======================
<stepping in blindly to this discussion> I'm not sure who wrote the original
post but wanted to respond to this one part..
They are a pain - *at first*. However, now that I am a veteran of 5 times
<g> using them they are no problem....I can take those puppies on and off in
no time (this is a naked boot - have not used the foam yet) - even did it in
the middle of a conditioning ride recently as I had put one on and then
realized later is was kinda crooked. To get them on all you need (after
making sure they are fitte/cut down properly) is a strap or something to
loop under the heel strap and a few arm muscles. To get them off, you can
use a flatblade screwdriver or even a hoofpick - pop one side then other and
then work them off like you might a ......a paint can lid I guess :-)
They are about as straightforward as you can get for an option with some
flexibility I think...equithotics are another good choice but they are put
on like shoes so are on no matter the terrain till the next shoeing :-)
Give the eboots a chance if you haven't and don't give up after the first
session :-))
