Our patented anti-bacterial Birdy Bootie protective shoe is designed to provide superior coverage and cushioning for birds with injured feet or bumblefoot (a staph infection on the foot pad or toe.)

Our Birdy Bootie is made of high quality materials and with a superior design:

• Our booties are made of durable Neoprene, the same material used for wet suits, to protect wounds from dirt and moisture while providing extra cushioning for the injured foot.
• The underside of the booty is made of textured, non-slip neoprene while the top and inside are made of silky smooth nylon-covered neoprene.
• The booties fasten around the foot and ankle with super-strong velcro.
• The seams on the inside of the opens toes provide both adequate space for toes and structure to enable circulation of air. Our roomy Birdy Bootie provides plenty of space for bandaging and padding of the wound with a cotton ball or two.
• Unlike "one-shape fits all" chicken shoes, our patent-pending Birdy Bootie is specifically designed for fit and comfort: the left bootie is shaped to be worn on the left foot and the right shoe is shaped to be worn on the right foot.
• Two styles: The Chicken Bootie, which has open toe sleeves, and the closed-shoe Waterfowl Bootie for ducks and geese.
• The sole of the Birdy Bootie is made with NeoSponge,^™ porous, synthetic rubber material designed to flex, have great durability, and be resistant to breakdown by water. NeoSponge^™ is used in human orthotics and medical footwear.
• Our Birdy Bootie contains X-Static® - a pure silver fiber - woven directly into the fabric:

- X-Static® eliminates 99.9% of bacteria on the material in less than one hour of exposure.

- The silver in X-Static® kills bacteria and fungi faster as the temperature in the bootie rises due to activity.

- X-Static® is made with pure silver, a naturally occurring element. There are no chemicals or fear of toxicity to your bird.

- The silver in X-Static® becomes a physical part of the fiber. The performance of the product will not diminish over time.

- X-Static® offers antimicrobial and antifungal benefits.

- In warm weather, X-Static® addresses evaporation by dissipating the amount of moisture in contact with your bird’s foot.

Fits all standard-sized breeds.

 Please note: One of the ways birds stay cool is by dissipating heat from their feet (which is why you may find your chickens standing in puddles of water or in their water bowls on hot summer days). We do NOT recommend the use of the Birdy Bootie on birds housed outside in extreme heat.
