What is everyone's favorite type/brand of bell boots for turnout (for horses that like to pull shoes)?

I like the pull on gum ones, or the davis velcro ones.  The velcro doesn't dry very fast and will get dirty faster than the all rubber ones.

The pull on gum type.

And double checking that your farrier is setting the horse up for success and not letting toes get long in front and slowing the breakover.

But I have one we got tired of finding pulled shoes on, he's barefoot now.

Davis. The Velcro is very strong. The Velcro is the same direction on both boots, which means one foot doesnt have the Velcro in the correct direction, but haven't had an issue.

 i like to have my farrier fix that problem... he will cut the front shoes off even with the heel...  and square off the toes in the back...setting the shoe back a little so there is not metal hitting metal  if they do overreach.

I agree with the Davis rubber. I also got them a size too big and it helped, although i did have one that tended to rip his quite often but their cheap so its no big deal. I also switched farriers since then and hes hasnt pulled a shoe since!
