alas, they were awful
My horse had laminitis, and icing his hooves in buckets of water was difficult in the winter. I had such high hopes for these! But there were problems:
. Really hard to put on. The ice packs have a little velcro to stick them to the inner layer of the boot; the layers of the boots also have velcro. In practice, the ice packs fall out while I tried to get the boot in place, and the velcro stuck to itself in various directions, making the whole thing rather difficult. Add a horse in pain and this was no fun.
. The ice packs don't actually even go down to the hoof on my horse. The bottom of the boot holds heat in, quite the opposite of what we wanted.
. Then my horse stepped on one of the ice packs and it broke open. Then that happened again. Both times within about two weeks of use. UGH.
I ended up returning these and using variously sized- and shaped ice packs with velcro. Much easier to put on and better placement possible.

excellent
I purchased this for my horse that foundered as he would not keep his foot consistently in an ice bath. This product has made icing him so much easier and I don't have to ask people to babysit him in an ice bucket when I can't be there. We've left it in place for up to an hour. He's been very good about wearing it.

good for icing hoof
This boot is good to ice the hoof wall. It is large however so can be cumbersome to use.

LIFE SAVER!
I've used these boots religiously twice per day for the past 4 months and they have been a life saver!! After getting special shoes & pads on to help with laminitis, I was no longer able to use ice water to treat my horse's feet (as he couldn't get his feet wet anymore). I gave the big black boots a try and they have worked like a charm. Easy to use and EXTREMELY durable (already used over 240 times and are still going strong..). I've had to replace the ice packs a number of times already, but that's to be expected with so much use (and is still probably cheaper than buying bags of ice every day). I would highly recommend these to anyone who has a horse with sore feet!

Cool Hooves
The Ice Horse products are second to none! I was looking for a product to keep my mare's hooves cool. She was suffering from laminitis and icing her feet help ease the pain she was enduring. Once you set up the sizing to your horses hooves they are very easy to use. One size fits all sizes of hooves. Velcro straps make the adjustments secure. My mare was not bothered having these on her feet. The reusable ice packs last well over 1 hour. Highly recommended!

Great for Laminitis Flare Up!
Ice Horse products are fantastic. They have helped me deal with a variety of chronic problems. Icing is a great way to deal with pain and inflammation. Thee are pretty easy to apply, but it takes practice to get the hoof in the right place. I removed the plastic "shoe" to get it on. I found this easier. I would then apply the shoe on afterwards. It is held on with velcro ONLY. Sometimes my horse would lose the shoe in the stall, but I found in her case it did not matter because the stall was closed and she was just walking around on shavings and eating. This product cools down the hoof and coronet band. I left them on for about an hour. Ice Horse ice packs don't last forever and depending on use you will need to replace them, however you can extend their life if you are willing to use a rubber mallet on them.

Great Value
My horse is a 17 hand very playful, very destructive Hanoverian. He has a health issue that I need to ice him 4 x daily. These boots have more than reached my expectations. I have been using them for almost 2 mos and they still look brand new. They do a great job on lowering the temperature of the hoof. Thank you for carrying a great product.

Great boots!
These boots are easy to put on and stay in place. I have a horse with laminitis and these boots have helped greatly. Much easier than the traditional method of filling a bucket with ice and fighting with the horse to stay still. I would highly recommend these boots!

Just be careful
This replaces a boot that I bought about two years ago. I notice now it says to restrain your horse in cross ties while using it. I don't think it used to say that and my mare ripped the shoe off when I left it on her in her stall
