Hoofstar RUNA Wedges – Inserts for the Glue-On Shoe (1–5°)
The RUNA wedges are inserts for adjusting the angle of the Hoofstar RUNA glue-on shoe. They are sold individually per shoe. This means that, where professionally appropriate, different heights can be used on the left and right. The wedges are available in sizes 10 to 14 and in increments from 1° to 5°. They are compatible exclusively with the RUNA glue-on shoe.
Important information on use
Wedges alter hoof mechanics. Please always determine the diagnosis, the appropriate wedge angle and the duration of use together with a veterinarian and a professional hoof care specialist.
Wedge height depending on RUNA size
The degree value indicates the angle of the wedge. As the RUNA glue-on shoe varies in length depending on the size, the actual wedge height also differs.
The table shows the height of the wedge in millimetres at the heel area.
Example: With RUNA size 14, the 3° wedge is 9.8 mm high at the rear end.
| Size | 1 degree | 2 degrees | 3 degrees | 4 degrees | 5 degrees |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14 | 4.3 | 7 | 9.8 | 12.6 | 15.4 |
| 13 | 4 | 6.7 | 9.2 | 11.8 | 14.4 |
| 12 | 3.9 | 6.3 | 8.7 | 11 | 13.5 |
| 11 | 3.7 | 5.9 | 8.1 | 10.3 | 12.5 |
| 10 | 3.5 | 5.5 | 7.5 | 9.5 | 11.5 |
Use and benefits
In consultation with a veterinarian and a professional hoof care specialist, wedges can help to fine-tune the hoof angle, temporarily relieve the heel area and adjust the breakover point. Possible uses may include temporary corrections of toe or heel position, rehabilitation or fine-tuning the balance of individual hooves.

Hoofstar – Innovation Meets Practice
At Hoofstar, we combine technical development with what horses and people need in everyday life. We are based in North Frisia (Germany) and manufacture the RUNA glue-on horseshoe entirely ourselves: Every component and every production step is carried out locally – exclusively in North Frisia, Germany.
Our goal? To make hoof protection smarter. That is why we work closely with riders, hoof care professionals and veterinarians. Their feedback flows directly into our ongoing development – creating glue-on horseshoes that prove themselves in everyday use.
We rely on high-quality materials, well-thought-out design and streamlined production processes. The result: Durable, horse-friendly glue-on horseshoes that adapt perfectly to the hoof and are easy to use.
