"These boots were a great purchase! Loved the price, and they have lasted very well. I will say they are a bit on the small side, but they do stretch out after awhile. They fit well on my Thoroughbred."

"I really love these boots! They are a great fit on my 15.2 hh TB.
I have used them every ride since I bought them and they don't slip or loosen during the ride. They are a little stiff at first but break in very quickly and offer great protection.
These boots are easy to clean and look very nice even after getting really dirty and needing hosed off several times.
A great deal on great boots!

"I used these boots almost every day during the summer and fall, and still use them occasionally. I bought them to use when I was training a 6 year old 17.1 TB who was learning to jump. He was somewhat nonchalant about picking up his feet over fences, and also tended to interfere, especially on circles or when asked to change gait or pace.
I found them to be lovely and soft, not at all like the terribly sticky and unpleasant neoprene boots I have had in the past. They are lined with thick, soft neoprene, but are covered with some stretchy material that makes them so much better! The shell was flexible, but also strong enough to withstand the abuse the boots took from this clumsy greenie.
I used them for jumping, cross country, riding in the fields, and even a long trail ride (13 miles). They never had dirt inside them and did not hold water. I usually hosed them off after each ride and then hung them on my blanket bar to dry. Overall I loved them. I don't use them quite as often anymore because my new horse is a 3/4 TB 1/4 Clydesdale who is doing only flatwork at the moment, so I use my Valena sheepskin boots. But I did try these on him and they fit, although he has, ahem, large bones. When he starts jumping he will wear these and I'm sure they will serve him just as well!
I did want to include a funny story about when I first put these on the TB, who I don't think had ever had anything but polos on his hind legs. He walked like a doofus for about twenty minutes (and I mean he was kicking his belly with his hind legs!) but eventually, after a few ginormous bucks I might add, got used to them and never seemed to mind them again!

"I purchased these boots and they were so small. i couldn't even secure the straps on my 16.2 warmblood. They were extremely stiff as well. Just buy eskadrons value set. Worth the extra money."

"These boots were tiny. I was not that excited to have them squeezing my horse's legs and when the velcro barely reached to close, that sealed the deal - they were too small and needed to go back. I think these are made for some animal with finer legs than my 16.3 Warmblood."

"Bought these boots for everyday schooling to replace a set of Roma's...way better quality than Roma's. The elastic and velco seem to be extremely durable and fit my 17 hand Holsteiner just fine. The personalization is a nice touch to ensure boots don't walk off."

"I have a pink skinned horse that is very allergic to neoprine, as in breaks out in major hives and can't be ridden for weeks. I was told by a friend that even though these are neoprine they are a new kind and don't have allergy problems, well I needed a set for the other horses anyway so I figured if it caused a problem I would just use it on the other two.
No problems whatsoever, he was absolutely fine even for an over an hour dressage ride doing lots of lateral work and piaffe and passage, the boots didn't move and best of all no allergic reaction whatsoever. No sure what the difference is, but I have asked for another pair as an xmas present. :)"

"I adore these, I had surgery so my guys had a month off and my higher level dressage horse I knew would be a little rusty so I didn't want him hitting himself until he got his muscle back. I bought these even though one of mine is allergic to neoprine because someone told me it doesn't bother her horse which is also allergic to it. Two uses so far on the horse with the allergy and no problems. My other two horses did well in them also.
They are easy to use, easy to clean adn stay put! Many open fronts are cheaply made and slide around or rub the legs, but these are great!

"These boots are a great value for the price, especially considering that there are 4 in the set. I initially was only looking for a set of hind boots, but I figured why not try these, since I can now have an extra pair of front boots- if anything happens to my other pair.
These boots are much more substantial than they appear in the picture, and they can definitely take some knocks/strikes. The lining is also more substantial and protective than suggested in the product description; it is pretty cushiony and comfortable for the horse.
I do agree with a previous review that these are a bit stiff at first, so I only gave the fit a "4." However, after some time, the boots will become less stiff."

"What a great value these boots are for the price! They fit my horse great, stay in place (which was very important because I've had problems with other boots I'm the past) , and look very professional. They wipe off so easy cleanup. They have a soft, cushiony inside so I know my horse is comfortable. The only negative thing is they scuff easily and are a little stiff at first. Overall quality, fit, and value are all there and I highly recommend these boots!"

"My horse tends to hit his rear ankles with his shoes when working in deep sand. These boots are the answer to his problem. They protect wonderfully. I can see little marks in the boot but no tearing like in the other products I have tried in the past. Total protection. Easy on and off. Great product. The only reason I gave fit a 3 star rating is they flare a little more at the bottom on the back legs than I would prefer. Would buy again if I needed another pair."

"I couldn't believe this set of FOUR boots was only $80. These Hampa Pro Boots look sharp, offer excellent protection, clean easily and fit like a glove. I would expect them to cost three times this much. A friend at the barn even commented that I always have the "fanciest" equipment. Unbeatable for schooling – I can save my expensive boots for showing and still have something that looks great at every day."

"I bought these boots from somewhere else three years ago. I use them for schooling 3 - 4 days a week. They are incredibly durable yet seem to be very comfortable for my horse. They have the cut out at the top on the back of the front boots so that they aren't digging into my horse's leg as she moves. She has never gotten one rub not even when we've ridden in nasty, wet weather which resulted in soaking wet boots. I wash them in the washing machine and dry them in the dryer. They have held up incredibly well, but after 3 years of this kind of heavy use, they do need to be replaced. I am so happy to see that SmartPak sells them. I figure if these lasts 3 years like the other ones have then they cost me about $.62 each time I use them. You really can't beat that!"
