| I am needing a new pair of sports boots. What brands do you like best? I also have heard about Pegasus airboots, how are they? Please include pros and cons! Thanks!! |

| I like PC Elite. I find CE a little bulkier, so I don’t use them anymore. I haven’t tried anything else (because I’m happy with Elites).
Bell boots are a different story. I used to love the CE with the ballistic material on the back. I guess they don’t make them anymore? |

Location: Illinois | I have found my Professionals Choice to fit better than Classic Equine. I have a horse with fetlocks the size of a normal horse's knee. He can't wear CE because his fetlocks need an XL but the rest of his leg needs a medium. You can't get them to fit correctly with the cup centered on the back of the fetlock. I started using the Relentless boots last year and have been impressed. Their velcro can't be beat, those boots aren't going anywhere! For bells I use PC only just because they're longer in the back than the other brands. |

Agreed ^^^ I've used CE and Iconoclast. I use Classic bell boots still, but Iconoclast fronts and hinds. Better fitting and better support. |

| I’m using flow boot wraps currently on my small horse. went to then out of curiosity and because iconclasts were way too bulky on his petite frame, plus I trashed a pair in under a year.
The flow boots are ok. I may go back to pro choice when these are trashed, just for ease of use. |

| I saw A LOT of girls using Iconoclasts at the American semis! I think Iconoclasts fit best on my horses with a bit longer pastern. Relentless fit best on my horses with a short cannon bone and short pastern. Plus they are easy to put on and not bulky. I've never been able to get CE Legacies to fit right, and I always wondered if the splint pad on the inside irritates them if it moves around. |

Location: Ohio girl moved to PA | I hate PC, they never fit any horse that ive owned. Dont know if its just my horses or their boots but i gave up on them years ago. I used to use CE legacys and swore by them but my main mount just doesnt like them anymore, so i switched to iconoclast. I love them!! the velcro is amazing and theyve held up extremely well for us. I love how much more support they offer. My horse really seems to work better in them too, he feels like he has more confidence lol. I still use the CE bells as they just fit my boys better and they hold up longer imo. |

Location: North Dakota | For sport boots, I specifically like the Professionals Choice SMB 3 boot (not the 2 ... and not the elite). The 3 is getting harder to find though.
For bell boots, I like the Classic Equine dyno-turn.

Location: Northern Ontario | I'm a CE everything gal..love their products, but this year I purchased a pair of pc boots and I like me too. They both have their pluses. I prefer the velcro and fetlock support of the CE boots and I prefer the streamline fit of pc boots |

Location: Louisiana | CE just fit my horses better. I do like the way PCs are made, but on both of my boys the Med is too small and the Large is too big.
