On one boot, the fabric pulled away from one part of the inside heel seam. There has been some fraying at the top of one of the straps but it hasn't gone very far. The velcro straps have proved to be very strong. In terms of durability, the pads squished down as expected but I have not felt the need to replace them but he is only walking in them in a small paddock. I add Gold Bond powder and I'm sure to clean out the inside and let them air out (in the sun, if possible) when he is worked. I have kept them on his hoo ves for almost 48 hours since I don't go to the barn every day. Now I prefer to use them to keep his feet clean and even though they are not waterproof, there is still enough protection/height at the base of the boot to keep his hooves fairly clean/dry when he steps into puddles. The concavity in his hooves has definitely increased and he can walk w/o the boots now on hard ground. He started to walk confidently in his paddock and no more tenderness as he walked out of his stall. After looking at various options, I decided to try the Clouds and it was definitely the right decision. While his foot comfort increased, I started to battle heel rubs.

(He has a strict diet and his feet are trimmed regularly.) Originally, I tried using the Cavallos Treks with pads that were used for riding. As the ground dried out in the summer, he was starting to get foot sore. I have a 'recovering laminitic' gelding and X-rays had shown his soles were on the thin side. Also, RW could suggest the purchase of a small cleaning brush to help knock off dirt and or snow.Ĭomments: I purchased a pair of Easyboot Cloud boots about 2 months ago. Note, the horse is in a small dry lot paddock not a box stall and is wearing boots for 22 hours a day. Also the rear, heel cover part of one boot is worn, frayed, and catching snow and mud after months of wear. I feel that If I cut them the whole velcro will just tear off. I would recommend that Easy Care, stitch across the top strap in several spots so customers can cut off excess themselves.

My Arab Cross with small pasterns has left the top flap of velcro approx. The reason was that the Clouds seemed to be just as durable and have been more popular due to pricing and cooler.

Comments: I purchased Cloud boots, instead of Stratus model after speaking to Easy Care about them being discontinued.
