Great for barefoot horses!
I've used these boots for years and love them! My horse does fairly well barefoot, but can get tender footed if we are on a gravel road or rocky terrain for more than a short stretch. There is a big difference between how he moves with these on versus barefoot on rocks so they're my go to when I'm riding outside of an arena. The sizing can be a bit tricky to figure out initially but once I knew what size worked best they fit wonderful! I tried both a size 2 and size 3 regular before finally settling on a 3 slim which is perfect. The regular size 2 could hardly be taken off his foot and the regular size 3 would twist a bit. 10/10 recommend that people give these a try if you're looking for an alternative to shoeing your horse if they just need a bit more protection on occasion.

Hard to fit
I purchased these boots according to the fit chart and after measuring my horse's hooves but after just wearing them for a few hours it rubbed the back of pastern area even with the under glove on not sure whether to go down a size would help and they're about 4 weeks out from a trim but they were measured the week of their trim

Great for my show horse with glue-on shoes
I bought these for my show horse who has glue-on front shoes. She has fairly sensitive feet, and in New England, it is quite rocky. These boots are really great as an added layer of protection when I am taking her from barn to ring and walking on uneven ground or concrete for longer distances. They are also quite helpful at horse shows when going from barn to ring, I find they help me save her feet in the long run and I run into less shoe loss issues. I added the gel inserts for additional cushioning and she seems to be quite comfortable in them.

Good got the money
I haven’t used this one yet as my horse got her shoe back on by the time I got the one! But I did use a friend’s which is why I bought this one— I didn’t ride in it but used it to walk around in when I had her hoof packed and duct taped for an abscess. Easy on and off, good fit, good quality. Don’t know about rubs because her hoof was wrapped

Good boot.Easy on/off
Using with pads for horse that got pasture laminitis. Pulled shoes off front and using boots with pads on all 4 feet. Caught it early and he’s moving well!! Just need to remove them a few hours/day to let feet air/dry out

Very well made boots
I bought these boots for my 22-year-old Appy mare, who is recovering from an unfortunate episode of laminitis. Her interior bones are fine, but she is foot sore with thin soles, and her recent trim aggravated the situation. The vet recommended boots such as these, and with them on, she moves much more freely and with less obvious pain. I have decided I will no longer put shoes on her, and just use these boots when she is ridden. For this situation, they have been a lifesaver, and I can tell she appreciates them. They are super easy to get on and off, and the construction is superb. Well worth the money.

Well made product
The measurements given for ordering this boot were correct for getting the appropriate size for my horse. They fit snugly, but are easy to put on.

Easy to put on
Great boot for my 27 year old (disabled) mare to give protection to her unshod foot when she is turned out. The boot fits her well and is easy to put on, take off. I appreciate being able to buy just one boot at a reasonable price!

Quality boot
This boot is very well constructed compared to other brands I’ve tried. It’s very easy to put on & stays on. They didn’t require any break in period which was nice. I haven’t used them for riding yet just for wear in the pasture for a horse with laminitis.
