TREKKING Jogging Shoe – for trail and casual riding
Like all of the Equine Fusion boots, the Trekking Jogging Shoes feature the most comfortable sole on the market – the proven all terrain rubber sole – which not only provides outstanding cushioning and protection, but also promotes hoof health through natural stimulation. In testing, this sole has been proven to absorb 43% more shock when compared to a metal shoe and 26-30% compared to plastic-soled hoof boots. They beat the competition hands down!!
The Equine Fusion Trekking Jogging Shoes feature a new upper material called SuperFabric® which is both breathable and quick drying. It is also abrasion and slash-resistant. They are easy to open and put on and have a two-band locking mechanism. They have the proven unique, all-terrain rubber sole which provides extra cushioning for the hoof and makes them more wear-resistant.
The toe has a large built-in break over, and the tread pattern ensures good grip on all surfaces.

The Trekking Jogging Shoes are made of a SuperFabric® upper, which provides a sleek fit with abrasion and slash-resistance properties, yet still allows the joints and hoof to function without hindrance. Like all the Jogging Shoes, they have an ergonomically designed upper which makes them the most comfortable, as well as the best fitting boots in their class. The intuitive locking mechanism makes them very easy and quick to put on and take off. They come in black and are sold in singles.
The centre of the sole has increased flexibility to provide maximum frog pressure and improve balance and break over, and also give natural stimulation to the hoof. They are designed to provide a good grip on most surfaces whilst still allowing the sliding phase of the hoof on tarmac/asphalt. For extra grip in off-road conditions, you can add studs. Read about the huge benefits of the rubber sole here.
The Trekking shoes have an open design at the front for more breathability and drainage. Additional drainage holes can also be added to the sole at the pre-marked spots on either side of each boot. The SuperFabric® upper is very quick drying too, so these boots do not get heavy when wet.
The boots also have reflective piping to ensure high-visibility in low light conditions.
The Trekking Jogging Shoes come in sizes 7-16 as well as Slim options for each size, making them suitable for minis/small ponies right up to small drafts.
The ergonomically designed upper gives a much closer fit around the pastern. This has multiple benefits to the horse including increased comfort, more staying power and less interference to the joints. Each boot has a foam-lined, neoprene covered collar which prevents rubbing at the back of the boot.
The upper on the Trekking shoe is the shortest in height of all the Jogging Shoe models, so they do fit a little smaller than the Actives and All Terrain Ultras. The combination of the shorter SuperFabric® upper and open design make them the lightest of all the models.

The following information will help you measure your horse's hooves in order to select the correct size boot.
Measure the length of the hoof from the toe to the widest part of the frog. This universal measurement works for healthy, underrun and low heels.
Measure the width of the hoof at the widest point, making sure the ruler is parallel to the heels.
Repeat for each hoof that you want boots for as measurements often vary between hooves.
Taking measurements both before and after a trim is ideal. Alternatively, take them straight after a trim and then add 1/8" (4mm) for growth.
If the length is longer than the width first use the length measurement to select the corresponding size, then use the width measurement to decide if you need the regular or slim.
If the hoof is wider than it is long, then you will need to choose the size that corresponds to the width. For example, a hoof that is 12cm long and 12.5cm wide would need the size 13 boot.
Please contact us if you need help with the measurements.
To double-check your measurements you are welcome to send us a photo of each hoof with a measuring tape or ruler in place as shown in the photos below. Be sure to include the whole of the (clean) hoof in the shot and have the camera parallel to the hoof. Photos of the hoof on the ground taken from the front and side are very helpful too.
Can I use the Trekking for endurance, jumping, dressage or driving?
Yes, this model is suitable for all disciplines.
What is the expected lifespan of the Equine Fusions?
This depends on the horse, terrain, use and mileage. Some horses are very heavy on boots which can mean more frequent replacements, however the Equine Fusions are a very high quality, well made boot with a durable rubber sole, which makes them last very well. When used as a turnout boot, the lifespan is generally between 6 months to 2 years with 1 year being the average. When used for riding/driving they generally last 1-2 years, although some customers get up to 7 years out of them!
Are the Trekking boots left or right specific?
No, they can be used on either side.
Do I need to gradually break my horse into the Equine Fusions?
Unlike many other brands of boots, the Equine Fusions generally do not require a break in period. However, we always recommend a few short sessions to ensure the boots fit correctly before undertaking more extensive wear.
Can I turn my horse out wearing the Trekking boots?
The All Terrain Ultras make a better turnout boot as they are breathable, soft and secure for turnout use. Thousands of customers use this model for their laminitic and navicular horses as the rubber soles make this brand the only boot on the market that actively helps promote healing.
Do I need boots on all four feet?
That is really personal preference. It depends on distance covered and type of terrain. Many owners just use them on the fronts but some horses prefer to be booted on the hinds too.
Do I require the same size Jogging Shoes on the front and rears?
Not necessarily. Always take hoof measurements of each hoof separately. Correct size selection and proper fitting are very important to ensure maximum boot performance. Many horses have smaller hind feet.
Where can I ride with the Trekking boots?
The closure system keeps these boots secure even in the toughest of trail conditions including water crossings and deep mud so you can ride anywhere, on any terrain, at any speed, with 100% hoof protection. However, the openings on the front can collect debris so they are generally more suited to groomed trails.
Are the Trekking boots comfortable for my horse?
The Equine Fusions are the most comfortable boot on the market as they feature a unique rubber sole. This is a big advantage over all other plastic-soled boots as it allows the sole of the boot to flex with both the ground and the hoof providing protection and stimulation, without the need for pads. The uppers are also very soft and ergonomically designed which prevents rubs.
Can I use the Trekking boot over metal shoes?
We do not recommend using the Trekking boot over shoes. The Actives can be used if necessary, but it does void the warranty as metal shoes can cause damage to boots.
Can the Trekking boots get waterlogged?
No, you can add drainage holes at the sides of the sole of the boot to prevent this.
Do the Trekking boots offer good traction?
Yes, they offer superb traction on all surfaces including aggressive mountain terrain, creek beds, asphalt and loose gravel, and studs can be added for increased traction on ice or slick grass/mud.
How easy are the Trekking boots to put on?
They are very easy to put on.
Are the Trekking boots comfortable for my horse?
Yes, provided the boots fit properly. All materials are flexible and soft against the pastern and the sole also flexes and absorbs shock with each step.
Are the Trekking boots good for snow and ice?
Yes. Unlike plastic-soled boots, the rubber sole does not get hard in the cold weather so it provides excellent traction in snow. Studs are also available for sheet ice conditions.
Will sand and gravel get into the boot?
Sometimes a small amount of sand can get in, but generally not enough to cause harm.
