Location: Louisiana | I always go back to CE...to me, the elites just don't fit my horses great. The medium is a hair to small, and the large is way too big.
I wish the CE were taller, but they fit the best imo.
I really want to try flow boots. I just haven't forked over the $$$.
I like polos, but like someone else mentioned, both my horses burn through the back ones pretty quickly. But they're also cheap, soooo.
For anyone that like the elites or smb3s, I heard someone say that these off brand boots from Dennards fit almost exactly the same, for $20!! They come in several colors, I was thinking of ordering a black pair for muddy arenas lol. |

AGREE. I've had hand me downs since I was a child that my dad bought for us back in the 80s. Still look brand new! |

Location: Kansas | Professionals Choice 100%. I bought a pair of Classic Equine and could not get them to fit right for the life of me, and they had A LOT of dirt in them every time I took them off. Won't waste my money on another pair ever again. |

Location: Phoenix | I use Relentless because we get them at wholesale prices. They fit really well and aren't bulky at all. HOWEVER, I prefer leather splint boots. So does my horse. |

Veredus Carbon Gel. They're for jumping, but they've been way better than sports medicine boots. Lent them to a friend to make a run in, she's sold too. The fetlock boots are jam up and don't come off.
I bought the fronts, love them and my gelding seems to as well. |

Do you like the Dennard's boots? Thinking about ordering some as practice boots. They are so cheap! |

I am really close to ordering a set of these to replace my old Ed Wright splint boots.
I just have a really hard time understanding how a flimsy neoprene sport boot can offer much of any support for a horses leg and the impact protection on most neo sport boots is pretty week. Just take your typical sport boot and put it on your forearm, then smack it with the edge of a horse shoe I am betting it still smarts quite a bit.
Out of all the neo boots I like the design of the iconoclasts the best but these boots just seem to fall apart after a year or so.

We're all going to be trendsetters.
I think more and more people are finding out about these boots and will be trying them. Mine are a year old now and still going strong. Those Italians know what's up! I always see people looking at my boots, and have had a few curious folks ask me about them. The price can be a turn off, but honestly, they're cheaper than a trip to the vet, and they last and last. I'm keeping them. :) |
