the side screws seen don't hold period. I tightened them before the ride, in less than 5 miles gone. I used the blue screw lock stuff and kept one intact for a trial 5 m ride. No rubbing, horse seemed comfortable. I then tried a renegade boot on one front and a glove on the other. much more slipping with the glove foot on ice, mud, and pavement. I am going back to the renegade.

I'd recommend these boots. Have not had any trouble with them falling apart or falling off, just make sure you get the right size. It's easier always to fit the horse right after a trim. if your horse is coming due, you may want to wait because you may get a different fit.
Only thing is...come on...they really need to start selling them in PAIRS and for a nicer price.
they do seem to last a long time, though. And are great for the transition for 1st time barefooters.

We've used several types of boot products for our non-shod horses. The glove is by far the best for the money. They are ultra easy to put on, provided that one has measured the hoof for the correct size and keeps the hoof properly shaped. We normally only use them on rocky trails and only on the front unless we're in very rocky ground. The first pair I bought are just now starting to deteriorate after a year and some 180 miles of riding (not including soft trails), so I just ordered another pair. Far more cost effective than shoeing. State Line has pretty good prices and shipping is not outrageous compared to other online sites. The only drawback is that the glove model is not made for round hooves or for mules. Hopefully that will be addressed.

I have used the Gloves on my horse for 4 months of trail riding. After about 6 hours on the trail the screws loosen and start coming out. The Velcro strap is too thin and rips. I also have to over lap it to fit my very average sized QTR Horse. So I am constantly hot glue gunning the straps back on and putting thread locker on the screws so they don't undo themselves. They also do not stay on his back hooves even though they fit perfectly. The hoof has to be oval shaped, not triangular like back hooves often are. They are way easier to put on than boa-boots however.

my Thoroughbred mare is barefoot, lives on a soft pasture, but our trails are rocky. So, she needs protection. The GLOVE is just GREAT, does not fall off (well, only if you RACE steep uphill for some time it comes off now and then, but it happens very seldom). EASY to put on/ take off, even with Mrs. high-energy, can-not-stand-still Thoroughbred. We just "killed" one boot - after 3 years of intense use, and ordered a replacement. And, get the strip (official site or valley vet), it helps a lot!
Horse is HAPPY, I am HAPPY
