LeMieux ProShell Rubber Overreach Bell Boots for Horses

Description

LeMieux ProShell Overreach Boots in Brief

These LeMieux boots are everyday overreach boots for field and exercise use. A tough outer shell faces the strike from the hind hoof, while a soft neoprene lining and collar sit against the leg. They are sold in pairs and come in colors meant to match other LeMieux gear.

Sizing Note

LeMieux says these boots come up large, mainly in height, and recommends going down one size from what you would normally choose. That is worth reading before you order, because a boot that is too tall can trail on the ground and get stepped on.

Who Should Consider Them

They suit owners who want one pair for both turnout and schooling, and riders who like coordinated colors across their tack. If your horse has very sensitive skin or needs a specialist boot after an injury, ask your farrier or trainer which style works best.

Washing and Care

Close every hook-and-loop strap and clip before washing so nothing snags. Put the boots in a wash bag, use a low temperature with normal detergent, and let them air dry away from heaters and other heat sources. Rinse off mud after each use so grit does not rub the pastern, and check the neoprene edge for wear now and then.

Can I use them on all four feet?

Yes. The maker says they fit both front and hind hooves.

Do they run true to size?

No. The listing advises sizing down one from your usual choice, mostly because of the extra height.
