Hoof Boot Retailers
Purchasing Ponyplay Tack: Hoof Boots
Written by cPony on
Last updated on
Hoof boots are one of the most popular pieces of equipment in ponyplay. Below are all the retailers of hoof boots for ponyplay I currently know of as of the date of this writing. I'm ecstatic to witness the proliferation of kink and ponyplay crafters and makers these last few years, but the continued expansion of artisans means it is challenging for me to consistently keep an up to date list of craftspeople. So, if you know of a retailer or maker that I miseed, please let me know because I would be happy to add them!
The links will take you directly to the retailer's hoof boot page, or section of the page, whenever possible, but some shops and artisans don't have a dedicated page for hoofboots (or they do not keep them in stock), in which case, I try to indicate as such in the description and link to the most relevant page or their contact form (some craftspeople and makers do mostly or solely custom work, especially for a relatively niche item like hoofboots). I've also tried to put a price1 or price range when and where possible.
Fury Fantasy - €4200 EUR (~$4800 USD as of April 12th 2025): Realistic looking hoof boots made with great care by a skilled ccraftsman. Fury Fantasy prefers to utilize organic material for construction of their items (e.g. leather and wood instead of PVC and resign or metal), which gives the boots a "warmer" feel in my opinion. Fury Fantasy is based in Germany, about a four hour drive from Berline, and has been around for over 20 years. One of the very first ponyplay tack stores to have a online presence, and, arguably producing the most realistic gear for the human pony, Fury Fantasy is not just the OG of pony play gear, but the gold standard against which others are measured.
I had the pleasure of visiting his workshop (which was only a few years old at the time and much larger and better equipped than his previous one), which also included a visual history of his work and deceivingly quant storefront window, which belied the immense talent, tools, and space that lay behind it. When I visited on a rainy day around 10 years ago, he was in the process of redesigning his hoofboot offering.
What I witnessed cemented my previously held notion that Fury Fantasy was about the best a human pony could hope for in an artisan who designs and forges into existence the gear many human ponies lust after. I cannot overstate his committment to truly mastering all the skills required (cordwainer, master carpenter, and costume designer) to translate the vision in his head into the wearable work of art that are his hoofboots.
His passion for pony play, zeal for creation, and incredible attention to detail shine through in all his pieces, but getting to witness him hone to perfection his next generation of hoofboots (current hoof boots now being sold), drove my respect for him to a new level. Yes, his boots are pricey (full disclosure: I do not own a pair but have had the opportunity to wear them on multiple occasions), but in this case, you most definitely get what you pay for: they are masterpieces. Fury Fantasy also sells cool hoof gloves as well (€989.00 EUR for the hoof gloves).
Water Hole Leather - Unknown USD: Link goes to a page in his gallery showcasing some of the ponyplay gear he makes. While Buck has restarted his leatherworking business and makes both general BDSM and pony play specific gear, I am not sure if he still makes hoofboots. After perusing his product gallery and price list, I can't find any hoof boots. However, I know he does a lot of custom work and is definitely still active. If you are interested in hoofboots from him, I would highly suggest reaching out to him and asking about them. For reference, you can use the Internet Archive to see the prior styling of his hoof boots.
He no longer has a webstore and traditional ecommerce site with shopping cart, rather he does all business via custom work and email, so please do send him an email if you're interested (he lists his email and has a link to it on the aforelinked page - I don't include a direct link to his email address here simply because I don't want him to get spammed by bots). As an aside, Buck does great work, and I have personal experience with his products (I purchased a bridle, hand hooves, and hoof boots from him over 20 years ago and all have aged well and remain fully functional to this day.
