Question about sports boots/ wraps

[Copper-Beach]

Keep seeing various brands of sports boots like these premier equine ones:

Just wondered what types of things people actually use them for and whether they're any good?

Sorry if this is a really dumb question!

Good for protection, but can overheat the legs, and do not offer any support to the internal structures of the limb

Do people tend to use them more for flat work? Would they overheat the legs anymore than a neoprene based brushing boot?

I have some of those, my boy was a bit clumsy while he was still weak learning lateral work and they encased his fetlock, so loads of protection. They have perforations within the structure and did not heat his legs any more then neoprene. In fact I like them so much as they are flexible that we did some early XC work with them on his back legs. I did put something more substantial on when we started to go a bit bigger.

thanks. They do look good for a bit more coverage, may try a pair
