing how to adjust the straps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyixI_AC1Bg&t=1s If we can help with anything further, please contact us at: support@renegadehoofboots.com or call 888-817-4794.

Customer photo review of Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

The Renegade team helped me find the right size boots, and they fit perfectly. So far we've had no problems with the fitment and durability, we've been on 3 rides with the boots, the longest lasting 8 hours, and there's been no damage or wear to the boots so far, and with a quick clean they look brand new. Absolutely wonderful.

Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

Store owner replied: Hi Dennis, Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for sharing the photo! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that our team could help you find the perfect fit for your horse. Going on an 8-hour ride is a serious test, and we're so glad to hear the Black Knight Viper Shields handled it like a champ, stayed secure, and cleaned up looking brand new. Your satisfaction and your horse's comfort are exactly why we do what we do. Happy trails, and thank you for being a part of the Renegade family! Best regards, Renegade Hoof Boot Support

Customer photo review of Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

I bought Renegade boots for my Thoroughbred with thin soles on the recommendation of the business owner at the stable I recently moved to. These boots did not disappoint! I have definitely put them to the test over the last few months in all kinds of different terrain and type of riding...galloping in open fields, jumping, road riding, trailering, lateral dressage work, water crossings, bogs, hill work, etc. (all on a green horse learning balance and how to move properly) with absolutely no issues with the boots!! No rubs, not ever loosing a boot, and he has remained sound and happy! I can't say enough abour these boots. I will be forever a client of this company. 😊 The only thing I will say is reach out to the company to help you size your horse properly. I hired a person from a boot sizing company to come and size my horse and ordered my 1st pair on her recommendations. When they arrived they absolutely were huge on him, so big they couldn't be used safely. Due to the return policy at the Renegade company (the boots had the gel pad added in them which makes the boots not returnable) I will have to resell them locally which I probably will not recover the total cost I paid due to the international shipping costs and tarrifs I paid. Do yourself a huge favor and use the company's free sizing option! The boots they recommend fit 100% One happy horse and rider!

Customer photo review of Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

These boots have changed the way my horse smokeys and I ride. We are now able to do trail rides without getting rocks and debris inside his hoof. We can even do some amazing events with the ride and tie organization. They protect my horses hoof and stay on even when we go through some pretty deep mud and sand. I would recommend theses boots to any one who loves riding and eventing with thier horse.

Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

Store owner replied: Hi Donna, Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for sharing the photo! We are absolutely thrilled to hear how much these boots have changed the way you and Smokey ride.

We have LOVED our new renegade boots! They came sized perfectly (we did the online sizing with photos) and they are so easy to put on/take off. My boy, Taz, is doing wonderfully with them! We've covered all types of terrain and the fit is fantastic 👏 My riding buddy even got some for her draft x! A win-win 🥰

Customer photo review of Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

I ordered these boots after joining the local Fox Hunt Club. It was recommended to me that I put shoes on my horse because of the terrain we would be hacking in. I prefer not to shoe my horses if I can help it; so after some research I decided to try Renegade hoof boots. The boot sizing recommendation was spot on; the process was easy and the sizing team was very helpful. My boots shipped out shortly after ordering and arrived quickly. I’m very thankful to have an alternative to traditional shoes!

Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

Store owner replied: Hi Jamie, Thank you for the thoughtful review—and for the fantastic photo! 🐎🖤 We’re so glad the Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boots – Black Knight are proving to be a solid alternative to traditional shoes for your Fox Hunt Club adventures.

I just got my first pair of renegade’s and I couldn’t be more pleased! They are easy to put on, stays on, no rub, no trapping of heat etc… I’ve had flexhoofboots for years and struggle with the “putting on” process because of arthritis in my hands. Now im saving up for the 2nd pair for my Icelandic’s hind feet and waiting for the pony sizes for my Shetland 🥰 🇳🇴

Customer photo review of Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boot - Black Knight

Just got my first pair of trail boots. 8 rides now I have been thru mud, creek water, rocks, uphill, downhill, side hill, tall grass, gravel and everything in between and they stay ON!!! I will be buying another pair for my second horse. They stay on!!! They take less than 5 minutes to put on. I love that I won’t miss a ride due to a surprise missing nail on shoe. These are the best! Only problem now is choosing a color! I am truly sorry I waited so long to try them…🤠

Cannot say enough good things about these boots! We got a new set of 4 for our half arab gelding, Tucker. Customer service was bang-on for size suggestions. Such a great company to work with. Tucker is happily eating up trails in style now! No more rubs, these boots are so comfortable and adjustable. Will be buying a second set for my mare. Customer service was fast and super helpful as well!

