Location: Under the Big Sky - Montana | I am wanting to try a pair of iconoclast boots. How do they compare to SMB's in sizes and how do they hold up? Has anyone noticed a huge difference in them compared to the SMB's for support? |

I haven't had mine long enough to know if they hold up well, but I sure like the idea behind them and the support. I measured the horse I use them on as I think they may run a tad small. They have a chart on the place I order from though, or I think that is where I saw it. http://besthorsegear.com/ |

Location: N Texas | Ditto to what everyone else says, you MUST measure your horse. If they are between sizes like mine is, opt for the larger size. For instance, my gelding is 10.5 inches on the front and 11.5 inches on the back, so exactly in-between sizes. I went up a size and got large for the front and extra large for the back and they fit great! I love them! |

| Yes, measure, and they run small for sure. Not super small...My horses both wear mediums in SMB's and in Iconoclasts, but if your horse is on the top end of a "medium" in SMB's, then you should probably go for a large in Iconoclasts, if that makes any sense. They hold up well. I love the support, I could literally feel my gelding move differently with the first steps when I put them on. I'll also never buy another boot again. My only bad experience is do not get them too muddy and do not put them in the washer. The velcro won't stick well after that. I don't use them if its muddy out, I'll just use polo's. And if they do get dirty, just hose them down and hang dry. Take a look around at prices because some of the bigger name online stores charge a lot more, so do a google search and find a good price! |

| I have bought all my iconoclasts through Riding Warehouse. Their prices are pretty good to begin with and if you "like" their facebook page you get a 10% off code. I believe it's "LIKE10" and it applies to your whole order and free shipping over $50! Definitely measure for size, mine wears a med front and lg. hind |

| I'm wanting to try them. I found a website that you can buy 2 sets of fronts for $150 and it's always free shipping. I believe the full set is $155. I don't like putting boots on the back I prefer to use polos. |

Location: Mendenhall, Ms | The boots are good. I did not like the bell boots. They did not hold up. Some came unstitched with very little use. |

Location: Texas | They have held up great for us. The original boots had some fraying issues but the manufacturer corrected that.
Our average sized horses wear medium fronts and large hinds. However, I'd measure just to be sure. |