Porthos Stable - €2750 EUR: A 30 minute drive from downtown Prague in the Czech Republic, Porthos Stable brings quality offerings to the ponyplay community. Their hoofboots are no exception to the wonderful leatherwork they are becoming renowned for in the past several years. Inspired and taught by the artistan behind Fury Fantasy, the hoofboots from Porthos Stable are unlikely to disaapoint. In addition to the aesthetic value of the well-formed, realistic hoof, the boot is functional and surprisngly comfortable (especially in comparison with some of the more extreme offerings out there). The former is always welcome to those of us who are working ponies (or at least ponies that perform work - or simply perform) and require functional footwear; the latter's value depends on how difficult us working ponies (or, more often, our trainers and handler) like our work to be ;). Regradless, Porthos Stable's hoofboots are an excellent choice so long as your budget permits.
Horse King - $1750 - $2500 USD: Eric of Horseking Design, a United States based retailer, makes excellent looking (and feeling) heel-less hoof boots. He has expanded his offerings significantly since I first made this list, and I'm incrredibly happy to see such a talented artisan as Eric succeed so spectacularly while driving innovation in the ponyplay community! I'm truly joyous to see the number of hoofboot options expand through Horseking and hope his amazing work continues to grow the human pony herd!
But on to his beautiful hoofboots: the hooves of Horseking hoof boots are made from a hard resin while the leather upppers of the boot are from Punitive Shoes. The lather uppers are available in muktiple colors (e.g. black, white, and red) and in multiple lengths (e.g. ankle length, mid-calf length, and calf length). The hoof portion is available in an expanded array of colors and finishes: smooth, glossy black, a more matte black, reflective metallic chrome, reflective blue chrome, and more.
In addition, Horseking's hoof boots can come with either rubber or steel horseshoes in place, depending on the terrain your pony is most likely to be traversing. Another option is to have not horseshoe at all in place, that is bare. This may be appropriate if, for example, your pony does not like to be shod or is afraid of the farrier (if the latter, then PonyRoper, my trainer, could offer some tips since he is well versed in bratty ponies, such as, I'm sad to say it but myself, and has a few tricks up his sleeve to make a ponyboy remain still for the farrier and get him shod. As a hint, one of his favorite tricks to get my obediance is less effective on ponygirls).
Horseking also makes and sells hooves for even-toed ungulates for those us who engage in Artiodactyl (or mythical creature) role play in addition to (or perhaps even instead of) pony play. For example, I have occasionally been transformed into a pig when my trainer felt it necessary to add in some more humiliation, or simply because he enjoyed doing it to me, but I digress.
Suffice it to say that Horseking's boots are amazing pieces of gear that look great and are quite comfortable (full disclosure: I do not own a pair of Horseking boots, but I have worn them on numerous occasions, so I feel comfortable in discussing the comfirt and fit of the boots as well as the aesthetics). Final note: it appears that Horseking is currently closed to new orders/commissions. Further, while I did link to Horseking's Etsy shop at the begining, it appears Eric is transitioning away from Etsy (given Etsy's recent change in policy regarding adult items, I would completely understand if the platform was ditched entirely), possibly to their own website or possibly a different sales platform. In the interim, I suggest you contact him directly either via twitter or through joining their Telegram group to keep abreast of when commissions reopen or to inquire about an order or pricing. Once the transission away from Etsy is permanent, I will change the first kink accordingly.
Punitive Shoes - €269.00 EUR: Their hoof boots are nearly ballet boots (which I personally like) and the quality is high. Price is for the knee high version of the hoof boot though the prices are similar for all their styles (from €239 for the ankle boot up to €319 for the thigh version). Note: they have switched to a handmade horseshoe in place of an actual horse iron due to shipping costs. This change is not reflected in their product photos, so the horse shoe you will receive may be different than what is pictured. If you want a genuine horseshoe, you can replace the new machined aluminum shoe with a genuine horsehose (they are attached with screws). I believe the horseshoe size is 6X0 (i.e. 000000 size)
Chaos Costumes - $160 - $190 USD: Hooves, horns, and more! Beautifully crafted heelless hoof boots in various styles and colors for the ungulate in all of us. Several options of hoof boots are often available in stock, but if there is a style or color you would like that is not currently available, I would suggest you reach out to the proprietor of Chaos Costumes to see if the possibility exists of a custom pair. The store is most defnitely worth a look: wearable art for very reasonable prices.