Looking stylish while knowing your horse is happy! We recently have gone barefoot and I was worried my horse might not like the boots but he doesn’t even know he’s wearing them! Love that come in lots of colours so I can keep the backs different to fronts as they are different sizes

Customer video review of Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boots - Black Knight

Great product ! 1000% recommend ! Rode on rough terrains with lots of irregularities and grit but also in super sticky and deep mud - boots stayed on no matter what, horse felt fresh and comfy and moves reaaally nicely with them, he feels the terrain a lot better than when he had regular shoes on - he hasn't tripped or stumbled on his own feet once since. I'm super happy and grateful for these hoof boots, can't wait to go out there and explore more with my horse !

Love the boots! Tried them on and they fit beautifully!! While we tried them on my horse decided to be a brat and rear up and cut her head open and do all that stuff. During the entire time she was freaking out the boots stayed on wonderfully and didn’t move or leave a mark! Best purchase for my crazy Thorough mare, these things do wonders!

I’m a mounted police officer. I used Renegade boots on my mare Ginny this year to avoid having to have shoes put on. These boots were a lifesaver, offering her comfort and traction during our long 10-12 hr shifts.

Customer photo review of Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boots - Black Knight

The back boots were a obvious choice. As a proud owner of orange and blue pair I needed a pair that would fit all my saddle pads (the matching is so important :D) and also boot that i could pick up for a competitions or photoshoots without the boots taking a little too much attention. I love them! Mostly I use them in the arena for working equitation and dressage training, sometimes i use them on the trails as well. These are really my "special" onces for the occasions that i want to feel a little more classy but also want my horse to feel confident, comfortable and safe.

Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boots - Black Knight

Store owner replied: Dear Petra, thank you so much for your fantastic feedback on the Renegade® Viper Shield™ Hoof Boots in Black Knight! We’re thrilled to hear how much you love your black pair for their versatility in matching your saddle pads (we totally get the importance of that perfect match! :D) and their ability to shine at competitions, photoshoots, working equitation, dressage, and even on the trails. Your kind words about how they make you and your horse feel classy, confident, comfortable, and safe truly warm our hearts. We absolutely adore the photos you shared of your horse looking stunning in the boots—thank you for sharing such beautiful moments! We did notice in one of the photos that the cables might need a slight adjustment to ensure the perfect fit. We’d love to offer you a free fit check to make sure everything is just right—please feel free to email us at support@renegadehoofboots.com, and we’ll be happy to assist!

Customer photo review of Renegade® Viper™ Black Knight

After months of research we decided to go with Renegade hoof boots for our barefoot horse, and we are extremely happy with the fit, adjustability, and ease of putting them on and taking them off. Our horse seems very comfortable in them- she took to them right away, had zero issue trotting in them right off the bat. We use them for walking on roads and trail rides with rougher terrain. I highly recommend taking the requested photos and submitting them to Renegade for expert sizing and fit recommendations. We are 100% satisfied with our purchase. Thanks Renegade!

Renegade® Viper™ Black Knight

Store owner replied: Hi Sarah, Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for sharing the photo! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your research led you to Renegade and that you are 100% satisfied with the results.

Taking those photos makes a huge difference, and we're so glad our team could help get you the perfect fit. Thank you for choosing Renegade to support your horse's barefoot journey. Happy trails to you both! Warm regards, Renegade Hoof Boot Support

Customer photo review of Renegade® Viper™ Black Knight - 150x150

They are the best boots I have ever gotten for my horse. He loves them and is pain free! They have held up amazing through mud, rocks, water, up and down muddy slopes, and all terrain! I would recommend and always buy from now on. They clean up easily after going through mud and the Velcro continues to stick like new! I’m so glad I found them and have never been more satisfied with a pair of hoof boots. They have been better than putting shoes on my horse and allow his feet to heal and strengthen naturally while having fun riding!

Renegade® Viper™ Black Knight - 150x150

Store owner replied: Hi Kate, Thank you so much for the fantastic review and for sharing the photos! Hearing that your horse is happy, pain-free, and thriving completely made our day. That is exactly why we do what we do! We love that the Viper Black Knights are holding up beautifully through the mud, rocks, and tough terrain, and it's great to hear that the Velcro is still sticking like new. Providing a natural, healthy alternative to shoes that keeps you both out on the trails having fun is the ultimate goal. Thank you for your high recommendation and for choosing Renegade! Happy trails to you and your horse! Warm regards, Renegade Hoof Boot Support

These are the best boots ever! We can now walk, trot and canter confidently on any terrain. These boots are comfortable on my horse, don’t rub, and don’t come off. My whole barn is looking to get some for their horses now!

