In 20 years of using EZ boots I have never had a broken cable.
Some cables have gotten frayed but they have never broken. My guess
is that you may be putting them on too tight. I use my foot to close the buckle
but never have to stand on it to make it close, which makes them snug but not tight.
Since I use the boots over shoes I wrap the hoof with vet wrap before putting
on the boot and have never lost an EZ boot put on over a shoe. I used them
successfully this way on 1 horse during the 2004 XP for 600 miles over 5 weeks
of the ride. My dead EZ boots all have worn out bottoms. I am on my
last red boots and will cry when they wear out. Is it still possible to buy
red EZ boots?
