==========================================

All my horses went barefoot 2 years ago and to get me through the transition I 
used Old Macs. They are far ahead of any other boot as long as they are sized 
correctly. They have much more shock absorption than any of the other boots due 
to the sole type. They shape to the hoof better so they can fit any hoof shape 
more securely , especially a couple of mine who have odd shaped hooves. They 
are so easy to put on and take off which is an advantage due to the Velcro. For 
endurance I would suggest using pastern wraps for any type of boot. We tried 
the Boas but the dial  interferes with the natural movement of the pastern  as 
it comes forward over the hoof and puts tremendous pressure onto the tendon 
sheath and coronet at the front of the hoof so I would not recommend using them 
for long periods. All in all it comes down to personal choice and for me and my 
riding buddies the Old Macs have constantly out performed all the others
