Heat Test on Perforated Boots

All Majyk Equipe Boots are designed with a perforated inner bio-foam. Bio-foam is a non-neoprene material designed to help prevent heat build up. Unlike neoprene, it is also anti-microbial and does not harbor bacteria and fungus in the same way that neoprene liners can. This results in a more sanitary and comfortable eco-system for your horse's legs.

Inner perforated Bio-foam present on all Majyk Equipe Boots.

Mean Minimum and Maximum temperatures of skin surface according to type of boot for 129 horses upon completion of the cross country phase of a one day event.

"Distribution of temperatures under the tendon boots at the finish line of two Cross Country Events (BE 100 - 3 day event with roads and tracks, n=61; CCI* = 2 day show jumping and cross country short format event, n=69)There was a significantly lower temperature under perforated boots compared to open-fronted tendon boots (p<0.001) and compared to traditional boots (p<0.001)."
*All Majyk Equipe boots including our open front tendon boots have a perforated liner and are fully ventilated. The results shown here are for another brand's regular open front tendon boots without perforated liners.
