These work great and have held up really well! I bought them last year and they stayed on 24/7 for days at a time in the pasture and in the stall during fly season. They are super lightweight and breathable material so no excess heat on the legs. The soft mesh and fleece around the top and bottom provide all day comfort. Buying another pair this year for the back legs!

Easy to put on & do help with flies. However, the stays in these fly boots are not strong enough to keep the fly boot up. My horse came in from turnout with one twisted & bunched up around his pastern. Don't recommend.

Didn’t even last one summer
I bought these last summer and they were garbage after 2 months. The elastic on the top and bottom was no longer stretchy and therefore the boots would just fall down my horses legs and were a safety hazard.

Good quality, but rubs my horses pastern and heels
I had a painter of these last year and loved them. Got a new pair this year and the bottom part is rubbing the back of my mare’s pastern and heel badly. Could be the elastic at the bottom is too tight? The old pair did not have elastic in the hem. Might try to add a softer fleece to the hem and see if that helps.

Shredded in a month
I bought these a month ago and the mesh has shredded from the top. Duct tape won’t even hold them together.
Flimsy material.

Loving These Bubble-Style Boots!
These fly boots are perfect to help keep flies off my horse’s legs and reduce stomping. I love how they are designed to “bubble” away from the legs, which helps with airflow and gives me peace of mind that there is not a lot of heat building up under these boots on hot, muggy summer days. My horse has worn these boots for days at a time, and I have not had any issues with rubbing on his sensitive TB legs. They have a stiff piece on the side that helps keep them up on the leg, and I have not had any issues with them sliding down. I also have been very happy with the quality of these boots as they are still holding up, even on my horse who is turned out 24/7 with a few friends. I found ordering up a size for the hind legs resulted in these boots fitting both my horse’s front and hind legs perfectly.

Poor construction
I bought these boots and they didn’t last but a month. Ripped at the Velcro attachment.
Tried again and ordered another pair. Same issue. They aren’t well constructed. And my horse isn’t rambunctious.
Expensive to have purchased two sets and they didn’t even last two months.
I love SmartPak products but these are the worst of all my purchases.

Not well made
These are not well made fly boots. They lasted less than 24 hours on my horse. I'm not sure she's ever had
fly boots on before (my first summer with her) but I put them on in the afternoon and the next morning she
had them both off and one was completely ripped along the velcro. I have since purchased a different brand
that I prefer (was trying to not spend so much on them) and those she likes. I think these must be poorly made
to not even last a day.

fit fly boot review
Purchased this product mid April. Put on my mare last week. Loved the product. Pretty, light weight and breathable! However, came out to stable next day only to find all 4 sleeves in a pile outside of stall. Barn staff informed me she had removed all 4 herself during the night. (Two completely ripped apart.) She has worn fly sleeves many times before. Never had any problems. Pretty expensive purchase for less than 24 hours of wear. I don't recommend.

Not very sturdy
I bought this for fly season and within one night my horse completely rips out the support to hold the boot up and shreds the mesh on the other boot. Very disappointed in the quality as I love the SmartPak brand.
