Good Quality Bell Boots?

[HazuraJane]

Looking for brand names of reasonably-priced bell boots. My mare's favourite habit is to rip off the velcro tabs on hers; they last an average of 2-4 weeks. (She wears them during turn-out.) Pull-on rubber boots aren't an option due latex allergy. Are the spendier boots worth the extra money when it comes to durability?

My mare did similar, the Shires Arma ones seemed to stay put well as they're more rubber than plastic which gives when the Velcro is tugged. Either that or I just got several pairs of really cheap ones from amazon and just swapped one out each time as necessary.

I got a cracking cheap pair from Viovet. Don’t think they’re branded but the Velcro on them is unreal, actually too strong for me I struggle to get them off.

another vote for the shires arma ones, my mare lives in her set and they are really robust, I do go up a size though

Ive got neoprene ones they are good, lasted much longer than rubber

HJ - I'm just wondering if you are from the US? In the UK we call then over reach boots and I don't know which brands are available in both countries. Maybe you could clarify?

I had some professionals choice neoprene ones that stayed on no problem, my boy wore them all the time for turnout.

I've seen boots described as both 'over-reach' and 'bell.' One thing I don't want are the 'no turn boots' as they DO turn and also she can tear them up even faster than the 'no turn' models. She is hard on fly masks, rugs and boots. The other horses in the turn-out like to undress her.
