They usually have two seams at the bottom that make a little cup. Take that in your hand and put it over your horse's fetlock. Secure the bottom strap, then grab the top (with the velcro loops, not the hooks) and pull it into the right position (vertical) as you secure the rest of the straps up the boot. My sport boots are cheap and don't hold shape so I have to make sure they are tight and fitting the right way. If your boots hold shape (like SMBs or whatever), just wrap the boot around the leg (the fetlock should fit snugly into the cup) and secure it from the bottom up.

After I have it all done up I tug them down a little to make sure all the hair is flat and they are fitting the right way. Be sure you have the velcro straps facing the outside, not facing eachother.

Basically make sure that the material is flat and not wrinkled or folded and that the boot is tight enough to not slip off but not so tight that it hinders movement or cuts off circulation.
