When i use the mud straps on my Scoots I never remove them. I have cut the slider down a bit to give more room and put the hoof through the mud strap to put them on. Just have to make sure you don't trap one under the hoof but otherwise no problems. Fortunately I haven't had a problem with rubs.
A long time ago I had boa boots and they rubbed the front of the pastern quite badly and constantly snapped cables.
