Description

These high-quality nylon inserts are specifically designed to fit into the 3D Half Mesh Pads, providing excellent support and stability to the hoof. The flat elevation inserts, featuring half mesh, are designed to add support and spread load through the heel area of the hoof. The different degree elevation inserts, also with half mesh, are designed to align the Hoof Pastern Angle (HPA) and distribute the load forces throughout the heel area of the hoof.

Available in Black and Red. Select your size, degree, and color above.

How to Use
  1. Choose the insert size that matches your pad. Insert and pad sizes correspond directly.
  2. Press the insert into the pad's channel until it sits flush. No adhesive is needed; it locks in place mechanically.
  3. If using dental impression material, apply it before fitting so the mesh retains it across the sole.
  4. To change degree or replace the insert, lever it out at the next trim and snap in a fresh one. Inserts are designed to be swapped between trim cycles.
