Note: Don’t be afraid to do circles with the drill to widen the hole a little more. Drill through each hole again with this larger drill bit. Step 3: When you have all four holes drilled through the bottom of the boot with the 3/16 inch drill bit, switch to the 5/16 inch drill bit. The flat portion of the stud that will be inside the boot needs enough room to lay flush against the bottom of the boot and not rub against the inside of the wall of the boot. Note: Make sure you do not create a hole too close to the outer edge of the boot. Step 2: Begin with your 3/16 inch drill bit, and start drilling through each of your marked locations. Exact placement can vary, though, and comes down to your personal preference. We recommend two in the front near the toe and two at the heel, as shown below. Mark the places on the bottom of the boot where you would like to place your studs.
Step 1: Remove the blue pad inside of the boot. Items needed to install these studs include a pack of Ice Studs, your Easyboot, a hand drill, a 3/16 inch drill bit, a 5/16 inch drill bit, and a pair of pliers or a socket wrench. The following pictures show a size 0 Easyboot Cloud and 1-inch studs. The tread on the bottom of the boot provides extra traction, but it isn’t always enough in icy, frozen conditions. The Easyboot Cloud provides cushion and support with its firm polyurethane base and EVA foam pad. Let’s look at one of our therapy boots to demonstrate how best to apply these studs. For thicker tread patterns (such as those found on the Easyboot Cloud, Easyboot Rx, Easyboot Trail, and Old Mac’s G2) and larger boot sizes, we recommend using the 1 inch studs. For thinner tread patterns (such as those found on the Easyboot Epic, Easyboot Glove, and Easyboot Back Country) and smaller boot sizes, we recommend using the ¾ inch studs.
Ice Studs are available in two different lengths, ¾ inch and 1 inch. Since ice and snow can’t be easily avoided, let’s talk about how best to give your horse protection, comfort, and traction.Įas圜are offers two different styles of studs, Quick Studs (pictured below on the left) and standard Horse Boot Studs, often called Ice Studs (pictured below on the right), that can be added to any of our boots for extra traction. For many of us in the northern hemisphere, winter is here.
