Either way, they are a wonderful and useful accessory for your Easyboot Gloves. But if you use them for bling, that’s a great choice too. This is what the power straps were intended to do.

Power straps enabled Brass to keep his boots on all day at the City of Rocks endurance ride. When I began using power straps with the Gloves, the fit improved dramatically. Using the Power Strap is recommended to help stabilize the EasyBoot Glove Hoof Boot that correctly fits the hoof in muddy or varied terrain, steep hills. The hooves on The Big Brass were neglected and misshapen and so he was challenging to fit in any boot. Power straps boost the performance of the boot because a snug fit means a dependable fit.

The power straps tighten up what could be a loose-fitting boots. It adjusts itself to just the right amount of stretch so you don’t have to really do anything other than put the boot on the horse. The power strap holds the “V” in the Gloves together, then when it goes on the hoof, it stretches out slightly and tightens the fit just as elastic would hold your pants up. Besides, they just add color.” People can dress up the basic black boots with pretty power straps, others use different colors of straps to identify their boots, but the power straps really are much more than an ornament or bling. The usual reply is “Oh I don’t want to mess with those. I always suggest using power straps to take up the slack and refine the fit. When I help people fit new Easyboot Gloves on their horse I often get horses that are between sizes.
