Findings:

A lot of horse owners like these boots, so I too, gave them a try. To me, they were not easy to get on or off and I have several issues with them. First of all, the cap to protect the dial on the front is cumbersome to take on and off. The risk of loosing it was great and happened with one boot. Without this protection of the dial, the dial easily gets damaged. The laces are a good concept, but may break over a period of time. These can easily be bought to be replaced. These boots are recommended to buy with gaiters (not included, pay an additional $20.00 per pair). I used them without gaiters and they were rotating around the hoof. I also had issues with pressure points on the front of the hoof. They also come up pretty high to the coronary band which I didn't like. Overall, these boots are a great concept, but in reality, they didn't work out for me and my horse. I therefore, tried several others, which I was happier with. These are also included in these reviews. But because of others having better experiences with them, I still wanted to rank them with a +++ rating.
