    Love it John, great job I wish I could nail some on the horses I shoe. The only pair I nailed up was competing in the nationals in New Zealand.

    How long do they last? I keep thinking of trying some but don't want to have to reshoe in 2 weeks.

    Eric they are a really good soft ground shoe. If on the roads a lot then the heels take a bashing. the calk has a good amount of well hammered metal in it and the shoe is well stepped in front of the heel to maintain the grip.

    Sounds good. Think I'll give it a try on one that doesn't do too much first to see what they say and how they last.