Creature Cosplay - $155 - $175 USD: Heelless hooves (cloven and not) with uppers from a basic ankle shoe all the way to knee high boots. In addition, like the shop's name implies, they sell spandex bodysuits with various animals' coat patterns printed on them, such as cow print leggings. The hoof boots are constructed with a combination of resin, faux suede, velcro, thermoplastic, and plastic. The craftsmanship is amazing, and the price point is quite reasonable.
Fhanchu Trends Ali Express Store - $70.11 CAD: Lockable hoof boots with black uppers that are a bit taller than ankle height with what appears to be a resign or wooden hoof and no heel. The hoof portion is available in "gold" (appears to be closer to an amber or wooden color) and "silver". I'm not sure of the quality of these boots, and given the price, I would not expect too much, but if you have $100 to spare and are feeling adventurous, they mighht be worth grabbing to test (though do be especially careful in case the whole thing falls apart when any weight is applied). If I ever purchase. a pair, I will be sure to post a comprehensive review. Similarly, if you have these boots and/or have worn them, please contact me and let me know your experience.
Birch Place Shop - $193.59 - $310.63 USD Available in black, red, white, or pink leather, these pony boots are also made in an ankle high hoof shoe style (base price of ~$200) with 2 buckles, a 3 buckle knee high boot, and an over-the-knee, thigh high 4 buckle boot (base price of ~310) complete with four lockable straps to keep them in place. The heel-less platform design is constructed of hard foam and capped off with a steel horseshoe. Frankly, these are some hot looking boots at a very competitive price point! They also sell a PVC thigh high hoof boot for £161.83, which is likewise equipped with a steel horseshoe and is available in an even wider selection fo colors (though the PVC version only features one lockable strap at the top of the boot).
Oonacat - $900 - $1300 USD: Their beautiful heelless hoofboots are sometimes available in their Etsy store, but as far as I can tell, they are primarily available via custom order. If you're interested in Oonacat's style of hoofboots, I would suggest you contact them (via their Deviant Art, Etsy, or Facebook) and inquire about their availability as a custom prpoduct. Historically, the made two lines of hoof boots: the Epic Hoof Line and the Awesome Hoof Line. In addition to hoof boots, Oonacat continues to sell beautiful masks and tails.
Magpie Bones -$350 - $900 USD: Amazing artistry in designing their hoofboots, which are available in a variety of hoof styles and upper styles. Unfortunately, the latest references to their hoofboots is circa 2012, or arout 12 - 13 years ago. That does not mean they don't still make them, or take custom orders for them, but it would definitely make sense to contact them (Bluesky, Fur Affinity, Deviant Art, Twitter, ) and inquire about whether or not they are currently taking custom orders and, just as importantly, if they are still making these of similar (making pony hoof boots can be rather arduous).
EpicWorx - $140 USD: 3D printed hooves with no heel and leggings/socks for uppers makes this hoof boot inexpensive, but likely not durable.
Smitizen -They have silicone hoof legs for sale. However, the hooves are cloven, so you will need to email them and request a custom order to make sure they can accomodate you and make a more accurate horse hoof shape.
Pleaser's Craze 2023 - $103.95 USD: A heelless boot that resembles an ungulate hoof morphologically. This is a reasonable option that can also be decorasted a little to match your pony's tack. In addition, a horsehsoe can also be added toe aesthetic reasons if you like, but I have not tried that with these particular boots, so you need to be especially careful (both not to damage the boot structurally and so as not to further impair your pony's ability to balance) if you decide to go this route.
