Likes: where to start? The MOST important thing is my horses love them - they are very protective of the hoof, and don't affect their gate or change their stride at all. I have never had any problems rubbing, though you can get a teflon coated sock thing, but even my chestnut TB wimp didn't need those.
I have done everything in these - well, my horses have ;) - huntertrial, dressage, showjumping, and good old messing around on the moors, woods, and in the good old English mud and clay - and they stay on!
Being a skinflint, I also like that I can put varying amounts of air into the rear of the boot, and use them on horses with similar size but different shaped feet - try that with metal shoes!
best of all, all parts are replaceable - the sole most importantly.
Lastly, I can put studs in for really bad conditions.
Dislikes: Getting used to the air bag took a couple of goes, but its very easy and quick now.
Quality: design by a German vetinarian -need I say more? VERY well made, really solid construction, but not any heavier that steel shoes. Fits to the hoof really well, doesn't interfere when jumping.
Summary: try them in flourescent yellow - not only safer when riding on roads in the gloom, but look amazing too, especially on my daughters black pony!
