Simple boots will not stand up to endurance rides and the makers will not 
warranty them for distance. My gelding had terrible rub marks after walking 
in them for one trail ride.
I put gaiters on him the next day (made of vet wrap and my socks.)   lol
I tried epics last ride and LOVED them.
50 miles with deep mud ,river crossings, more deeeeeep mud, shoe sucking mud 
and had no problems at all.
