Re: Boots for best traction in winter conditions
I have used the studs from easycare in a few of their boots which works very well for traction during turnout. Also need fo purchase the tool to attach to a drill to get them on the boots.

Re: Boots for best traction in winter conditions
Equine Fusion sells closed boots with aggressive tread patterns (the all terrain sole) and a stud kit you can add on for even better traction on ice or in mud. I remember seeing a promo video showing

Re: Boots for best traction in winter conditions
Hi Heidi,
It really depends on the kind of ice you have. If you have sticky ice (I know that sounds dumb but I canât figure a different word) then some of the agressive type tred patterns work.
