Keeping shoes on/ no rub overreach boots

[lisan]

any suggestions? She is very fine skinned and I think most will rub her raw if I just left her in them 24/7, but her shoes seem to come quite far back and farrier advised to turn her out in o/r boots.

My horse wears plain rubber overreach boots 24/7 at the moment and they don't rub. He's quite think skinned too. They do fall apart regularly though!

only overreach boots i have left on in field are the rubber bell ones - the ones with velcro - any of these no turn kevlar types all rub- i know my horse rubbed and got celulitis and 4 days of box rest with two swollen legs!!! So now only ever rubber ones and taken off every day.

We use the rubber bell over reach boots on all of the sensitive skinned racehorses. Also my friend works at a polo yard and all the horses have the rubber ones on 24/7 no problem. I have had experiences with the velcro type rubbing if left on for too long.
