![]() ![]() We use the boots for hunting, packing, and endurance riding. If doing 50-mile rides, we'll use some Sika-Flex glue. If doing a 100, glue-on boots without gaiters are what I'd recommend. But for anything <25 miles per day, the Gloves are great, and hold on through some serious bogs. Back-country boots are the same shell with a different gaiter. My neighbor hasn't had any issues, but I think a horse going fast may have some trouble keeping them on (which is why they aren't recommended for endurance by the company). One nice thing about boots is the lack of noise. You don't "click-clack" down the trail, but instead sound more natural. I have left Gloves on for a week with the athletic tape or Sika-Flex. If you're just carrying a back-up, you might consider just the old EasyBoot, if they still make them. my horses have literally thousands of competitive miles in very rough, wet, boggy, muddy country, not to count the miles of conditioning they have. I was concerned, too, when we stared, but it's not an issue. I will say we have had the gloves rub a time or two and I just can't say how those developed. ![]() ![]() So check under the gaiters for sure, but you don't have to remove the boot.Ĭheck out the Blog at Eas圜are.

They are re-usable, and I'd say we generally get a couple hundred miles per boot. Generally, the gaiter wears out and it's a matter of just replacing the gaiter. (The gaiters need re-design if you ask me.) We've worn holes in the toes of a few within 100 miles, but those have been particularly tough rides, and they're still functional. ![]()
