Hi Karen,

I never considered interference, but if a horse is close to start with - 
it sure could happen. I have used EZ boots them a few times and my 
experience is they work best as "spare tires" in an emergency.  I, 
however, have used the Bosana boots when I didn't want to pad and they 
seem to work fine - at least with my horse - for that.
