[RC] Easy Walker shoes - Pvan19

 
I tested these a couple of years ago and found them to be disappointing - don't last very long on hard surfaces, they are slippery on hard surfaces, wet grass, leaves etc. and the lack of rigidity means they are not very supportive, picking out feet is a pain with the half closed system and tendency for small rocks to get stuck underneath - would rather have either completely open or completely closed shoe. They also look awful (although I suppose if bright yellow and green are your fave riding colours...)
 
We have friends who have used them with some success on jumping horses, but they only ride in sand arenas so less wear of shoes
 
Like Mustad Nail Shus much better  - except on wet grass etc. where they are also v v slippery, if you ride on this kind of surface better use tungstène inserts ( broke my leg when horse slipped on wet leaves & fell on top of me) These shoes are quite thick which meant I could forego pads as sole well protected.  They are more resistant to wear - my horses loved them, they were flying!
 
But after accident I'm back to St Croix steel shoes & tungstene inserts for competition
 
Not sure what you mean by 'ability to be reset'?

Does anyone have any good or bad experiences with these.  Do they last =
on rocky/hard surface riding?  Are they really able to be reset?  How =
does your horse like them.  Thank you in advance
