These look quite interesting! I'd give them a go (assuming they really do stick).

They got fully funded on Kickstarter in six days. There's a day left on the campaign if you want to grab an early pair.

Thoughts?

thoughts are that I will let others be the guinea pigs and thoroughly test them over hundreds of miles in every condition. When I can be sure they really do stick, especially in UK mud and the bogs I ride through I will try them. At the full price they are no cheaper than boots
 
I've been following theses boots.

But I cant see how the Velcro will attach to the hoof, what sort or glue will they use?
Will it stay on in the wet and mud, stay sticky enough so the boot will actually stick?
How often will they need changing as the hoof grows and who will be able to attatch them?

Still watching with interest though, any progress can only be a good thing.

You will be waiting a while, they are not going to be available before July 2017.
 
It has been commented that every horse in their video looks short striding, they look clumpy and don't do anything for the break over in their current form. I can't imagine they will stay on in a uk winter and I don't want to stick stuff to my horses hooves, certainly not anything that might actually stay on. But apart from all that ;)

not a problem. Plenty of time for all their faults (as there are with any new footwear when released to the masses) to be sorted.

I also wonder who will be able to attach them. I suspect not owners or trimmers which to my mind will rule out a lot of users in the UK.
