Very easy to put on, good for round feet, forgiving on fit.

Do slip on ice more than bootless but I'm not sure any boot would be as good as their own feet.

I think they are a good starter boot, it looks as if her feet will be too small for them once she has grown a whole new hoof, so then I may go for easy boot gloves or renegades if I think we still need some.

They are so neat and unobtrusive, and are good on all surfaces. You do need to remember to do the gaiter up good and tight before galloping up a 1 in 4 hill though :o

ETA - they are a bit of a pain to get on and off - the ones that fit best are pretty tight, and with mine, I need to tap the toe with a rubber mallet to get them on, and they sort of "suck" on to the hoof, so you have to learn the technique to get them off (involves wiggling a finger in to break the seal then wiggling boot side to side until it comes off. They are not the easiest boots to get on and off, but this does mean they don't tend to come off of their own accord - where I've lost Gloves, others have lost nailed on shoes ;-)).
