Tough 1 Ice Boot

I bought these ice boots with the notion that they would be useful for my horses in the future. About a month later my stallion managed to kick his opposite pastern and give himself a bone bruise. I was so pleased to have an ice boot to alleviate his pain and swelling. Alas, he is opinionated and decided that the only way to respond to an ice boot on his hind leg is to try to kick it into the center of the sun.That said, I love these ice boots! I’ve used many brands on many horses and these are just as good as anything else and a very good deal. They’re insulated on the outside and that does seem to keep them cold longer and it stops them from weeping with condensation. The velcro is plenty strong and the elastic is firm but has a lot of room to stretch.The biggest thing I appreciate about these ice boots is how many ways I’ve been able to use them on myself. Big enough for a back, can compress an ankle, still fits around a knee. You don’t need horses to want these around.

I bought this for my horse who had swollen legs for no apparent reason (turned out to be allergies). I was cold hosing and this was supplementing that treatment. I found it worked better over a cold water bandage and a wet leg on my horse.However, I found an alternate use for this that I was thrilled with. During the time I was treating my own horse, I was unfortunately in the path of someone else's horse that they were selling. I got knocked down and my leg suffered a nasty laceration and bruising from mid foot to knee. While I was hosing my horse's leg, on a whim, I decided to wrap my own leg with this and it was just the best ice treatment ever! No wrapping an ice pack on and fruitlessly trying to hold it with ace bandages. This thing, with its strong velcro straps, stayed right where I put it. I could ice my leg and walk at the same time. I'll never be without one of these ice boots in my freezer, ready to treat my horse or myself.

I purchased these wraps to help my 31 year-old quarter horse feel more comfortable, as he has arthritis in both knees. The wraps get really cold when placed in the freezer, and they are pretty easy to place on the legs. After 20 minutes of wearing the wraps, the knees and lower legs are ice cold when the wraps are removed. So far, I really like these wraps. I have not had them long enough to comment on durability or how long they will last.

This ice boot is GREAT!!!!Definitely beats cold hosing!The boot gets very cold in the freezer, I wrap this around my mare’s arthritic knee for 15-20 minutes and her arthritic limping improves after using this ice pack every time.I love it so much that I may purchase a second one!! It has truly made such a HUGE DIFFERENCE in my mares arthritis.

Took a chance on purchasing a used discounted priced one of these and I am quite happy I did. It so far seems made to be pretty durable. Freezes up nicely, remains to be flexible once frozen so wrapping around horse's leg is easy. The 4 straps keep it snug in place and stays cool/frozen for the 10-15 minutes that I have needed to use it.

They are awesome for anything from the knee to the lower leg/hoof area that needs to be iced! I have them on one of my horses right now! The velcro and the stretch on the ice wraps are strong and durable. They don’t take up too much space in the freezer and both the horse and pony that I’ve used them on haven’t minded them a bit! They are easy to put on and take off, I highly recommend these to everyone who has horses!

This product exceeded my expectations as far as how long they would last. I purposefully waited to review before using them (they come 1 to a pack, I bought 2) for at least 6 months, and I have to say, this product is very well made and efficient for the comparatively low price. I use them at least 4 times a week, freezing them overnight, taking them out, using them on my mare's troublesome front legs for approximately 1-1.5 hours (they're pretty melted by the time I take them off), take them back home and stick them in the freezer for the next day's use. Overall they're easy to use and low maintenance, and they've survived without puncture or damage so far. Would recommend!

Only a couple of ice pods freeze. And the ones that do not stay frozen long enough.
