Does Thresh have Hooves or does he wear shoes/boots?

Hi guys, my and my friend were having a long discussion on whether or not Thresh has hooves or not? So far, it's been 50/50. He kept making the claim of: "Thresh is not a horse, therefore he doesn't have hooves." Then I countered him with that horses are not the only animals with hooves. Then he countered me with that he is not any animal with hooves i.e. sheep, horse, goat, etc. I wanted the community opinion on this matter.
