For everyday stuff I have the Woof brushing boots, they are about £30 per pair and I have had mine for over 10 years and they are still going strong. They are used everyday, washed every couple of weeks and are still great. They dont rub either.
I got 2 pairs of second skin boots at Bramham, and am very impressed, they have gel, breathable and also double locked. They are much more flexible then the woof boots, about £30 per pair, not sure where to get them though online!!
Scottish_Miss, why do you want boots with gel in? serious question, i can't think of a good reason to have them in any horseboots tbh, surely they hold heat, are heavy, and sweaty, and not as protective as a solid tendon guard? am i missing something hugely obvious here?! ta.
i would look at premier equines, i have the extreme and air cooled event boots which are excellent
also have prolites which are very good, or for bog standard brishing boots i have mark todd ones which are excellent and very good value for money
For brushing boots I have ww and they have lasted me years. I have had mine 4 years. I also have a pair of mums from years ago. In fact they are almost 20 years old (no exageration) and they still are good.
