EquiFit Inc. Launches New Hind Ankle Boots To Meet Customers Demand


EquiFit, Inc. recently debuted its T5 and T6 model additions to the T-BootTM Series, a full line of open front and hind ankle boots. These new boots are lined with T-FoamTM (memory foam), which allows for a custom, contoured fit, greater stability and maximum support. T-Foam absorbs up to 90% of shock and vibration under impact and minimizes the amount of dirt and debris that often gets under the boot.

A research and development team of orthopedic practitioners, materials specialists and professional equestrians developed the new T-5 and T-6 models. Combining genuine craftsmanship with modern design and applying technologically advanced materials, EquiFit Inc. is the sole producer of a full line of competition and exercise boots using T-Foam.
