Where can I get Porta Boots?

[squiff]

I have just Googled Porta Boots with no luck. They are the foam/Polysteyrene old fashioned boots that can be used under exercise bandages, and are ideal for cross country. Mine are wearing out and I'd love to get some more as they give excellent protection cross country. Google sent me to a post here which someone had written in 2005 with the same problem!!

Does anyone know where I can get them or are they totally extinct now that people use boots instead?

Hi, you can definitely still get them in quite a lot of places. My local saddler sells them. This place does them; http://www.horse-tack-and-equestrian-clothing.com/horse-boots-porter-boots-prod1640.html

KM Elite also does them;

Google "porter boots"!

Racing-chick, are porta boots better than fybagee? - just wondering as I am thinking of reverting to bandages for xc, my sports medicine boots don't fit closely enough.
