FLEX-STEP Horseshoes are the original rubber horseshoe (Made in the USA). For over thirty years, FLEX-STEP has been helping farriers and owners reduce shock, reduce lameness, and improve performance of all types of horses around the world. Unlike steel horseshoes, our patented composite design and shoe patterns have been proven to minimize concussion, prevent severe cuts and bruises upon interference, reduce fatigue, allow natural flexing , and provide adequate protection of the horse's foot. Our product is the result of many years of experimentation by several experienced horsemen working in conjunction with a group of chemists, and a urethane composite manufacturer. FLEX-STEP horseshoes are proven to overcome most of the problems experienced with conventional horseshoes. Read our story, and we believe that you will agree that FLEX-STEP horseshoes can help your horse.
