Re: [RC] [RC] [RC] Boot preferences? - terry banisterI will chime in to say that my horse has never had shoes and, knock on wood, never had scratches.I live in So. Cal. and do endurance. I have been using the Boa Boots on hind feet and Old Macs on front (as a test). The new gaiters for the Old Macs are excellent, and I would consider them a "must." The Old Macs never come off and the traction is good. The gaiters help with debris and really ensure against rubbing that can occur with that inner strap. HOWEVER, I too only got about 100 miles out of the boot before the one fell apart. It looks like they connected the canvas top to the rubber base with leather, and that doesn't last long enough. The Boa Boots are doing great. The new gaiters with the foot pad really stay in place, and even hold the boot on (if I didn't get the knob locked on installation). No heel rubbing and very little debris. Have not gotten scratches. Ridden a few hundred miles so far, including a two-day 100 with them. Did 20 miles yesterday. I wonder if Desitin would hurt the Neoprene gaiter? <html><P><IMG height=12 src="http://graphics.hotmail.com/emsmiled.gif"; width=12> Happy Trails!</P> <P>Terry</P> <DIV></DIV></html>
