Durasole is the most effective sole toughener in the industry. Designed to strengthen the exfoliating sole and frog of the equine foot, Durasole works by chemically crosslinking proteins in the hoof tissue to form a natural, living pad. Unlike oil-based dressings, Durasole thickens and swells cell membranes at the molecular level—enhancing structural integrity without affecting the moisture balance of the hoof. Ideal for barefoot transitions, thrush control, or horses working over rugged terrain, Durasole delivers unparalleled support with just a few drops.

• Use 6x/day during the first week, 4x/day the second week, then 2x/day while the horse is in training.
• Trim/Shoeing Maintenance: Apply after every trim or shoeing to prevent white line disease and thrush.

• For use on sole and frog only – never above hairline
• Wear gloves and safety glasses when applying
• Do not ingest – harmful or fatal if swallowed
• Flammable – keep away from sparks or flames
• Use isopropyl alcohol for cleanup in case of spills

Durasole is powered by formaldehyde, which forms methylene bridges between lysine and glutamine side chains on collagen protein structures in the exfoliating sole and frog. This crosslinking process increases density, strength, and flexibility at the cellular level—creating a “living pad” without coating or drying the hoof. Gentian violet and povidone-iodine add antifungal and antibacterial benefits, making Durasole effective in the treatment of thrush and white line disease.

Durasole has been used on race tracks, show rings, eventing courses, endurance trails, and rodeo circuits around the world. Its non-oil-based, aldehyde-rich formula allows extended use—even on chronically thin-soled horses—without compromising hoof moisture. Family owned and operated since 1978, Durasole is distributed through top veterinary and farrier suppliers worldwide.
