Q: Why are some of your shoes sold in half sizes, and what does that mean?

Our “Half Sizes” are made with a slightly longer heel to provide protection that is so often needed in that area and will to help prevent “run-down heels”. We work with some of the top Farriers in the world, and they asked us to produce the half size.

If you are used to using a size 5, order the 5.5 and the heels will be just slightly longer to help protect that area.

Q: What are the actual dimensions of your shoes?

Our “Shoe Size and Nail Charts” are packed with information and are downloadable in PDF form for easy viewing and printing.

You can access them under “Tools and Accessories” on the home page. Most of our products are listed there in standard and metric sizes. You may also use the links below:

Q: Where can I find your special offers and sale items?

Check out the “Garage Sale” section under “Products” for awesome savings. Sometimes clearance items are up to 80% OFF and only at the website! Check back often for updates on these great deals. If you are on our mailing list we will let you know automatically!

 

Q: I am having problems checking out or placing my order.

In most cases, it is because the billing information entered during checkout does not match the credit card billing address. We will ship to a different address for your convenience, however we verify all credit card orders for your protection. In some rare instances, this process may cause a slight delay in shipping.

 

Q: Where do you ship?

Currently online orders are only shipped to addresses in the Continental U.S. due to the credit card verification process on our site. We have distributors all over the world and will ship anywhere, but overseas orders must be made by calling Thoro’Bred at 1-800-854-6059. You will be contacted for an extra charge on orders shipping to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. If you do not agree to pay the extra shipping charges, we will be happy to refund your order for you.

 

Q: Where can I find the part numbers for your products?

You will only see the part numbers when we send your order confirmation to you by e-mail, as they are mostly used internally by us. We have found over the years that most customers prefer to order by style, size and amount, so the site was made this way to avoid any confusion.

 

Q: I am an Authorized Thoro’Bred Distributor and have a customer that needs an item shipped directly. Can I have the order drop shipped?

Yes, simply enter your customers address into the “ship to” section upon checkout. All drop shipments will be sent UPS Ground unless you leave us instructions to do otherwise. You will be invoiced at your cost plus actual UPS Ground cost after the items have shipped. 

 

Q: There are no dealers in my area. May I become an authorized Thoro’Bred Dealer?

Yes, we may set up an account with you. You must have a store and a resale number to qualify. Please call us here at 1-800-854-6059 for more information and forms for becoming a dealer.
