Best Use
Designed for aggressive use over varying terrain that consists of long-distance riding or other high concussion disciplines. Catered to handle high mileage (about 50-100+ miles) during a single day or over a week, these hoof boots have a low profile design and provide a secure fit to protect hooves from issues caused by increased riding time.
Best for low to mid mileage riding (<25-50 miles a week), these hoof boots are for more casual use. A great replacement if your horse loses a shoe on the trail, while traveling, or at home. An ideal option for the tender-footed horse or as extra protection during light turnout. These are not designed for aggressive or 23/7 use and should not be used in such cases.
Designed for near-constant 23/7 use to protect hooves during a variety of turnout conditions. A horse is more likely to damage or pull off a hoof boot by playing, chewing, rolling, etc., when turned out at liberty. Regularly take turnout hoof boots off for evaluation and maintenance, and allow them to air out in between uses to help prevent bacteria buildup.
These hoof boots provide the ultimate hoof comfort during medical treatments, stall rest, rehab, or trailering. Aimed to treat a variety of pathological issues to offer relief and concussion support, commonly to lame horses. Therapy hoof boots are not intended for riding or exercise and should not be used in such circumstances.
The Easyboot Fury Heart Hoof Boot offers adjustability in both length and height, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for changes that occur throughout the trim cycle. The insole features a heel counter that allows for up to 25mm of adjustable length and the heel sling allows for up to 16mm in height adjustment, ensuring you find the best fit for your horse. This heel sling is also padded for comfort and pivots backward for hassle-free on and off. Two straps across the front allow you to add extra security to the fit easily, with no extra hardware needed. The Fury Heart is lightweight, shock absorbing, and allows for quick drainage when wet. The tried-and-tested semi-aggressive tread is ideal for almost any terrain.

Comments: The adjustability is great for fit but also creates an opportunity for things to break. That having been said, I've been able to replace broken straps or lost screws fairly easily, but it's a pain when something goes wrong on the trail. I've had these about a year and overall been happy with them. I'd recommend learning how to heat fit the boots (see Pete Ramey's site, consider buying a size small and heat fitting), using the neoprene straps instead of the blue EVA ones, and getting pastern straps as these will absolutely come off in mud without them! I've had a boot come off with the pastern straps but it stayed around the leg so at least I didn't have to go hunting for a lost boot, and nothing was broken so I could just put it right back on and keep riding. Attaching pastern straps to the EVA heel straps is basically impossible, I do wish there was an option to just buy the boot with the neoprene straps rather than spending extra. Would not expect to adjust throughout the trim cycle, the tiny screws are a pain and are difficult to get clean of dirt/dust. I would not recommend for people with significant hand arthritis, especially in cold months. TLDR: overall happy with the boots in terms of fit, but there's a learning curve and they've malfunctioned/broken two or three times in the past year!

Comments: Very poor design. Screws are small and soft and strip when you try to undo them even without the lock tight. You can't drill the screws out because it quickly melts the boot around the screw. If anything goes wrong with the boot most likely you will need to purchase a whole new set of boot, gaiter and mudstrap. And you must purchase the mud straps if you live in New England with the clay type footing. Lost 2 on first ride without the mud straps. They are also rubbing the back of my horses pastern on even shorter rides. Great customer support at EasyCare but this is just a horrid design.

Comments: I really wanted these to work, however, the metal piece digs into the horses' hooves. I tried it on two different horses, fronts and rears. I bought these on a friend's recommendation. I was already an easyboot glove user. The only reviews or information I could find were the fury video series. Since the boots are too dirty to return from fitting and making adjustments with Loctite, I may try to swap the heart/gaiter with sling parts as the boots seem to be the same. I also bought a pair of the slings, I will leave a review on those as well. These boots never actually hit the trail, so I cannot say that they wouldn't hold up only that they definitely do not fit my horses despite all of the neat adjustment features. I'll add this to the sling review but I'll put it here too, because it has the same material--The blue foam on the sling gaiter did rub the hair off of my horse's hoof and tore/cracked, wish I could add a picture here.
