[RC] Experiences with Plastic Shoes - Benedikte WhitmanI use GC shoes and so have been following this thread with interest. One thought I have for some problems is that I no longer tighten my cliches. When we first started putting GCs on, I would tighten the clinches when they looked like they had risen but then the nails would break inside the hoof after a while and the shoe would spin off. Since I have stopped doing that, I have not had that problem again. I think that compared to steel shoes, the clinches move around and look like they need to be retightened, but they actually get to their "happy spot" and then stay there. The reclinching seems to over stress and weaken the nail. Just my $0.05.
