I can't quite remember the name, either, but they were Italian-made.

Hmmm...now I'm having a brain fart-I remember one shoe that "required" the metal shoes to help keep them on, but I'm darned if I can think of which it was-sorry 'bout that, ya'll!

Boa Boots are designed for barefoot too. We  compete in 50's with them.  Just take them off at the lunch stop and check them and clean them. They do well in everything but sand.

Not sure, but I think she meant, why not put the easyboots on over bare feet-they're not like the Boa boots (designed only for "overshoe" use.

   Ooooh that is a loaded question :^).  If my horses lived in pasture year
   around, they could probably stay barefoot, but since they don't, it's
   easier to keep shoes on them than it is to fight their unnatural living
   conditions at home.  Chief could probably pull off going barefoot and
   competing to a certain degree.  My older horses couldn't, as we have tried
   and one will grow pancakes and the other would probably end up with an
   injury from the club foot/low heel issues he has.  I don't need to go so
   far as to make my horse lame trying to prove that he can go barefoot when I
   am competing on them so much, I have seen too many hurt horses over the
   years from people who have tried it and failed and don't compete as much as
   I do, and I do a lot of rides that are really really rocky.  Gawd I hope
   this doesn't start people arguing over barefeet!!!!!!
