"I was disappointed in the boot sizing. The horse size would be for a very small horse only. I had to return for the WB X-large, and my horse is by no means an X-Large horse .
I'm still awaiting the replacement so maybe I will like them better if the sizing is better.

"I love the sheepskin. It's a little heavier than expected but very protective boot. My only real complaint is that there is only one size. The fronts run a little tan in size, but the width is good. So they only fit my taller Throughbreds (16.3 hands), but still could be a bit shorter for them. I have not bought the hind boots yet since I'm afraid they may be too big. Otherwise, they are a great boot."

"I bought these boots specifically to get the benefit of the sheepskin lining. They're great, but I have some doubt about the lining's ability to withstand frequent washing even with MELP, so I don't think these are ideal for use when the conditions will get them caked with dirt and sweat. It takes a long time for the lining to air dry after washing. Other than that, they fit great and the hard shell seems more likely to protect against strike injuries."

"Just as I came to love my Mattes Pad, I love these boots! They are easier to clean than the other boots I have used and can use the Melp from my pad to keep them looking sharp and neat."