Thank you so much for spreading the word and for choosing Renegade. Happy riding to you and your horse! Warm regards, Renegade Hoof Boot Support

Customer photo review of Renegade® Viper™ Black Knight

I bought a pair on Black Friday, went back within hours to purchase another pair (decided to boot up my boy all the way!). Customer service was wonderful! "Tanner" is such a better ride now that he's no longer really barefoot (no risk of sole bruising) healthier hooves vs shoeing (nail holes!) not to mention less expensive to just have him trimmed. The initial adjustment is a bit tricky but after that just pop em on, Velcro & go (and no I didn't have the straps in the "O" ring keepers in the photo). I HIGHLY recommend these!

Renegade® Viper™ Black Knight

Store owner replied: Hi Annie, thank you so much for your review! We would like to help you further with your strap adjustments, and how to tuck them in under the keeper straps. We want you to have the best fitting boots and strap and cable adjustments. You are so close to having things set at optimum. Please email: support@renegadehoofboots.com

Customer photo review of Renegade® Viper™ Black Knight

Transitioning Exracehorses to barefoot can be challenging. I have successfully transitioned my two OTTBS with the help of Renegade Vipers. We ride hard trails. We gallop, we climb. I also three day event and jump one of my Thoroughbreds. I have never had a rub in five years of daily riding. My last set of Renegades lasted over 3 years of daily riding. I have tried 3 other hoof boots that don't even come close to the quality and comfort for my horse. And it's wonderful they are made in my home state of Arizona!

Store owner replied: Hi Susan, Thank you so much for the incredible review and for sharing the photo! We know we are replying a bit late, but we just had to reach out and say thank you. Transitioning Off-the-Track Thoroughbreds (OTTBs) to barefoot is no small feat, and it is absolutely amazing to hear how successfully your two horses have made the switch with the help of Renegade Vipers. From hard trails and climbing to galloping, jumping, and three-day eventing—you really put our boots to the ultimate test! Getting five years of daily riding with zero rubs, plus a single set lasting over three years, is phenomenal. We are so proud to be a part of your equestrian journey and extra thrilled to have your support as a fellow Arizonan! Thank you for choosing Renegade and for sharing your wonderful success story with us. Happy riding and jumping! Warm regards, Renegade Hoof Boot Support

Great Product! Perfect Fit!

Store owner replied: Hi Mitch, Thank you for the review! We're thrilled to hear your Renegade Hoof Boots are a perfect fit and working so well for you. Happy trails! Best, Renegade Hoof Boot Support

Great fit. Easy to put on and take off, cleans easily and all parts are possible to replace with spares. Works for everyday riding, jumping and turnout. Plus on the material that does not pack snow underneath so they work great during winter.

Store owner replied: Hi Andreas, Thanks so much for the review! Awesome to hear your Renegades are working out so well for everything from jumping to turnout, and that they treat you well in the winter snow too. Happy riding! Best, Renegade Hoof Boot Support

So far, the boots seem like they work to protect the horses' feet, but the O-ring system to keep the velcro closed could use another look. Both my husband and I find the O-rings very annoying to use, and they don't really work that great. The velcro comes out of the O-rings, and two on one boot have already broken at the same time.

Does my horse need Vipers or Classic Hoof Boots?

Read our article on the differences and benefits of each model of hoof boot here.

Can I add customizations?

Yes. Simply click on your desired options from above and add them to your cart. Be sure to add any information in the cart notes - for example if you buy 4 boots but want to swap heel captivators on only two, or add studs only on the front boots, please provide plenty of detail so we can make the customizations to the right boots!

What if I want to buy more than one boot?

Just adjust the quantity for each size / model boot you need. Please let us know in the notes field at checkout which hoof the boots will go on, so we can put the velcro on facing the right way for each hoof.

If you buy a pair or a set of 4 we will assume that these are going left and right and put the velcro on as a pair or a set.

How long will Renegade hoof boots last?

Mileage will depend on the terrain, speed, and how the horse moves. On average, it is expected to get 500-600 miles out of the Classic model, and 600-800 miles out of the Vipers.

Abrasive rough terrain, or horses who drag their toes will likely get fewer miles out of their boots.
