I have a horse with this issue and have found the only thing that works for him is to have 2 pairs of the Pikosofts and clean/alternate them religiously. Not a cheap option but my horse has expensive taste!

Acavallo have a gel bellboot that fits tight to the hoof and does not move.

These are interesting.
I can definitely see the appeal for tossing them on for an hour when you ride, but for full time wear I’d be worried about breathability. They look a bit like the perfect incubator for various flavors of “skin funk”, especially in mud season!

I had those. They didn’t work. IIRC they stretched and then maybe rode up and/or turned.
Those ^^ are not designed for turnout either.
Tried this ?

Interesting. No, I’ve always thought of compression human socks, but figured they would be too wide and fall down. I wonder if this would be too wide or if its adjustable due to stretchiness.
It comes in different sizes;
Having used this to cover some road rash bandages on myself, this would not offer really any protection for a horse or keep a shoe on. It is literally gauze mesh.
It is a mesh that could be worn under a bellboot to avoid rubbing

I would try alternating between fleece and non-fleece. It seems like extra work but it should pay off. If you are out there riding a few times a week, just swap out after a ride.
These are expensive but worth it IMO - I have worn mine into the dirt and then some, they’re perfect for sensitive horses and lightweight material that dries fast:

Or, make it worse.
Ever the optimist
It doesn’t really cover the skin enough to provide protection. It is meant to hold other bandages on in places that are difficult to wrap or tape. Worked well to help keep another bandage on my elbow, for example. But it was the other bandage that protected my wound, not the mesh.

I’m an engineer, my cup is neither half full nor half empty, it’s twice the size it needs to be.
