It's really not too much trouble to put on a boot with the lysol/water solution and leave it on while you do other things.  It's cheap and not that much labor involved.  Either way that you can get rid of infection... or even use both methods.

Well, for us its not too much trouble.  However we have found that some of our clients for many reasons have a difficult time soaking feet.  We have 2 Lippanzanners that have thrush as one of our clients.  The owner just is unable to get the young ones feet in a soak.  She also purchased these soaking boots and the mare just won't do it.  Of course Sally can get the mare to do it, however a soak every 6 weeks just is not going to cut it.
 
Some clients do not even live with their horses and need an alternative to daily soakings.  The E3Live can go right into their daily feed that the barn staff can do.
 
Some of our clients just find that their lives are just too busy for whatever reason and are unable to do soaks daily. 
 
This is an alternative that Works without the dreaded soaking that over the years we have found many people just unable to do.
 
Its great to have choices that fit everyones lifestyle and needs.
