A quantity of 1 is a single boot, select 2 for a pair of boots. Each increment of 2 will be treated as a pair for initial strap setup (one left one right). If you order an odd number of hoof boots, please use the notes field at checkout to request how many of “Left” or “Right”.
Single boot sales allow owners of horses with mis-matched hoof sizes to buy individually, and for easy purchase of single replacements.
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.
Hoof boots Seconds are new, with normal integrity & Performance. They are discounted only due to minor cosmetic imperfections like scuffs, color variance, or minor surface air bubbles. These blemish hoof boots are subject to the standard warranty, exchange, and return policies. Color hues may vary slightly from those shown. No customizations are available.
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 600-800 miles out of Viper hoof boots in Standard Colors.
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.
GLOBAL + EXPRESS SHIPPING
We ship worldwide.

Note: Vivid color boots are a different, slightly more giving material, which can provide a more cushioned feel.
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™ 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.
When sizing for Vipers, allow a minimum of 5mm (and max of 10mm) clearance between the hoof measurement and boot measurement, to allow for variation during the trim cycle.

I ordered a pair of boots for my horse and my farrier measured and I thought I didnt need sizing help. Lol I did. They were so nice and reached out and I sent them measurements to double check sizing. They let me know that I needed a size larger and updated my order before it shipped. Even for Next Day shipping. WHO DOES THAT!? Renegade does. The boots fit nicely and are helping our mare with a crack in her.hoof repair. Thanks so much for excellent customer service 😀
Store owner replied:
Hi Delena, Thanks so much for your review, we love hearing that the boots are helping your lovely mare, and we're so glad you are happy with our service!
These boots work great—did 2 endurance rides in them with no problems
Store owner replied:
Hi Jennifer,
We are looking back through our reviews and realized we missed sending you a quick note! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your second review with us.
Hearing that your Mystic Purple Viper Vivid Seconds powered through two endurance rides with zero problems is absolutely fantastic news! We love knowing they delivered the rugged, reliable performance you needed out on the trail.
Thank you for being such a wonderful, loyal part of the Renegade community. We hope you and your horse have logged many more happy miles together since you posted this!
Warm regards,
Renegade Support
Bella is a gaited Rocky mountain horse and she's been tough to fit boots to. I've tried easy boot, scoots and finally landed on these Renegade vipers and I couldn't be happier. They were a little bit difficult for me to figure out the adjustment for my particular horse but I think now that we've got it, it'll be great! I got to do an NATRC ride with them in early May and we locked them twice but then finally got them to stay. Like I said, my mare is a challenge.
Store owner replied:
Dear Chrissy,
Thank you for your fantastic 5-star review of the Renegade® Viper Vivid™ Hoof Boot Seconds in Mystic Purple! We’re thrilled to hear that Bella, your gaited Rocky Mountain horse, is finally enjoying a perfect fit with our Viper boots after trying other brands. We understand it can take some tweaking to get the adjustments just right for a challenging mare like Bella, and we’re so glad you nailed it for your NATRC ride in May! Your persistence and feedback mean the world to us, and we’re here to help with any future fine-tuning. Thank you for choosing Renegade and sharing your experience!
Happy trails,
Renegade Hoof Boot Support
I've used Renegade Vipers for years with my horses. My horse Sawyer needed new boots and since the color theme I use with him, is purple and black, I had to of course go with the purple. I was worried they might be too gawdy, but the color is perfect.
Store owner replied:
Hi Cathy,
Thank you so much for the review! We are thrilled to hear that the Viper Vivid Seconds in Mystic Purple are fitting your mare so well. We hope they continue to perform beautifully for you both out on the trails!
We truly appreciate your support!
Best regards,
Renegade Hoof Boot Support
Love the Viper tread with the classic heel captivator. They fit better on my narrow footed mare. And of course…purple 💜.
Store owner replied:
Hi Susan,
Thank you so much for the wonderful review!
We are so glad to hear that the combination of the Viper tread and the classic heel captivator is providing the perfect fit for your narrow-footed mare. Ensuring comfort and stability for all hoof shapes is so important to us, and it's fantastic that these boots are delivering exactly what you both need.
And you can never go wrong with a gorgeous splash of Mystic Purple! 💜
Thank you for choosing Renegade, and happy trails to you and your mare!
Best regards,
Renegade Hoof Boot Support
Have just used them once so far with my thin soled TB and on a ride in the mountains, found that once he realized that he didn't have to be cautious about having tender soles going over rocks, he really started walking out much more confidently. Looking forward to more rides!
Store owner replied:
Hi Nicole,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that the Mystic Purple Viper Vivids made such an immediate difference for your thin-soled Thoroughbred. There is nothing better than watching a horse transition from cautious, tender steps to walking out with total confidence over those rugged mountain rocks!
That Mystic Purple is a fantastic color choice, too. Thank you for welcoming us into your riding journey, and we wish you and your TB many more wonderful, confident miles ahead!
Best regards,
Renegade Hoof Boot Support
Love Renegades and really love this purple color! Perfection! Also, got help with sizing and Support was great to work with! 10/10 experience!
Store owner replied:
Hi Eve,
Thank you for your nice review! I want to help you refine your strap adjustment on your boots. You can make your pastern straps much looser so that you won't have so much extra strap overhanging. The toe straps will work better if your can shorten your cables as shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htUS6el9pbs&t=38s Ideally you want 1" of cable on each end of the rollers on the toe strap. Then, with both straps you can tuck the ends into a little tab under the o-ring. This makes removal easier and also keeps the excess strap from hanging over. Happy Trails, Renegade Support Team
I love the renegade vipers! They fit great and they are easy to put on!

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.
