ok so, besides hardcore traditionalists who always want to do things the traditional way. What is it in a machine made nail you can not...
Pat, are you suggesting Blacksmiths made nails specific to a foot just like we may make a specific shoe for a foot?
How are those milled files at hot rasping?
After 4 different people worked on this horse I wasn't under the impression it was laminitic.Very little range of motion in the joint suggests...
If you're having problems with your shoes staying on because your nails don't fit you might need to try them. Gas prices being as high as they...
Kim, you should use a toe clip at some point. The easiest thing to do when fitting a shoe is cut the toe quarters. You can see it when using a toe...
Can you show me a pic of a shoe with a V crease that would fit an E head or a crease with a straight outside and v'd inside? Nordic shoes stay...
