It sounds like the boot wasn't cut down far enough in the back. 
Basically, the entire rear of the boot should be cut off, all the way 
down almost to the sole.  Many people also cut the strap about in half 
(vertically) to make sure it doesn't rub against the tender heel bulbs. 
  The metal prongs on the sides of the boot should also be bent flat so 
they don't dig into the sides of the hoof.  There is more to it than 
that which experts in EZ boot use will add to what I've said, I'm sure.
