Easyboot Flip Flop - FAQs
Easyboot Flip Flop - Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long can the Flip Flop be left on?
A: The Flip Flop can be left on for 4-6 weeks.
Q: Is the Flip Flop sold in pairs?
A: No, the Flip Flop is sold individually.
Q: Do I need a length measurement?
A: No, to adjust the length, the Flip Flop may need to be trimmed down. You can use hoof nippers, a rasp, or a table saw.
Q: Is the sizing the same as the Glove and Glue on?
A: Yes. The width measurements will be the same, and the length can be trimmed to fit.
Q: Can the Flip Flop be heat fitted?
A: Yes, the Flip Flop can be heat fitted the same way the Glue-On or Glove is heat fitted.
Q: Can pour in packing be used with the Flip Flop?
A: Yes, pour-in packings can be used with the Flip Flop. We recommend Vettec Equipak Soft, Glue-U Shufill Silicone, or dental impression material.
Q: Which adhesive can be used when applying the Flip Flop?
A: We recommend using Vettec Adhere. EasyShoe Bond Fast Set and Slow Set may also be used.
Q: Is the Flip Flop compatible with the Therapy Click System?
A: Yes, the Flip Flop is compatible with the Therapy Click System.
Q: Can the hoof prep be done with the hoof on the ground?
A: Yes, since the Flip Flop’s only gluing surface is on the dorsal vertical wall, the horse can be standing flat if needed to keep the horse comfortable.
Q: Why is the junction at the cuff and the base so thick?
A: Since the back portion of the base has so much movement, this thicker area ensures the base will not separate from the cuff. Do not modify this with a hoof buffer or rasp, as this could cause the Flip Flop to fail.
Q: Is the Flip Flop a shoe or a boot?
A: Both. It has the benefits of a boot but can be left on for the same duration as a shoe.
Q: What is the difference between EasyShoes and the Flip Flop?
A: The Flip Flop is much easier to apply than the EasyShoes; also, the Flip Flop is compatible with the Therapy Click System, whereas the EasyShoes are not.
Q: Do I have to worry about rocks or small debris getting lodged between the base of the Flip Flop and the hoof?
A: No, during testing, there were no complications with anything getting lodged. We recommend checking after each ride. Adding a pour-in pad will ensure nothing can become lodged in the front portion of the Flip Flop. The flexibility in the rear part of the Flip Flop prevents anything from getting stuck in the back half of the foot.
Q: Can the Flip Flop be reset?
A: No, we do not recommend resetting the Flip Flop.
Q: How do I remove the Flip Flop?
A: To remove the Flip Flop, you will need to pull the base away from the hoof, then cut the junction of the cuff and base, removing the entire base off of the cuff. Then, use pull-offs to carefully remove the cuff from the hoof wall.
