Amigo Fly Boots

I was skeptical these boots would even stay on my active, playful mare who is turned out 24/7 in a well maintained pasture, but to my delight, they have been more durable than I expected. These mesh fabric boots are featherweight and breathe well, and not once have I seen my mare’s legs sweaty or irritated by them even in the past couple of weeks with temps in the mid-90s and high humidity. These wash up well and are easy to clean. The fleece around the boot’s edges is not especially plush, but it does help prevent chafing. I got the cob size for my 15.1ish thoroughbred (who has had bad reactions to bug bites as well as several kinds of fly spray) and they fit like a glove. Overall, these are a great value for boots that fit well and do a great job of protecting sensitive legs against fly and tick bites.

Didn’t last long. Splint came they material and could no longer safely use them after daily wear of about 3 weeks.

Quality product.

My horse is a 16.3hh TB, so he has some pretty long legs! I love that these boots are longer to accommodate! He is also super sensitive to flies and tends to stomp really he's. With these boots, there is significantly less stomping! (#savethehooves) They are relatively easy to clean and don't seem to cause any discomfort. He has been wearing them 3 weeks now, and no signs of deteriorating. Can't beat the price either!

They stay in place better than any others we've used. I have them for all of my horses.

Velcro straps came off front boots within two days. Plastic piece came out of one rear boot also!

I got this product in Navy/Silver and was quite pleased. the colors are more rich than in the pictures! i have a 15.3 QH that is built like a athletic sport horse/TB, very fine boned. they are a little loose on her out of the package, and sort of stretch over time. They slip down, especially in wet conditions. if you have a horse under 15.3, I'd heavily recommend getting cob sized, because even if they are a little tight, they will stretch and slip over time. plus, you can always return if it does not work out. one thing that is good about this product is durability. they look like new once you clean them and so far are holding up well. the material they are made of is very nice and breathable, even in the hottest conditions, no sweat, and nice spongy material. The best way to clean out mud and stained spots.: Soak boots in hot water for 15 min. then squeeze out. apply shout stain-lifter abundantly, then let sit for 30 min. rise out and enjoy your boots looking like new.air dry.

I like the soft but sturdy material and also the height of the boots. The Velcro is a bit of an overkill and somewhat hard to open.

Very comfortable for Espirita to wear but a fleece is worn through at the bottom of the support on 1 boot in less than a month. They May last a month without repair or replacement, but I don't think they'll last you a season.

I have bought these fly boots in the past (several years ago) and loved them! They were the only boots my pasture puff couldn't destroy. When my new show horse started getting scabs on his stockings from flies and the sun I decided to go back to my brand of choice, Amigo. Very disappointed this time around! The fit has always been loose on these but the Velcro is not nearly as strong as it used to be and they now seem to be made of a different softer, less durable fabric. The first day he lost one completely. One week in a strap came off of a different boot but I was able to locate the piece and sew it back on. Day after that another strap had completely disappeared. Two days later he came up wearing no boots. Please note that these boots were not "used and abused". The were taken off and checked every night, repaired if necessary, and put back on in the morning. I will be finding another favorite brand!

These work nicely, I appreciate the metal supports that help them keep shape. They were a little big and occasionally moved, which caused the supports to lose shape somewhat. I previously bought a cheaper pair that were I've size fits some and speed using them because they were way too large. These are great, but i might try a smaller size next time for my mare's dainty legs.

These fly boots are the best ones Ive found. They stay in place and they last. I had a set last year that are now my back up set. I decided to get the cob size for my 15.1 hand Grey TB mare... the horse size is a bit large on her.. the cob size could be a tad longer /taller but they fit the circumference of her leg GREAT. Having these have made a huge difference in the quality of her feet- no more stomping flies!I love Amigo products.. their shipping boots are my favorites also.

I love these fly protectors for my horse's legs. He likes them, too. They stay on, and they did not rub.

