What’s new?

Good news for horses whose hooves were too narrow to fit into the Old Mac’s!

The shape of the sole on the G2 is different that the original. The new shape is slightly longer than wide, and will fit a greater percentage of horse’s feet. This is an important feature that will allow more horses to wear the boots comfortably and without inserts. 

Along with the new shapes comes new sizing (9 and 10).

You will have to carefully measure and review the new charts in order to fit your new boots. By integrating the side flaps into the sole and adding a front protective shield, Old Mac’s has made the G2 more stylish and streamlined as well.

The side flap integration narrows the boot, and reduces the amount of bulk over the foot. The new Front Protective Shield prevents wear at the front of the boot, making it more durable. The rear of the boot is now integrated into the sole. This design change strengthens the rear of the boot and eliminates the possibility of fitting the boot on a hoof that is too long. In addition the rivets have been removed which could cause irritation to the frog or heel area.
 The G2 has a new tread pattern that provides aggressive traction while eliminating pressure on sensitive internal hoof structures. While traction is extremely important, very aggressive traction can inhibit a horse’s natural way of going, and can increase stress on joints, tendons and upper extremities. Another enhancement of the sole is the removal of the point at the toe. The G2 tread is rounded for a natural breakover, softening the miles and miles of riding you’ll do in your boots.
