I’m interested in the Veredus Vento tendon/open front boots and the fetlock boots, but I’d to hear from others, especially regarding how they hold up to heavy use.
I’m also open to other suggestions- I want something that looks nice enough to show in, but easy to just hose off and durable enough for daily use.
Veredus Carbon Gel boots: have stood up well to three years of steady use. Elastic and fasteners are in very good condition. A few surface scratches, but that is expected. Easy to clean!. For show purposed come out gleaming and look new when swiped with a little wax. I am coveting the new Grand Slam version.
Thanks Paintedpony! That’s what I wanted to know 
I have a couple of sets- one are my old show boots that I repurposed for daily use, and then I have a newer set for showing. They are my favorites, and like paintedpony says, they wear really well. The older ones wash up in the machine and come out looking almost new, and the truth is that I got a new set simply because I’m a sucker for boots and they had a newer model out in the Ventos. I have one other set in an older model that is at least six or seven years old and the liners are only just now starting to fray on the edges- otherwise they look great. They don’t heat up the legs and provide good protection to my big-jumping guy.
I have the Veredus Carbon Vento boots (these - https://www.divoza.com/english/veredus-carbon-vento-tendon-boots) for showing and love them. Of course, they have a few surface scuffs, etc, but they clean up well (I throw them in the washing machine after a show). Easy to throw on, fit well, and my clumsy horse hasn’t managed to destroy them yet, even though he steps on himself constantly. Can’t speak to how they hold up for daily use, but they are definitely a quality boot. I like them so much more than any Equifit boot I’ve ever had.
Thanks for the input!
