Hi,
Do you cut your Easy Boots down in the back around the heel? Some people do it because they feel the top edge rubs the back of the pastern. Also, I've always heard to buy the same size as the shoe size. Is that correct?

Thanks.

For years now Easy Boots come with a much lower heel compared to the past. If your boot covers the heel you have a old model and yes you can cut it down a bit.

Susan - it is my understanding that Easyboot is coming out with an updated version in June sometime? They have just come out with the Boa boot. Have you visited their website? You might want to enquire when the new boot is coming out. I myself went with Old Mac's as I don't like the metal piece inside the easyboots digging into the wall of the hoof. If you do a search on Old Mac's you may find our other discussions.
Good luck
