ACTIVE Jogging Shoes – for all disciplines
Like all of the Equine Fusion boots, the Active 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.
The Equine Fusion Active Jogging Shoe’s fastening system utilizes durable, wear-resistant velcro that is fully protected by the adjustable wraparound front cover, giving this model a streamline fit, especially on the inner side of the hoof. This system also makes them very easy and quick to put on and take off.
The toe has a large built-in break over, and the tread pattern ensures good grip on all surfaces.
Sold in pairs. (However we can split pairs if you need two different sizes. Contact us to order those.)
$190 (US) / $255 (CAN) per pair

The Active Jogging Shoes are made with a carbon-look upper (faux leather), which provides a sleek fit with superb durability, yet still allows the joints and hoof to function without hindrance. The innovative fastening system features longer wearing velcro covered by a wraparound front cover that has a smart lock for extra security. This makes them very easy and quick to put on and take off. They come in black and are sold in pairs.
The centre of the rubber 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, or on ice, you can add studs. Read about the amazing benefits of the rubber sole here.
All of the Jogging Shoes have an ergonomically designed upper which means they fit closer to the pastern than their competitors. This has multiple benefits to the horse including increased comfort, more staying power and less interference with the joints. Each boot has a foam-lined, neoprene covered collar which prevents rubbing at the back of the boot and reflective piping to ensure high-visibility in low light conditions.
The upper on the Active shoe is shorter in height and a little more upright than the upper on the All Terrain Ultras. The wraparound outer cover provides a streamline contour on the medial (inner) side of the hoof which is particularly beneficial for horses that move close.
The Active Jogging Shoes come in sizes 7-16 with Slim options for each size too, making them suitable for minis/small ponies right up to small drafts.

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 Active 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 Active boots left or right specific?
Yes, they are sold in pairs with a left and a right boot. If your horse has different sized hooves then we can split pairs for you. Contact us for information on how to do that.
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 Actives?
Yes, you can turn your horse out in the Actives although we do recommend the All Terrain Ultras for turnout as they are more breathable, softer and secure for turnout use.
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 Actives?
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.
Are the Actives 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.
Can I use the Actives over metal shoes?
Yes, the Actives can be used over shoes if necessary, but it does void the warranty as metal shoes can cause damage to boots.
Can the Actives get waterlogged?
No, you can add drainage holes at the sides of the sole of the boot to prevent this.
Do the Actives offer good traction?
The Actives offers 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 Actives to put on?
Designed with convenience in mind, the Actives are very easy to put on with little force or hand strength required.
Are the Actives 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 Actives 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.
