How to Measure Old Mac's Multi-Purpose Horse Boots
 
How to Measure Old Mac's Multi-Purpose Horse Boots

Old Mac’s G2 (generation two) are available in 11 sizes (0-10) with each size increasing by 5mm (3/16 inch) in width and length.

Note 1:  Old Mac’s sizes are in no way comparable to metal shoes sizes.

Note 2: the original Old Mac's were available in 9 sizes (0-8) and its size ranges are NOT the same as the G2.

The unique design feature of Old Mac's allows for width and length adjustment and are therefore suitable for both wide and narrow hooves. Old Mac's sizing caters for natural hoof growth between trimming. If your horse's hooves are excessively long and narrow, Old Mac's inserts are available separately.

Immediately after a proper trim, measure your horse's hooves. If you intend to wear Old Mac's for transportation over metal shoes then you must take your measurements AFTER shoeing. Correct size selection and proper fitting is very important and will ensure maximum performance from Old Mac's Multi Purpose Horse Boots™.

Step 1 Measure the LENGTH of your horse's hoof from the toe of the hoof to the buttress of heel (as indicated in the diagram). On the Old Mac's size chart below circle the length measurement closest to your horse's length.

Step 2 Measure the WIDEST part of your horse's hoof.  On the Old Mac's size chart below circle the width measurement closest to your horse's width.

important size notes

  • If your horse is between sizes, go to the larger size.
     
  • It is common for the LENGTH measurement to exceed the WIDTH measurement by up to four sizes. If the width measurement exceeds the length by more than one size (an extremely short and wide foot) OR if the length exceeds the width by more than four sizes (a very long and narrow foot), we do not recommend Old Mac's.
     
  • Old Mac’s Inserts should ONLY be used:
  • If the length exceeds the width by more than four sizes on the size chart

  • For a club foot

  • If one hoof is distinctly smaller than the other

Feel free to call for assistance.
Accurate sizing is imperative to a good fit.
We cannot exchange used boots.
