We used soft rides at the clinic I used to work at, but, for the $$ I love the Easyboot RX or cloud. Fit well and not as awkard. And lighter! |

| I have both and here is why:
I originally purchased the Clouds, due to weight and price. However, the mare that needed them the most is a HEAVY gal and I didn't think the inserts held up well enough for her weight (she had them broke down in a few wears). So, I got soft rides for her with specific inserts for heavier horses; perfect. So, I use the Clouds on my smaller, lighter mare and they work great for her.
Just a couple things to think about. |

Same thing I love my Softrides for my big boy hes a bigger heavier horse and needed the extra support.. I dont think you could got wrong on either one that you choose.  |

Location: Hill Country of TEXAS!! | I have only pulled a cloud boot out of the box in a store and pushed on the insole and put it right back in the box and left it on the shelf. I can see them working for hauling to rodeos and races but if you really haul long hours or need them for a horse needing support i would say they are not good for that. They are flat, cheap ( to me) and hard insoles. Nothing compared to the insoles of the soft rides which you can order theraputic ones for different needs. So for me, id rather spend the $ on softrides which i already know are worth the $ and are shock absorbing for my horses on long hauls or long term standing on hard ground. |
