I've got some, they are very nice. I use the to do BE stuff so it's quite hard & fast work, I don't bother putting them for schooling & the playing about.
i have a set i am about to put a large set of four on ebay if you want them, they work and his legs were less sweaty than the old neoprene ones ...but they rub. They aren't very flexible and there isn't any padding around the edges on the top/bottom.
I would say that it is a great idea but they haven't been properly thought out. They would probably be fine if you only used them for competing in or on a horse with skin like a rhino.
Thanks for the information, as i have a wimpy thorougbred, with opposite skin to rhino skin, so have left it for now, will reconsider when they re think about the boots
