Why order a fit kit?
You have taken the hoof measurements
1) Measures correspond exactly to the sizes of the hoofboots you want and the boot is forgiving : you don't need to ask for a fit kit
2) The measurements don't correspond exactly or the boots are very tight and acurate around the hoof : you need a fit kit
How can I get a fit kit?
The easiest way to order your kit if you do not speak French would be to send us an email at : contact@sosabots.com. An English speaker will answer and be able to help you.
To get a fit kit, we need to have the measurements of each hoof : width and length for each hoof, so 2 measures per hoof
You can look how to take the right measures on the page : hoof measurements.
You can choose one or several models following on our advice, your hoofpractitionner's advice or your wishes.
The cost will be 18 euros to send it and have a label to send it back (if you are in France) or the price for shipping it if you are in another country. Another cost will be 50 euros for the kit rental. These 50 euros will then be deducted from the pair of boots you will buy within a month.
We ask as well for a 150 euros deposit. This can be a a credit card (visa, mastercard) number. We will keep this until you return the fit kit.
You can as well do a bank wire. These 150 euros will be refunded.
The credit cards with limited validity cannot be accepted as deposit
The kit is rented for ONE week. If the fit kit is not back after a week, we will cash the deposit..
Veterinian models haven't got a fit kit : the sizes are enough to choose the right size.
For some models, the fit kit is compulsary as 2 measurments is not enough to find a 3 dimension boot. The fit kit is NOT necessarily a whole boot, so you cannot go on a hack or ride with it to test it. It only allows you to choose the right size and model.
If you have any problems to send us your kit within the deadline, please call us to explain, so we won't cash the deposit.
How to deal with your fit kit?
The answer is not that easy as every model is different. You can ring us up or send us an email (if you are an English speaker) and ask if you have any doubts.
There are a few general rules :
-
Try every hoof to fit and preferably not far after trimming (maximum 10 days)
-
There is no need to protect the hooves with plastic to try them. You just need to clean them, wash and dry, before you send them back.
-
Try all different models and sizes you received, that will give you a general idea.
-
The toe must go at the end of the boot, this can be the difficult part. If there is space in front of the boot, you can then loose the boot as it is too big, and the breakover won't be at the right place.
-
In general, the more the boot is adjusted and less chances there are that it turns or rubs
-
If you have any doubts and questions, please ask BEFORE sending your fit kit back
-
We will certainly ask you to look at some things and you will need to try them again
-
If you notice you ordered the wrong sizes, don't panic, please send us a mail or call (0474887903) and we'll discuss new sizes to send you.
