What kind of leg boots do you prefer

I have the newer version of the SMB's-I think they are called Elite.....they are a bit lighter weight, so hold even less heat-LOVE them!

Those are going to be my next 'big' purchase...want to get a pink set of them

I also use SMBs.

For practice I just put on some good ol' splints, but if I'm doing heavy word I have some Legacy front boots, and I use leather skids on the back.

I have a pair of SMB elites for everyday riding and groundwork. I got them used (perfect condition though) so I don't care if they get heavily worn. For lessons, shows, or when I am out and about with my horses I have front and back legacy boots which I love also.

When I am riding english I use front and back roma boots that I bought, not the best brand in the world. But good for what I do.

I had a pair of Professionals 1st Choice, they look a lot like the SMB's, almost identical, but only cost me $35. But, the dogs chewed them up :/

Anyways, I was wondering...do the SMB's hold a lot of heat in? When I put the offbrand boots on I would take them off after a semi-hard workout and Nova's legs would be sweaty under them. Do the SMB's do the same??
