The Roma Open Front boots are a great pair of boots for schooling or competing. They have lasted me a long time and still look great. For their price I they are one of the best buys for open fronts. They also still look good and professional to show in. They dont have fleece or anything super soft but def work (and then you can just hose them off!)

Pros: Hold up well and inexpensive

Cons: No Fleece

I am a big advocate of putting galloping boots on my horse. Whether or not they are open front is neither here nor there. The important thing is to provide stability to the splints (especially for ex-races turned jumpers) and to protect the fetlock from clipping (especially if your horse wears hind shoes.

Pros: Protects the fetlock, supports splints

Cons: can be restrictive

i've found that boot lifetime is a matter of how hard/much you use them. these have been great.

Pros: all

Cons: none

Definitely not my favorite kind of boots. I think I've used them once and would never go back.

Pros: Easy to clean

Cons: Not my favorite

Beautiful product, but not worth the money because of the brutal service.

Pros: A good boot

Cons: customer service