These are much better than I expected. Nice material and really good velcro closures. Seem to twist on the horses. One is 1200 lbs and the other is 1000 lbs. These are really nice and the horses don't mind them at all once they got used to them. The horse flies definitely can't bite through these. I got them to see if the horses would stop stomping to save their hooves and it is working. We don't have a fly problem, but the horse flies are mean this time of year.

Never slide down and I LOVE the Velcro straps on them.

I bought this brand specifically because I have had such great success with their fly masks. But ended up returning these after a few weeks because they wouldn't stay up. I was constantly have to reposition/pull up. Needs more Velcro for adjustments, maybe stiffer seams would help keep them up? I am going to continue my search...

I like that these fly boots are tall. I have a Tennessee Walking Horse, 16.2 hands and they fit well and clean off easily. Seem to be durable. The velcro sticks very well. My only issue is I wish the material was a bit lighter so air could get through. His legs seem to be sweating.

We have a donkey who is allergic to flies. Tried other brands. These are amazing. Fit great. Get the job done. Easy to wash. They hold on really well . A+++ product

I bought these based upon other user reviews, and though initially pleased, have found issues with continous use. The velcro is very tight, and the boots can rub the leg causing sores, so watch out and check your horse frequently. Though the front boots seem to have a snug fit, the rear boots are loose and slide down, reducing effectiveness and making my horses uncomfortable. Given that this season will be a challenge with flies, I'm looking at other options.

They run small but I read that in another review. My 13.1 hh pony fits easily into the pony size and my 15 hh horse the cob size are just a touch big. My sensitive horse does not mind them and they seem to be taking a beating well. Look like they could be hot as they are not just fly mask material but my girls have not had a problem sweating at all under them. Overall I would buy these again.

I have bought every fly boot out there, including custom, made to measure. These Amigo fly boots are soft contoured to stay up and in place. My donkey has to wear fly boots 24/7 during the fly season so the soft breathable material is important.Thanks Amigo, I have finally found the fly boot for my girl.

They fit well, stretchy so not too tight. They have snagged though so I'm not sure how they will hold up for 24/7 turnout.

I accidently bought COB and HORSE would have been better. The QH has skinny legs and they didn't suit her size wise. The Appaloosa has bigger bone so COB was OK for her. The back ones slid down consistently on both of my horses. they also seem to twist. Have to get them tight. The Velcro is STRONG.The fabric was comfortable for both horses, no sweating under them and not apparent rub marks.

These feel very nice but don't stay on as well as others I've had. Maybe my horse's legs are too skinny to get them tight enough.....

I purchased Amigo fly boots hoping to find a product they would work for my senior (32) horse as well as my 9 year old red roan tank of a horse who stomps at flies so much that his feet were affected. The boots fit comfortably on both horses, they can both graze quietly, with no fly stomping, because of the fabric and boot design, my horses don't have sores.

I have tried 5 different brands of fly boots with no luck they all rubbed my horses legs even when I took them on and off a lotand washed themThese boots were an amazing fit and never rubbed her! She loves them! They stay in place and you can throw in washer no problem!Love them! This is my 2nd pair

I love the way they are shaped to fit. They run very tall, but found the width to be too large for a normal horse's leg. In order to get them to fit snuggly enough to keep the flies out, there is not enough velcro to hook to. The overlap of the wrap then stuck way out to the side, as excess with no velcro to hook to. The stitching where the velcro is attached started to ravel after one wk of wearing, even though I removed them at night. The mesh material itself showed signs of wear after only 2 wks. The horse that wore these is almost 30 yrs. old and does not mover around much. I returned these boots after just 3 wks.

Great boots! Love the fit, taller than most boots which is nice. They don't fall down, twist or come off. Nice soft material, doesn't trap heat and no bugs can bite through, plus the Velcro closure wraps slightly so no openings for smarter bugs! Horse looks flashy wearing them. Won't ever go back to one boot fits any leg again!!

These boots fit snug to the horses legs and has reinforcement in the back to keep them from slouching. They have a foamy padding that keeps the boots from rubbing on legs without overheating the leg and making it sweat. They are very durable and stay on even when my horse goes into "racehorse mode" and runs in the pasture.
