Ive got the ARMA brushing boots and had them for nearly 5 years. They are used 6 days a week and have stood up really well and are still going strong. For the money they are brilliant, much better than the Le Mieux brushing boots I had which split the first time they went in the washing machine and cost twice as much as the ARMA ones.

Literally just taken mine out of the washing machine having been arena eventing schooling this morning. They fit my ConnieXTB really well.
Good tendon guards on the fronts. Mine have been well used for 2 eventing seasons and are still going strong.

Same.

I have have Air Motion Brushing Boots and they're my everyday boot. They last and I just toss them in the washing machine. I wouldn't hesitate to try another type of boot from them. My LeMieux brushing boots (also mesh material) hardly lasted a few rides before stitching and whatnot split and fell apart. This isn't a horse that's hard on boots either.

Hated them. Had the brushing and tendon both were fine.
Bought them as a cheap option for the big eventer. Used them once. Sold them. Quite clunky and the tendon guards rigid. Much better options out there

Yes my Le Mieux boots were the mesh sort. Wouldn't buy again. Are your Air Motion brushing boots made by Arma?

Yes, they are. My one set is finally starting to look a bit worn after 2 or so years now and a few trips into the washing machine. I like them so much that I have a spare set ready for when these finally die ?
