Your favorite fitted fly boot is back with a new modern design! The new blue-striped pattern with four reflective hook and loop tab closures for safety is the perfect addition to this favorite boot. The heavy 1000D poly/vinyl mesh is exceptionally durable, offering 70% UV protection and maximum comfort. The soft web binding is shaped to fit the leg, protecting your horse from the top of their cannon bone to below the cornet band from stable flies and other larger biting insects. The hook and loop straps secure the fitted fly boot across the front of the leg without adding pressure on sensitive areas, and it stays up without any plastic stays, making this mesh fly boot the perfect choice for horses that like to play hard in the pasture. Comes with a set of 2 boots!
These fly boots are made from our most durable 1000D heavy poly/vinyl Dura-Mesh fabric that provides better airflow due to the open weave of the boots and 70% UV protection. The fabric offers insect protection that is best at protecting your horse from medium to large-sized flies, such as deer flies, greenheads, and horse flies.

"My mare wears back shoes only and at times we’ll clip her front foot. These fly boots looked like the answer for her out in the pasture. So far so good she isn’t showing cut places on her front foot any longer. I hope they hold up, and I’m happy to find this fly boot."
"I've been using about two months now mostly for sun shield purposes and I'm absolutely in love with the product! Fit, quality and durability are great! highly recommended if you're fighting burns around the tops of horses feet."
"Love these fly boots. The velcro holds well and have minimal rubbing. I had to switch from the shoo fly to these to eliminate the rubs marks."
"Bought these for my new horse who has allergies to flies. Put them on his front legs and didn’t last a week. He ended up ripping them off. They seem well built but I guess not enough for my guy."
"These protective boots have been an absolute god send I don’t know what I would have done without them. My horse had a summer ulcer on his heel and the flies aggravate it. Previously we had to bandage the horses legs when they get this problem, however this slows down the healing time because the wound does not dry. Plus putting bandages on takes time. These boots have allowed me to treat the ulcer and leave it without a bandage or dressing. The boots allow the wound to breath, but stop the flies getting on it. They are light and easy to put on and stay in place all the time. They are very hard wearing so the quality is excellent. Thanks to these boots my horses wound has healed fast and they have saved me many hours of having to bandage my horses legs. If your horse gets any injury or summer ulcers these boots are a MUST. I love Schneiders boots so much I bought another pair straight away. I will use these boots every Summer now as protection against the flies. Thank you Schneider!!"
"These are very durable! They are stylish and very affordable! I would definitely buy them again!"
"The biting flies are horrible this year. I have purchased three different sizes of these fly boots for three very different sized Equines. The large fit a large paint horse. They stay up and only turn a little bit. The medium are being used for a Mule very well with almost no shifting. The small size are being used on a 12 hand Hinny who has very delicate legs. They stay up well and turn a little bit. ( she tends to roll many times a day!)"
"I bought the smaller size for my quarter horse. They fit great and stay on. No more stomping!"
"Absolutely love these"
"Originally I was really worried about looking for fly boots because I was afraid my horse or his pasture mates would be rough with them. The boots are holding up well with no rips or tears and doing the job plus keeping the flys off his legs. They look fairly easy to clean and the velcro works great! I would also say the measurement chart for the boots is accurate and I am planning on ordering another pair for his hind legs. Plus I love the patrern!"
