Hi Raven.

I'm a little late getting back to this thread about the Renegades.

I am not certain where you have received your erroneous information about the Renegade Boots, but since you didn't say where, I can only assume it may have been someone who would rather not see the Renegades in production.

I had the pleasure of meeting the developer of the boot at a ride a short time ago, and he told me he is selling only to hoof care practitioners at this time and are flooded with orders selling this way and that is why they have not opened sales to the general public yet.

He is not involved in litigation or court in any way whatsoever and any statement made to the contrary is false and defamatory. You might want to let your source know this....

The boot simply works too good, and the demand is too high  and they aren't made in China, mass produced, where quality control could be an issue.

If you want to see for yourself how well the boot is performing, look at the recent posts at www.renegadehoofboots.com/news.html

The developer also told me he is working hard to increase the production volume so he may eventually release them to the general public.

 

You also made comment about how the boot is open and would allow dirt in...well that same design also lets dirt and water out. That isn't something you see in most other boots.

 

So, for those who wanted the "rest of the story"  :) there it is...

 

Happy to set the record straight,

 

Lori B.
