[endurance] speaking of easy boots

Just wondering - what size easy boots do most of your horses take?

My horse Weaver wears a size 2 on his front feet, people even call him
'bigfoot'. Is this good or bad, or does it matter? His back feet fit in
one size smaller, and then my other horse wears an 0 (or is it 00?). Another
question: is it common for a horse to wear a different size easy boot in
front than in back, and if so do you all carry two easy boots, or just carry
one in the larger size?

At the last ride I had the easy boots on the front feet, and had wrapped the
hoof/heel around once with vetwrap. One person looked and said "oh how
cute, that horse has socks on".

Thanks for the info,
