All Duplo shoes and accessories are manufactured in Germany.

Duplo shoes are suitable for all types — from ponies (starting at 50mm) to draft horses (up to 198mm), and for disciplines like trail, dressage, jumping, endurance, rehab, and working horses.

Models include Clipped, Unclipped, Profiled, Sole-Closed, Open-Toed, Threaded (for studs), Arizona (with reinforced toe), Jumper (with bar), and Nailless (for glue-on use).

Duplo horseshoes are made from a durable plastic-urethane shell with an integrated steel core, combining flexibility and shock absorption with structural stability.

Available in sizes 50mm–198mm, in round, oval, and STS (Straight Toe Shape).

No, Duplo uses metric sizing. An approximate conversion chart is available, but millimeters are most accurate.
