Foaming on Gloves

Well, I decided to give it a go and foam on some Gloves for a rocky 30 mile CTR ride. I had a backup pair of Epics just in case. I added the power straps to the Gloves because my mare does get a tiny little gap at the top of the boot. They seemed to fit tight and did not move when i tried to shift them so I went ahead and got them foamed on. This was without the gaiter since it was a CTR and the gaiter costs points. And I foamed them on the day before the ride, so my mare trailered in them too. The boots stayed on for at least 20 miles without a problem. Then we hit this patch of knee deep thick hoof sucking mud and I lost one boot. I put on my Epic and kept going. On the last stretch we hit another muddy section and the other boot came off. This one I didn't realize until later and do not have it back yet. I finished the ride in Epics.

So overall foaming the Gloves on works if the boots are a tight enough fit (with the Power straps for me) and you don't go through mud :)  The lack of a buckle doesn't give it the extra staying power in that kind of mud that the ones with buckles do. I foamed on other boots - Epics - for a friend and those stayed on. Now that I've tried it, it is probably best to use the Glove with the gaiter and stick to the boot models that have the buckles for foaming on. :)

Foaming on Easyboot Gloves

I was wondering if anyone has tried foaming on the Gloves? I am going to try them on my horse without the gaiters and see what the fit is like...I am thinking of trying to foam them on. If the fit is not tight enough, I have the power straps or other boot models to try... but it would be nice to know more about foaming on the gloves (since I have their foam!) :)
