I bought a couple pairs for the front feet of our horses when we go up 
to Tennessee for a few days of riding. I don't use anything in the back. 
I really like them. While they are rubber they don't seem to have too 
much grab but they also don't seem to slip like EZboots can. I was 
worried at first about them changing the breakover or being too heavy. 
But that isn't a problem. They are easy to put on the second time. There 
is a learning curve. They are a heck a lot easier to get off than 
EZboots and unlike my experience with EZboots - they stay on.
