Velcro is poorly stitched
I've been using these for about 2 months now for schooling only. (My horse wears different bell boots for turnout, hacking out, etc.) They look nice and do not rub my sensitive horse's pasterns or heels. They are easy to clean. The faux leather was really attractive at first but has bubbled and rippled over time, which is fine for what I use these for. However, the velcro comes unstitched really easily, which is frustrating for boots that haven't seen a lot of intense protective use (e.g. no signs of heel grabs, rubbing on each other, etc.). On my next pair, I'll spend a little more to get better velcro.

Great Quality and Large enough for my 17.2hh WB
I bought these recently and was very pleasantly surprised. The quality of the fleece and boot is quite nice. I have a large 17.2hh Warmblood and the XL was big/long enough without being too bulky! My gelding has white socks and is prone to getting rubs from classic bell boots so the fleece is a must. They have been easy enough to wipe down with a wet rag, though we live in a dry climate and have not used them in wet conditions yet so I don't know how easy the fleece is too clean. Overall very happy!

Great bell boots for price
I bought my first pair 10 months ago for my first horse and I loved them so much I bought a pair for my other horse. Great quality. Holds up well. Washes in washing machine great.

Great Value
If you are wondering what's the difference between these and other fleece lined bell boots 2-3x the price... First these are not no spin which I like because in my experience the no spin bells spin anyways but then there's an uncomfortable lump in the wrong place. Also this is synthetic sheepskin which I actually prefer for ease of laundering. I also ride in dressage sport boots and have found the boot can wear the fluff off real fleece but not the synthetic. These are a great value and less painful to replace as they seem to have similar longevity to real fleece but a lower replacement cost.

Strong velcro
I bought this about a month ago. They do size small. I got a medium for my half arab and it just fits but they work great. I will by another pair for my other horse.

Favorite Bell Boots!
I've tried many different types of bell boots and these are by far my favorite! I originally just got them for turnout along with the SmartPak Sport Boots but now we use them for turnout, lunging, and training (flatwork and jumping). They hold up very well, the velcro is strong and secure, and they are very easy to clean!

Wonderful bell boots!
These are great. They are very nice quality. String velcro, durable synthetic leather. They look very professional. These easily compare to the very expensive similar ones. I love these for schooling and would even use them for clinics.

Good quality and very durable!
I have a senior OTTB who is a bit ataxic in his rear limbs. He tends to misstep and cause wounds along the inner aspects of his fetlocks. I can keep him in these boots all day to protect his Pasternak and heels without any issues with them causing friction abrasions. The material has proven to be more sturdy than rubber in this particular situation.
