Product Summary:
Professional's Choice SMB II Boots
Made from limestone-based neoprene, the Sports Medicine Boots II (SMB II®) are the longest lasting boots available on the market today. Limestone neoprene is shown to resist aging caused by exposure to the elements, such as direct sunlight, moisture, and dirt better than petroleum based neoprene.

Also, the SMB II is the only boot on the market with an antimicrobial inner-lining to prevent skin diseases, such as scratches.

SMB II's were designed to absorb a portion of the energy generated as the hoof impacts the ground. The more energy absorbed, the less energy available to deform and injure the soft tissues of the limb. SMB II's provide the highest proven levels of shock absorption, and help to prevent injuries associated with hyperextension of the fetlock.

Scientific testing at Oklahoma State University showed that the SMB II absorbs up to 45% of hoof concussion energy on some horses. Eight times more than traditional bandages!

Innovation in materials and design of the SMB II can be credited for the higher levels of shock absorption. This means your horse will experience less negative stress while training, competing and maintaining a daily routine. And, if your horse has been injured or is rehabilitating from bowed tendons or suspensory ligament pulls, wearing the SMB II's during exercise will help speed the healing process. Plus, the Sports Medicine Boots II get better with age. According to the scientific testing, actual use of the SMB II enhances its fit, function, and shock absorbing ability. SMB II's award-winning protection keeps your horse comfortable so you can concentrate on performance.

Sold in pairs.

Good but Haven't Lasted Well, 12/26/2011

Karen T from Bellaire, MI

I've been using a pair of these for a little over a year on my elderly horse who bowed a tendon. They have been great for giving him some extra support on trail rides and for arena work. But, they haven't held up very well. The stitching that holds the straps on is coming out, and the lining is separating from the outer layer. I only use them once or twice a week and expected longer wear than this. I'm ordering another pair and hope they last better.

Great for In ring riders!, 8/5/2011

Kelly from Commerce, MI

I got the royal blue color for my big grey thoroughbred and he looked great in them! only problem was i couldnt use them for cross country as they absorbed water and retained it too much and really slowed him down, so i wouldn't recommend them to someone who did eventing or went in the river on trail rides. other than that they have great support. if they're not tight enough they slip a little but that's not too bad. only other problem i had is it lets in a bit of sand from the arena but it didnt affect my horse. the stitching on the velcro eventually came undone a bit, so im ordering some more, but overall i love the sports medicine boots!!

Mixed, 6/10/2011

Guess Who?! from Lexington, Kentucky

These are great for protection, I ride an accident prone thoroughbred who was probably saved by these boots multiple times on cross country. I cant count how many time we have hit the hard jumps! But I am a very little girl and I can not get the tight enough. When we work they loosen because of the material and slip down. They can still protect then but there is no support. My fronts stay up much better, maybe because of my bellboots. But they are entirely too hard to make tight enough to stay up.

Great Boots, 4/9/2011

Horse lover from Rogue River, OR

I wasn't sure at first if they are front or back, but I got help from my 4-H leader and they work wonderful for my 5 year old mare.

Great Boots!, 2/10/2011

ericson from IL

Best thing I've ever bought for my horse! Love them, love the color, love everything... including the price! They may not be the newest thing that Professional's Choice has to offer but they are still good quality boots. You are NOT wasting your money on these.

Loved them! Mare loved them too!, 10/11/2010

Jessica A from Oregon House,CA

My mare kicks all other boots and wraps off but she doesn't even try with these. She also stands quietly for me to put them on and they prevent tons of damage on the rough trails we ride! Love them to death, will never buy any other brand ever again!!

Best thing I ever purchased, 7/21/2010

Katelyn from

I bought these boots about 7 years ago when i first began training my mare. In the beginning they where difficult to put on, but once they mold to the leg they are as easy as pie. I ride about 5 times a week and always use the boots and they still aren't worn out. I hightly recommend these.
