"I was thrilled to purchase these boots, especially when they were on sale. They are well made, and the quality was on bar with other, more expensive boots. My only complaint was the fit. I have a 16.2 TB and ordered the large size. The boots were a little over an inch too short, and I really had to stretch the elastic to fit across the front of his leg. A great boot, but the fit was not ideal for my large horse."

"I love these boots! They are just as good as the higher level boots and last a lifetime. Although I have not had them long I got them from a friend who had used them for a few years and they are still in great shape! She used them a lot so of course they have scratches but the velcro is still great and they still have their shape! Highly recommend! Would buy another pair if needed!"

"... they are still in fantastic condition. I have used these almost daily for a year, and not only is the velcro still "sticky" it is still brand new looking. The stitching is still tight and the lining is just as it was the day I bought them. They clean up well, and fit everything I've tried them on- you just can't beat the value these boots have. (Especially when you look at the Eskadron's and other popular brands.) I would absolutely buy a second pair because these have been fabulous."

"I was tired of spending a bundle for everyday boots. Have had these a month, they get used every day on at least 1 horse sometimes 2. The fit is good, and bonus of cutout behind the knee. Didn't expect that on inexpensive boots. Only worry I would have is that the fold-over velcro closure might not stand up to long term heavy use. but I've had that happen w/the expensive ones already. Great boot for the money."

"I purchased these boots because I needed an economical alternative to the Eskadron open-fronts. I previously purchased Roma open-fronts from another retailer and was very disappointed in the quality and fit, so I was not expecting much from these boots. Fortunately, I was very pleasantly surprised--these boots are exactly as advertised. Good quality boot with a hard shell, tight heavy-duty Velcro, and the flexible top. They are identical to the Eskadrons for a third of the price. I'm extremely happy with this purchase! Just wish they made a matching ankle boot. Thanks SmartPak!"

"These boots seem fine for everyday use, but I am not sure about their durability. They seem fine for the price, but I will have to use them a bit longer to see their true value. I have learned, especially in the horse world, that you really do get what you pay for, so we'll see.
They are easy to put on and are as described. However, they are a bit small for my 16hand American Warmblood, but they will do for now. My horse is difficult to fit for boots (short legs with a larger circumference) so the open front boots seem to work best. For now, these boots seem to do the trick and protect his legs well."

"I was very happy when these boots arrived and I tried them on my horse. I was a little worried about them being cheap quality and ill fitting, but, they were wonderful! They fit my 3 year old TB very well, I was very happy with the fit as he can be hard to fit. The overall design is quite nice, and seems to be very durable. The velcro is good, and strong, and the stitching is tight. They are easy to use, (even my non-horsey family can do them!) and the seem to offer excellent support and protection. Overall, if you are not wanting to spend the money on a more expensive popular brand, these are the best option! Great for schooling, and for shows- they don't look cheesy.
I wish they made matching ankle boots..."

"I ordered these boots in white. I've had them for a few months now. For the price, they are exactly what I'd hoped for: attractive, sturdy, and well-fitting. I really like that they have the flexible foamy material cutout on the top back to prevent any possible tendon pressure for use while jumping."

"I use these boots on my horse every day for schooling, and they've held up really well considering how much they've been used! The best part is that you can just hose them clean. The Open Front Protection Boots are a great alternative if you want open fronts for schooling but can't afford other higher-priced brands!"
