Nonsense! Bring back the love of running track products, but you need the best athletic shoes design! Maybe for a rider who rides once a month! Our horse trained four days a week for 2 months! The Boyd Martin tire boots I replaced lasted four years! The Velcro straps on the Back On Track boots started falling apart after two weeks. No internal reinforcement on the inside if the horse pinches! The price is high for the money, not worth it!
