Need extra grip while riding your barefoot horse? Renegade® Viper Hoof Boots have serious tread with proven grip, but if you ride on snow, ice, or damp slippery grass often, you may want extra traction.
Our factory-bonded, carbide-tipped Traction Studs provide unmatched durability and performance. These low-profile, non-removable studs are designed to provide your already effective hoof boot tread with maximum traction... without compromising the longevity of your hoof boots. Our Traction Studs are an add-on custom order and are installed in your hoof boots at manufacture - so please do allow up to 3 extra days for installation and curing.
Designed for all-terrain use, our low-profile traction studs provide your hoof boots with extra grip on ice, snow, wet grass, loose gravel, and slick clay - while remaining durable enough to last the life of the boot, typically 3–4 years.
Renegade® traction studs feature carbide-tipped points, engineered for exceptional hardness - a key advantage for both longevity and superior grip. Hard surfaces like ice, rock, and compacted trails require an even harder material to bite effectively, making carbide the ideal choice. Its extreme durability ensures the studs maintain their sharpness and effectiveness for years, providing reliable traction in the toughest conditions. The traction studs on our hoof boots are best suited for natural surfaces; avoid extended use on pavement.
Our traction studs are securely bonded into the tread using an extremely strong, rigid material, ensuring they remain stable and durable for years. This solid foundation prevents any pressure from transferring through the sole, keeping the hoof comfortable while maximizing stud longevity.
"I love the Traction Studs on my Renegade® Hoof Boots for icy conditions, that's when I feel they are the most useful, when you need extra traction. Because of the traction I do notice my horse traveling more confidently across this type of ground - and I feel so much safer! At this time of year we deal with so much ice as things are starting to melt off. The traction Studs are a game changer for sure." - Bridget.
Traction studs are a permanent, non-removable addition and come in a standard, non-customizable configuration. Due to the nature of this custom installation, they will void exchange and return policies and are not covered under warranty. Please ensure you have the correct size, ideally verified by previous use, and that studs are the right choice for your needs before ordering. Feel free to chat with our team for advice!
