Key benefits

Durable, Breathable, and Protective Fabric

These fly boots are made from our most durable 1000D heavy poly/vinyl Dura-Mesh fabric that provides the best 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.

Everything You Need to Know About Fly Boots

A Tapered, Cone-Shaped Design That Deters Flies

The innovative design of these fly boots utilizes shadows to deter flies from landing on your horse. They feature a tapered cone fit which creates shadows and darkness on the horse's leg, creating movement as the horse moves. This deters flies from landing on them, meaning a more comfortable horse and less stomping!

Reviews

Crumpled down to his fetlocks

"These are very big fly boots and ALL the little thin wires that held the boots up, popped right out of the bottom of the mesh, and then EVERY fly boots crumbled around his fetlocks on ALL 4 legs. The thin wire mesh just popped out of the bottom and became a little dangerous poking ant him around his hooves. Because they were on sale, I bought two sets for my other horse, and the same exact thing happened, and these horses are not rough on their flywear in their paddocks"

— Laura (1/5)

Works well!

"Bugs are really bad this spring and summer in Louisiana with this rain and heat. These boots were on sale and less than the name other similar name brand so I’m giving them a try. So far a month in, these boots are holding up and keeping the bugs of my girls legs. Really good product."

— Rebecca (5/5)

Good!

"They fit really well. they are a tad taller than some others I have tried. Shipping was just as they said it would be. The quality seems good but I’m waiting to see how they hold up. I think I’m already seeing some wear and tear and I’ve only had them about a month so I’m just not sure on that. I typically get a whole season out of other brands I have purchased."

— LISA E. (4/5)

Quality Boots, Great Air Flow, Stops Stomping

"I've been really happy with these fly boots. They fit my horse well (15. 1 H Quarter Horse), stay in place during turnout, and don't seem to rub at all. The mesh is sturdy but still lets plenty of air through, which is great in the summer heat, especially here in Florida. The biggest difference I've noticed is that my horse isn't constantly stomping at flies anymore so it helps with damage to his feet. They've held up well to everyday use and still look great after several weeks and the reflective strips make it easy to find him at night. Overall, these are a quality pair of fly boots that do exactly what they're supposed to do. I'd definitely buy them again and have recommended them to several of my friends."

— DONNA K. (5/5)

Didn’t like them ordered mediums

"Didn’t like them ordered mediums they could fit a big draft horse. I’m going to return them. First thing I’ve ever returned. I have always been happy with my purchases in the past. A pure miss this time."

— Vicki L. (5/5)

Fly boots work really well

"I like the fact they went on sale because they are not cheap. But they work. I just wish my horses wouldn't keep pulling them off each other. They take a beating. The first set I ever bought were ruined within a couple of weeks, but Schneiders sent me new ones to replace the bad ones. I have washed them also. I will keep using these and buying when they go on sale."

— JILL T. (5/5)

Not as good as shoo fly

"I thought I would save a bit of money here but these really are not as durable as shoo fly boots. They fit the same and work the same but already have holes in them. In fact, they even ripped a little when I took of the tag."

— Elizabeth S. (2/5)

I was really hopeful when

"I was really hopeful when I got these they seem to be made really well. But after a month they are falling down. I think the support pieces just need to be stiffer. I have used them for a little over a month in stall and small dirt turnout."

— Kathryn H. (5/5)

These are great!

"Love the quality and they stay upright which is wonderful. I'd suggest getting a second set to rotate through because the bottom has a fleece cover and stay saturated very easily. Otherwise, excellent purchase and I'd say on par or even better than Shoo Flys"

— Renee L. (5/5)

I was skeptical, Ive tried

"I was skeptical, Ive tried many and many have been a fail other than the “competitors” boots. We are only a month in but they are holding up well, the Velcro is still tight and they don’t sag. I also like the reflective feature, easier to see at night on the cameras or while we are camping. I’d buy again when I need to replace the others."
