how they work on a horse with hooves that more resemble a mules hoof
than a horses hoof?
My gelding was born with club feet on both front hooves. He had surgery
to correct this, and is doing very well, but now has very straight, no
flair, hooves. Definitely reminds me of a mules hoof. I am pretty sure
an Easyboot will have trouble staying on, but what about these new Boa
Boots? <<

I can't answer the question about Boa Boots, not having tried them, but
I can say that you will probably have less trouble getting Easy Boots to
stay on your horse's muley feet if these feet also have a "more upright
heel."  Since this is one of the things that Garrett Ford told me is a
hoof shape that holds Easy Boots best and since it was NOT the shape of
the feet that my horse had when I stopped by his place on the way to
Renegade where he showed me how to put them on, foam and all (and no, I
don't work for EasyBoot or Garrett Ford, he's just a really helpful guy
:)).

So you may want to try EasyBoots before you discount them.
