RE: [RC] old Macs inserts? are they necessary? - marta kozlowskasandy, my mare has only been barefoot since december. prior to that she had narrow contracted mule-like feet. since december her feet have expanded greatly and gained an entirely new shape. however, when i measured her feet for the boots it turned out that her length is 5 inches (size 6) and her width is 4 1/2 inches (size 1). so the recommendation came back that i use the inserts b/c of this difference between the width and length size. so when i do get the boots and the inserts i shouldn't just try to jam them in but first check for space and then trim the inserts if necessary? i was really hoping to avoid the inserts altogether. hoping someone would tell me that's not necessary but i guess if the boots will twist otherwise then i better get them... thanks! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandy Terp" <hotspots@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2003 03:09:23 -0400 To: "ridecamp" <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, "marta kozlowska" <marta_k@xxxxxxxx> Subject: RE: [RC] old Macs inserts? are they necessary? I use and sell Old Macs. The inserts are not bad to deal with. They Velcro over the side of the boot to take up the space if your horses foot is not round. It is very important to fill the space in the boots so that the strap does not rub. I have used the inserts one side of the boot if I am working on a problem foot and one side is flatter than the other. I put my inserts where I want them and they don't move even taking the boots on and off. If you have any question on the fit take a piece of cardboard or stiff paper and trace your horses feet then just slide them into the boot. You can see what kind of space you will have on the sides. If you have any other questions just give me a yell.
