Boa Hoof Boots - now taken

[Sam C]

I have two pairs of Boa Boots, one pair size 1 and the others size 3. Both well used but only for turnout so not a huge amount of wear to the tread, still perfectly usable. The reason I can't ask any money for them is that I painted patterns on them with sparkly nail polish! I've tried getting the stuff off but it won't budge, although the boots are now spotlessly clean.

If anyone's interested, the size 1's are purple and the 3's are pink, as you can see:




Both pairs now spoken for, and both with a donation towards the IH Charity Appeal which is a lovely bonus so thankyou. ;D

Well I'm not laughing Sam, I would gladly have the size 1 but sadly they're too big for Maisy... off to double check just in case!

Mta... Boo hoo they're too big I don't think even the 00 would fit she's a mini shetland.

Oh poo I just bought a brand new pair of size 3!
I wouldn't have minded colourful pair!

Tiny feet are a nightmare aren't they! I managed to get size 00's to fit my shetland with thick socks and pads, but he was 10hh with big (deformed) feet. Have you ever looked at the Sabre Sneakers? I ordered a pair from the US and they are absolutely brilliant, just too small for mine. On paper they should've just about been ok, but they seem to come up small, and even with the right size are apparently difficult to get on until they stretch. They do very tiny sizes! I got mine from here: www.minitack.com/sabre.htm

Thanks for that link Sam I'll have a look. Boots aren't vital for Maisy but we could go for longer walks with them and not have to worry at all where we go.

Here's some pics of mine to give you a better idea, I sold them on ebay to someone with a mini! The sole is very smooth but like a rubbery leather sort of material, and actually quite grippy aside from on wet grass. Other people have reinforced it with duct tape, or given it a bit more traction by cutting their own tread. They are really nicely padded inside too. I paid £38 for shipping and customs charges so not cheap unfortunately, although alltogether it wasn't any more than a new pair of Boa's.
