What riders say about bell boots
Riders tell us the bell boots worth buying stay on and don't rub.
LeMieux Rubber Bell Boots w/Fleece
I love these bell boots. They are flexible overall and soft around the ankle. No rubs anywhere. They stay secure while your horse plays but do tend to get little tears in the rubber towards the bottom of the hoof. That does not keep me from buying them over and over again. Love them!
LeMieux Rubber Bell Boots w/Fleece
These rubber bell boots are soft but sturdy. My mare wears them every day in her stall/paddock. She had a habit of springing her front shoes - wearing these bell boots has eliminated that issue. They wash up beautifully. I recommend this product.
These are the only bell boots I will uses. The stay on great and I leave them on 24/7 to keep my horses from stepping on the heel of their shoes and pulling them off.
We use these bell boots a lot in my barn. They aren't fancy but they fit well, don't rub, and are fairly priced.
The Bell Boot Edit
Why a good pair of bell boots earns its place in the barn
Bell boots are a small purchase that gets used every day, from turnout to the trailer. These sections cover staying power, materials, closures and fit.
Two straps, one fit
Bell boots that stay on in turnout and at the barn
The bell boots that stay on are the ones built to hold their seat, and the Equinavia Double Lock Fleece Top Rubber Bell Boots are a clear example. They are 100% rubber with heavy-duty double lock hook-and-loop closures and a soft fleece lining at the top, and Equinavia says the shape is slightly wider at the bottom so they stay put. The plain Double Lock Rubber Bell Boots drop the fleece and keep the two-strap closure. If your horse flips boots up, the Step Guard Rubber Bell Boots use graduated horizontal steps, and the maker says the design also helps with boots flipping up. One reviewer leaves her Horze All Purpose Bell Boots on 24/7 so her horses stop stepping on their shoe heels. Look elsewhere if your horse wants a snug, close-contact fit with no closure at all. Pull-on rubber, covered in the no-turn and pull-on section below, suits that horse better than any strap.

Overreach boots for horses that pull their shoes
Overreach boots for horses that pull their shoes are built around a padded or reinforced heel, and Shires ARMA Neoprene Over Reach Boots are one of the lighter ways to get it. ARMA makes them from sturdy neoprene with a double lock touchtape closure, and its description points to horses that overextend through expressive movement, such as jumping. For more cushion at the pastern, the Shires ARMA Fleece Trim Over Reach Boots add a fleece trim to a rubber boot. Woof Wear goes the hard-shell route: the Kevlar Overreach Boots wrap abrasion-resistant Kevlar over 8mm closed cell neoprene and use a deep cut for extra heel coverage, and the Pro Overreach Boot uses a carbon fiber outer over 7mm neoprene. Riders back up the shoe-saving job. One says her mare had a habit of springing her front shoes, and wearing LeMieux rubber bell boots eliminated that. Look elsewhere if your horse only needs a casual turnout boot, since plain rubber cleans up faster than any shell style.

Rubber, neoprene or fleece-trimmed bell boots compared
Rubber, neoprene and fleece-trimmed bell boots each solve a different problem, and LeMieux makes all three. The LeMieux Rubber Bell Boots w/Fleece use a natural rubber compound with a ribbed shell, a soft fleece collar and a double lock hook-and-loop closure, and LeMieux says they give far less rigid protection than conventional overreach boots. LeMieux Neoprene Over Reach Boots are 100% neoprene with a wide touchtape closure and a low profile that LeMieux calls gentle on skin. Where you want a hard outer, the Proshell Over Reach Boots add a strike-proof shell over a neoprene lining; the maker notes they run large, so check the label against your horse. Rubber hoses clean, neoprene is lighter at the pastern, and fleece pads the spot where boots rub. One rider says her LeMieux fleece rubber boots are soft around the ankle with no rubs anywhere, though the rubber does tear a little near the bottom of the hoof. Look elsewhere if your horse destroys boots, because a ballistic or Kevlar shell outlasts rubber.

Centered, not spinning
No-turn and pull-on bell boots that stay centered
No-turn and pull-on bell boots stay centered because they take the strap out of the equation or add a shape that resists rotation. The Weaver No Turn Bell Boots use an anatomical positioning bulb to help prevent turning, with a 2520D ballistic outer and a neoprene lining. Woof Wear's iVent No Turn Overreach Boots do it with a no-turn nodule that sits between the heel bulbs, a tough TPU shell and a Kevlar strike area. For rubber, Horze Anti Twist Lock-On Bell Boots are described as sturdy boots that won't twist or rotate around the hoof, and the LeMieux Rubber Pull On Over Reach Boots slip over the hoof with no closure at all. Equinavia offers the same idea in Rubber Pull-On Bell Boots. A pull-on gives a close contact fit and has no strap to fail, but it takes some effort to get over the hoof. Look elsewhere if you want quick on and off in the cross ties. A double-closure style such as the Horze Double Closure Ribbed Rubber Bell Boots goes on faster.

Fit check on flat ground
Sizing bell boots to cover the heel and hoof wall
Sizing a bell boot comes down to heel coverage, and the check works the same way across brands. Stand your horse square on flat ground, slip the boot on and look at two points. The rim should leave 1 to 2 fingers of room above the pastern, and the bottom should sit just above the ground at the back of the heels. A boot that is too small rubs and does not cover enough, and one that is too large can be stepped on and pulled off, which is the problem riders buy bell boots to solve. Riders size by shoe size, height or the label on the box, and the answers conflict because sizing differs from maker to maker. Measure across the hoof and read the maker's guidance for the exact style instead of carrying a size over from another brand. Some styles say so directly: LeMieux notes that its Proshell Over Reach Boots run large. Look elsewhere if you are between sizes on a pull-on. A strap gives you room to adjust; a pull-on has none.
Questions riders ask
Bell boots FAQ
What are bell boots for horses?
Bell boots are bell-shaped boots that fit over the hoof and cover the heel bulbs and coronet band. Riders use them in turnout, on the lunge line and when hauling, mostly to keep a hind hoof from catching a front shoe. Browse the shelves above and start with the closure style your horse tolerates best.
What is the difference between bell boots and overreach boots?
Nothing in practice, because the names describe the same boot. Overreach describes a hind hoof striking the back of a front foot, and many makers label their boots that way, including Shires ARMA, LeMieux and Woof Wear. Choose by build and closure rather than by name, and compare the material sections above.
How do I size bell boots?
Measure across the widest part of the hoof and read the maker's guidance for that exact style. A good fit leaves a finger or two between the rim and the pastern, with the bottom just above the ground behind the heels. Too small rubs, too large can be stepped on. Check the fit on flat ground before you turn out.
What are no-turn bell boots?
No-turn bell boots are shaped to stay centered on the pastern. Weaver uses an anatomical positioning bulb, and Woof Wear's iVent No Turn uses a nodule that fits between the heel bulbs. Pull-on rubber styles skip the closure altogether. If your horse spins boots, shop the no-turn shelf above.
