Your experience does sound really frustrating!  We could go on for hours 
coming up with explanations which might or might not make any 
difference.  All I can say is that no company is perfect, so saddle fits 
every horse and no hoofboot fits every hoof.  If you still want to use 
the boots, keep trying.  If not, move on.  Personally, I've found I can 
use 2 different sizes on my horse depending on whether I'm using a pad 
or not & how thick the pad is.  In my experience, hoofboot fit is 
definitely not an exact science, any more than human shoe fit is. 
Knowing that probably doesn't help relieve your frustration though!
