How long can turnout boots stay on?

Hi,
I was just looking up turnout boots for this coming winter but I couldn't find anywhere how long they could stay on for, is there a limit? Thanks!

12 hours max - less if not breathable type

i would not leave them on too long. Sweat - rain- mud. can get down make the leg -rub. End up lame horse with mud fever or worse.

I used them last winter for turnout during the day only and took them home to dry every night. Be careful if your horse has feathers, my ponies legs where matted and he isn't overly hairy.

I wouldn't leave them on for long and would get breahtable type as over heating tendons makes them soft and can cause problems.
