  Location: Millington, TN | Has anyone else had problems with the boots fraying and tearing? Mine are only a few months old and they are already tearing up. I love the way the fit my horse but I need a boot that will hold up in the long run. What is a boot that fit similar to them?

| Mine frayed so bad...I'm looking for something to replace it as well because the fit is good just the stitching came out really fast and ripped a lot. |

     Location: N Texas | I've heard a few people complain about that, but I've had mine for about a year and a half and they're still in perfect condition. Granted, I only use them at barrel races, not every day riding. |

| I don't have experience but Dynamic Edge by cactus is the same concept. |

  Location: Millington, TN | I will call the company and see. I ride about once or twice a week so they should not be doing this.....
I really do love the fit! |

 Location: Wisconsin | The second time my horse wore them, they frayed near the fetlock. If your horse is close in the front, it appears that these will not hold up. |

        Location: on my horse | by the second use one of the fronts was so frayed I had to stitch the edge myself. The second one gave out not long after, by use 5 I think? I'm SUPER disappointed in these boots, I don't like the way they fit, they are bulky, and they are completely falling apart. I've re sewn the frayed edges to keep using them but finally just switched out to a different pair. I'll contact the company and see if they are covered still since I've sewn on them.
Other brands of boots I've used haven't frayed like this so I don't think its my horse... |

| I have one pair of fronts that is 2 yrs old and just now giving out. I have another set of 4 that are about a year old and in the same shape, maybe a little heavier use. The back ones are in worse shape but I've never tried another brand on this horse so he may just be hard on boots.
I'm tempted to try a different brand in the spring just to see |

      Location: Mi | My iconoclasts have held up very well, but the Dynamic Edge by cactus is the same concept as them. I've been using the Dynamic Edge all summer becuase I'm a cactus dealer and figured I'd better try them. They are alot lighter and less bulkier that the Iconoclasts. They've held up very well. I don't think they hold as much heat ast he iconoclast because they are a lighter boot.

 Location: Michigan | I stopped using them because I could only get about a year of use out of them before they pretty much were falling apart. I liked the design but they just do not hold up. |
