The glue-on shoe for everyone who wants it simple
RUNA is ready to use – no cutting, no welding, no stress. In just 5 minutes the shoe is securely in place on the standing horse. The flexible plastic adapts precisely to the hoof shape – ideal also for horses that can only bear weight for a short time. RUNA makes it easy for you.
Three good reasons for RUNA:
- Ready-to-use shoe without assembly: RUNA comes pre-made – just glue it on and ride off.
- Quick to apply, long-lasting: The glue holds up to 9 weeks – depending on use and ground conditions. The sole is highly wear-resistant.
- Reusable: RUNA can be applied several times, saving you money.
Easy and quick application
RUNA can be effortlessly applied with super glue, without additional tools or complicated preparations – the flaps are fixed within seconds.
Millimetre-precise adjustment
The glue-on shoe can be easily adjusted in width with a screwdriver and thus fits the hoof exactly.
Long-lasting comfort
The flexible plastic adapts perfectly to the hoof and supports the horse’s natural movement.
Sustainable and reusable
RUNA can be removed for hoof care and then reapplied, saving money and resources in the long run.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
and technical details of the Hoofstar adhesive fitting
The RUNA glue-on shoe usually lasts five to seven weeks, depending on how much the horse is used. Factors such as the type of ground the horse walks on and the care of the shoe influence its durability. Even with daily use on different surfaces, however, the shoe remains firmly and securely on the hoof. Regular checks are advisable to ensure that the shoe still fits well. If the shoe should come loose prematurely, individual flaps can be reattached if necessary, since RUNA is reusable.
To make sure the RUNA glue-on shoe fits perfectly, it is important to choose the right size for your horse. The sizes depend on hoof width and maximum hoof length. The size chart helps you make the right choice. The shoe should always fit very snugly and tightly. Always measure freshly trimmed hooves.
RUNA Size Chart:
| Size | Hoof width | Max. hoof length |
| 14 | 13.8 – 14.7 cm | 14.5 cm |
| 13 | 12.7 – 13.9 cm | 14 cm |
| 12 | 11.6 – 12.8 cm | 13 cm |
| 11 | 10.9 – 11.9 cm | 12 cm |
How to measure the hoof correctly?
To determine the right size, you should measure both the width and the length of your horse’s hoof:
Does your horse fall right between two sizes? Then take a closer look at the hoof shape:
- Does the hoof get wider towards the heels (triangular shape)? → Choose the smaller size and set it to maximum width.
- Does the hoof have a more round shape? → Choose the larger size and set it as small as possible.
If you are unsure which size fits best, you can also try RUNA in two sizes and adjust them to find the best fit for your horse.
Conclusion
The choice of the right RUNA size depends on the hoof width and maximum hoof length of your horse. Fine-tuning the adjustment allows you to optimally adapt the glue-on shoe to your horse’s needs – whether for front or hind hooves. If you still have questions, we are happy to provide individual advice!
Yes, the RUNA glue-on shoe can be reused. Carefully remove it from the hoof with a sharp blade and check whether the inner material is still intact and smooth. If it is uneven, it can be smoothed with a wire brush. Then, a new inner pad is applied with a little super glue by pressing each flap firmly for about 10 seconds. After this preparation, the RUNA glue-on shoe is ready for use again.
Yes, RUNA is also suitable for the hind hooves. The individual sizes overlap, so by choosing the smaller size and adjusting it to the maximum width, an optimal fit can be achieved. The glue-on shoe then takes on a slightly triangular shape that perfectly adapts to the anatomy of the hind hooves. This way, RUNA provides secure hold and protection not only for the front hooves but also for the hind hooves.
No, the super glue used for the RUNA glue-on shoe is not harmful to the hoof. The adhesive is made from skin-friendly materials that have been specially developed for use on hooves. It contains no toxic substances and is formulated so that it neither irritates nor damages the hoof or the surrounding skin. In addition, the glue does not penetrate the hoof but adheres only to the surface. This makes it suitable even for sensitive horse hooves.
The RUNA glue-on shoe remains reliable even in wet conditions. The special super glue provides strong adhesion, even when the horse is moving on wet or muddy ground. However, it is important that the hoof is dry and clean before gluing to ensure optimal bonding. Once applied, the shoe is robust enough to withstand adverse weather conditions such as rain or damp ground. Additionally, Widia studs can be used to prevent slipping. Overall, the glue-on shoe behaves similarly to a barefoot horse.
