Hoofstar hoof shoes- The Swift PRO distinguishes itself
The Hoofstar Swift PRO is the second generation of hoof shoes developed by Hoofstar. During the intensive revision of the hoof shoe, we have incorporated the feedback of our customers and tested the hoof shoe intensively together with professional endurance riders. The sole of the Swift PRO has been completely redesigned - a thicker and deeper profile provides more grip and greater abrasion resistance. The gaiter is more supple and made of slightly thinner material, so it can fit the hoof more easily. The locks are finer and easier to adjust thanks to the innovative perforation and smaller head rivets, guaranteeing better handling. Even people with less strength in their hands can now close the shoe without any problems, even in winter temperatures. In addition, the PRO hoof shoe can be disassembled into all components and individual components can be replaced more easily if they become too worn.

Sustainable and durable hoof shoes
Sustainability has been particularly important at Hoofstar since its inception. Since the hoof shoe is made of plastic, the focus was on two key points: "How sustainable can plastic be?" and "How do you increase the quality to maximise the use cycle?" After several stages of development, we realised that a 60 : 40 mix ratio of recycled to virgin plastic offered the highest material quality to avoid breakage or defects in the use of the plastic. The flexibility of the material in combination with the technical realisation of the hoof shoe brings a high wearing comfort with a very good fit as well as high cross-country mobility. This leaves only one factor influencing the use cycle: the frequency of wearing the hoof shoe.
"Since the first developments of HOOFSTAR hoof shoes we have had only one focus, maximum quality for horse and owner. Profit was far behind all the horse lives we were able to save and the satisfaction of our customers. When we launched the Rally as a reusable adhesive shoe, we were ridiculed because our customers would now miss at least one adhesive cycle. But for us, the only thing that mattered was that we would save half the plastic in production and thus do something good for the environment." Vladimir Joffe
Why are hoof shoes important?
There are various reasons why horse owners should use hoof shoes for their horses. Firstly, hoof shoes are a great way to protect the horse's hooves from wear and feel. When horses are worked on hard, uneven surfaces such as gravel, asphalt running or live in active stables, their hooves will usually wear down and become damaged more quickly. Hoof shoes provide a protective layer that can help keep the horse's hooves healthy and strong. In addition, hoof shoes can also help to improve the horse's performance. By providing extra comfort and protection, hoof shoes can help the horse run and work better. This can be especially important for horses that compete or participate in other sporting activities where speed and performance are critical.