Historical Retailers of Hoofboots
Below is a list of artisans and retailers that have sold pony play hoofboots in the past but no longer do. This could be for a variety of reasons but the most common is that the business or crafter has gone out of business (i.e. no longer has any e-commerce presence, nor can I locate any physical location for the shop). I have recently decided to include this section, with links going to a snapshop of the page when it was live via the Internet Archive, for historical reasons so that ponies and handler can see what used to be out there and possibly give them inspiration for future projects..Leder Gummi Studio - €799.95 EUR: While Leder Gummi Studio (LDS) is still producing and selling amazing pony play gear as Fetish Moments by LDS, however, one of the few items they have discontinued is their hoofboot. Their boots resembled the old pony boots of Marquis with the shiny metal accents on the hoof portion (photo of their hoofboot courtesy of the Internet Archive).
The metallic accents and finish of the boots made them a lovely option to pair with their metallic bridle (or their spiked, trainer-style bridle, giving your pony a unqiue look that's sure to turn heads. I am sad to see their hoofboots go and sincerely wished I had snagged a pair a few years back before they were discontinued. As a consolation, I secretly hold a fragile fragment of hope that one day, their beautiful hoof boots will return.
S-Art - €799.00 EUR: Made from leatherette, these boots area reasonably priced and look pretty comfortable (though I do not own a pair and thus cannot say for sure). They have a definite hoof shaped bottom, but it is unclear if they are shod or not (one product photo shows the outline of a horse shoe whereas the second product photo does not). Sadly, these boots are no longer being sold as S-Art appears to be undergoing a restructuring currently.
Lederstern - €720 EUR: His pony boots look pretty cool, and you can get them in black leather, brown leather or detachable faux fur. They also come with a horseshoe. The look of his boots is closer to the Reactor/Kayser look, where the foot actually goes down into the hoof instead of resting on top of it like a platform (though this may make it slighter more difficult to walk in).
Turnips And Pixies - $395 CAD: A cool pair of hoof boots with a realistic looking hoof portion for a decent price.
Fabulously Fetish - I was troubled to find out about a fellow pony's negative experience ordering hoof boots from Fabulously Fetish: he paid them and nearly 6 months later he said he received nothing. They would not even respond to his emails. Thankfully, he was able to to get his money back thanks to Paypal.
However, I was disappointed to find out that he was not the only one whohad such an experience when ordering from them (a couple other accounts of orders not being fulfilled here and here). After hearing from this pony and reading all theaccounts and complaints, I have removed the link to Fabulously Fetish and am recommending that ponies steer clear of this shop (but, of course, you are free to take the risk and purchase from them, just so long as you have all the information going in).
Also note that it appears they removed/deactivated their Facebook page as complaints built up (several weeks after some of the first orders that went unfulfilled were placed and people started to become suspicious), which documented the negative experience of customers. However, despite desctivating their Facebook page, they were still accepting orders for boots on their website. I'm not sure if anything has changed, but I would advise caution if placing an order.
I have included the Intenret Archive link to their shop and boots, so you can have historical context for the shop and hoofboot. The owner of Fabulously Fetish, Cos K, started The Custom Boot & Shoe Co. in 2018 (technically, I believe Fabulously Fetish is still "open") and does list for sale the Epona hoof boot (identical to the mode sold by Fabulously Fetish).
Sweetcheeks Toys (formerly Wyvern Creations) - Ponysweetcheeks makes realistic looking hoof boots to order. While they are setting up their web store, you can visit their Fetlife profile (you will need to login) where you can see photos of the boots they make. If you like what you see, you can contact them to initiate an order.
Kaysers Novelty - The designers and makers of the Kayser (later Reactor Rubberwear) hoof boots. The price ranged from around only $300 USD at the low point to around $1000 USD at the higher end. The price fluctuation was partially an effect of exchange rates between AUD (in which the boots were priced) and USD (in which I paid) and partially dur them raisning or lowering their prices as they had more or less demand.
Hot to Trot Costumes - $399 USD: Realistic heelless hoof boots with easy zipper entry (the zipper is hidden to maintain the aesthetic appeal). The fur colors are fully customizable and the boots are made to order. The boots are shod with a genuine horseshoe. Orders appear to custom, so contact them for details.
Do you know of a hoof boot maker/retailer not listed here? Let me know, and I'll be happy to add them.
