Hi Maria, All new growth in the sole and frog are going to be inside, so what would be visible is an increase in the sole depth. The frog should gradually toughen up and become more substantial. It

Good evening, I was wondering how soon can changes in the hoof be seen and which structures are first affected. Hoof wall changes would be seen from the coronary band as it grows down at about 1 cm

You're welcome, Vickie. Another thought: if you aren't already doing this, powder the bottoms of his feet with an athlete's foot powder - like Gold Bond or the generic versions. That will help absorb

Thanks for the input Lavinia! I ordered the Numotizine. What a helpful poultice that will be! Can't wait to try it as I can not tell if he's draining from the bottom or if the wetness is from all the

Hi Vickie, Sounds like you're doing everything correctly at the moment. If the bars flaked off, they were ready to be reduced in size. Just be sure to reevaluate your current heel height to be sure it

Thanks Michele. I feel like a moron...why didn't I think of that??? I will have to check into it. There aren't a lot of shoe repair places left, but I'll definitely check it out. -- Deb and Scotty

I wonder if a shoe repair place could replace the velcro with a better quality. -- Michele & Mosey Feb 2019 Reno, NV, USA

I seem to recall someone posting (not sure if it was this subgroup or not?) about Easy Boot Clouds not wearing as well, and that the company was not willing to do anything about it. I am on my 5th
