Re: [RC] [RC] hoof boot comparisons/update - terry banister

See folks, everyone had different experieinces. And different boots may work for you. But the main point I am excited about is that there ARE BOOTS now that work for barefoot endurance, when there never really was in years past. And they are improving all the time!

So LET'S GO, OLD MAC PEOPLE - sign up for a 100 miler and give everyone a report on how they do!
I am going to give the Epics the 100-mile test next month on my first 100.
