How to heat stretch the Scoot Boot heel straps for a customised fit

[@piperandjack]

Would be nice if they offered a customized boot. Or a service to do this after purchase. You are the experts on your boots!

Can the vertical heel strap be stretched the same way for a horse with a higher heel?

[@EnduranceHorseMT]

That is much more difficult as the vertical strap is thicker - I've only been able to get about 2mm of stretch before worrying about overheating it. What I've done instead is pull the horizontal heel straps up vertically.

Have you tried to heat it up to make the front gap (between the straps) wider?

How hot was the heat gun?

[@ScootBootsdownunder]

This particular one, did not have adjustments. We have also a more resent video, where we show how you can just use hot water, which is a bit easier to control ❤️

[@emmadavey2816]

what temperature is the heat gun set at? I don't want to set it too hot.

Hi Emma, if you are not feeling confident with the heat gun method, we have an easier hack here kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHKbpo2Arsyjl6s using boiling water 😊

Well, I broke my brand new boot. I timed it for a minute, wasn't enough, timed another minute and broke it. Good bye $100. So now I don't know what to do as my horse has huge heel bulbs. Someone has a video of putting it in boiling water. Would that be less risky?

So sorry to hear! Did only one boot snap? We do offer heat stretching as an option when you purchase a pair or single boot from us at scootboots.com/collections/scoot-boots please just pop in your notes when purchasing "Heat Stretch" We would be more than happy to help out 🤗. We have shot another video on how to heat stretch with boiling water 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHKbpo2Arsyjl6s
