Vettec Adhere Hoof Adhesive
Vettec Adhere is positioned as the industry-standard two-part adhesive for glue-on tabs and pads, prized for its strong, durable bond and predictable working time. Compared with pre-formed shells like Easyboot Glue-On and full glue-on shoes, Adhere offers a lower-material-cost, flexible solution that pairs particularly well with pad materials such as Vettec Equi-Pak CS for riders wanting a customizable, repairable glue-on setup.

EasyCare Easyboot Glue-On Shells
EasyCare's Glue-On Shells are market-leading for ease of application and consistent fit, offering pre-formed shells that significantly reduce shoeing time and the skill required for a neat bond. While they carry a higher per-unit price than bulk adhesives like Vettec Adhere or Glue-U Shufill, their predictable geometry lowers labor costs and failure rates for owners who prefer a shell-based approach over custom-built glued shoes.
Featherlight shell — barely there
Adaptive fit — hugs the hoof

Review Summary
"EasyCare Easyboot Glue-On Shells are appreciated for providing secure, comfortable glue-on protection and durability, but some buyers report fitment challenges and a need for careful prepping and trimming. They perform well when properly applied but can be bulky for some horses or conditions."
Trail-grip — smiles at mud
Rigid polyurethane shells provide full-coverage protection and support for the hoof.

Glue-U Shufill Adhesive System
Glue-U Shufill is a cost-conscious adhesive and filler system focused on fast cure times and strong adhesion for glue-on tabs and pads, making it attractive for farriers needing quick turnaround. Technically competitive with Vettec Adhere in bond performance, it differentiates itself by combining adhesive and fill solutions in one kit, which can reduce overall job time and materials expense when installing custom glue-on applications versus using pre-formed shells or dedicated pad materials.
Precision fill — plugs voids like magic

Review Summary
"Glue-U Shufill is frequently complimented for being an effective adhesive/filler system that bonds and fills reliably, making glue-on jobs easier, though users mention cost and the need for correct mixing/temperature control. Farriers often recommend it for consistent results."
Quick cure — farrier-friendly
Two-part resin filler for building pad support and filling sole voids before shoeing.

Vettec Equi-Pak CS Soft Pad Material
Vettec Equi-Pak CS is a soft, conforming pad material designed to work seamlessly with adhesive systems and tabs, providing shock absorption and improved hoof support in glue-on pad assemblies. It offers a technical complement to adhesives like Vettec Adhere and Glue-U Shufill, and while adding a modest material cost over bare-glue applications, it can reduce downstream therapeutic expenses by protecting compromised soles and improving comfort relative to unpadded glue-on shells.

Review Summary
"Vettec Equi-Pak CS soft pad material is liked for ease of molding, cushioning, and improving hoof comfort; however, some users note gradual compression or edge wear over extended use and occasional bonding issues if prep is poor. It’s generally recommended for therapeutic padding when applied properly."
