KM Elite Air Shock Fetlock Boots for Horses
Description
KM Elite Air Shock Fetlock Boots
The KM Elite Air Shock Fetlock Boots are lightweight, FEI approved fetlock boots that protect the fetlock joint from knocks, strikes and abrasions during jumping, schooling and competition. They suit riders who want vented, easy-care protection for everyday work at home and in the ring, and are sold as a pair.
Air-shock technology absorbs impact at the fetlock, while a TPU shell and perforated elastic outer keep the boots strong yet flexible. Best for showjumping and fast flatwork where a slim, breathable hind boot is needed.
Key Features
- Air shock technology – controlled air absorption cushions impacts at the fetlock, helping protect the joint during fast manoeuvres and rugged riding.
- TPU shell – durable plastic shell paired with a soft, perforated elastic outer layer for flexibility and reduced rubbing.
- Vented, lined inner – the inner shell is lined for comfort and perforated with air vents to maximise leg breathability on long sessions.
- Secure Velcro fastening – strong, adjustable closure that stays in place through demanding routines.
- Lightweight and aerodynamic – built for maximum flexibility and durability through frequent jumping and daily wear.
- FEI approved – competition-ready protection at an attainable price point.
- Easy care – machine wash at 30°C and air dry; not suitable for tumble drying.

How to Use
- Check the legs are clean and dry, and brush off any mud or grit before fitting.
- Position the boot so the shell covers the inside of the fetlock joint, sitting level on both hind legs.
- Fasten the Velcro straps firmly but not tightly – you should be able to slide a finger between the boot and the leg.
- Walk the horse forward a few strides and re-check the position before starting work.
- Remove the boots after work, allow the legs to cool, and let the boots air before storing.
- Machine wash at 30°C when soiled, air dry fully, and inspect the shell and fastenings for wear.

FAQ
Are KM Elite Air Shock Fetlock Boots FEI approved?
Yes. These boots are FEI approved, so they meet competition standards where approved fetlock boots are required. Always check the current rules of your discipline and affiliated body before competing.
What size fetlock boots do I need?
Measure the circumference of the fetlock joint and compare it with the size chart rather than guessing from your horse's height. Sizing is the most common reason fetlock boots are returned, so it is worth measuring both hind legs, particularly for cobs and heavier types.
How should fetlock boots fit?
They should sit snugly around the fetlock joint with the shell covering the inside of the joint, close enough not to slip yet loose enough to slide one finger between the boot and the leg.
Can these boots be washed?
Yes. Machine wash at 30°C and air dry. They are not suitable for tumble drying, and they should be fully dry before the next use.
What are these boots best for?
They are best suited to showjumping, gridwork and fast flatwork, where the hind fetlocks need impact protection without the bulk and heat of a larger boot.
Do they fit ponies as well as horses?
Provided the correct size is selected from the size chart, they can be used on ponies, cobs, horses and warmbloods. Check the fetlock measurement first, as pony and full sizes differ noticeably.
