My New Favorite Fly Boots!
I was skeptical of trying these fly boots when I first got them, as I was worried about the material rubbing my horse’s legs over time. I’m happy to say I was wrong! These boots are a perfect fit on my horse’s front legs, and the inside has a softer material around the high-motion fetlock area to help reduce any rubbing and increase comfort. The fly boots definitely help to reduce stomping and subsequent shoe loss on these hot, dry summer days. They are straightforward to take on and off, and any dirt or mud easily falls off with a quick hosing. My horse is turned out 24/7 with a few friends, and I haven’t had any issues with the quality of these boots. These are now my favorite fly boots and I plan to use them for many summers to come!

Poor Quality.
The fit and concept of the fly boots is fantastic. The material is subpar. I have owned these for less than a month, not used every day, and they are already ripping. I purchased both the front and hind deluxe boots, and both have been disappointing as they do not hold up to normal wear and tear.

Don't Buy
I have purchased many pairs of these over the years, both grey and blue. Sadly, the quality has not improved... so disappointed! I appreciate an alternative that is affordable but if quality is lacking , it really is not an affordable alternative, and becomes more expensive in the long run. My horse is 30, not a rambunctious yearling, in an area with no weeds or other debris and these boots still fall apart in 2-3 weeks. The seams come apart with very little pressure- the edges are not long enough to hold together.

Good quality
Absolutely love these! I bought the a couple months ago and my gelding wears them 24/7. They hold up next and keep his legs from getting eaten up. I plan on buying the hinds

Love, but not the greatest quality
I got these and I love them and how they fit, but my boy has only been wearing them for about a week and they’re already starting to get holes in them

Comparable to Cashel
These boots look and feel like Cashel’s boots, so it is no surprise that they will only hold up so long. I bought the fronts and rears on a great sale. Two weeks in, a front boot must have gotten stepped on, and the bottom half separated. Now, it did so in a manner that I should easily be able to fix it. If you like Cashel’s fly boots, you’ll like these. You’ll really like that the hind boots are taller too!

Fly Boots “meh”
I purchased the full set (front/hind) less than two months ago. They didn’t hold up or stay up. The weave (plastic) and piping pulled away from the stitching. Even though they are molded to hug the fetlock, and have enough Velcro tabs the boots still slide down the leg.

Goof fly boots
I've bought several pairs of these over the years, and have had mixed results. If your horse tends to be hard on anything- blankets, halters, etc, then these will not hold up for long. But if yours is gentle on their stuff, then these will stand a chance. I decided to give them another try, and bought a pair for my oldest mare, who is very easy on her stuff. Because I unexpectedly had to go out of town for business recently, she ended up wearing them 24/7 out in the pasture for almost a week. Aside from them being somewhat twisted around on her legs, they were both still up and intact. I would definitely recommend these, with the caveat on knowing how hard your horse is on "clothes" and equipment.

These ripped within a week. I would take a pass on these.

Ripped in half!
These are definitely not durable. My horse has worn them TWICE, and they've already ripped completely in half. He was only wearing half of one boot this afternoon when I got him out of his field, and the other boot was lying on the ground in 2 pieces. I'm not happy to already be needing to buy new boots.
