We’re headed to Tuolumne Meadows (Yosemite
high country) in a few weeks ((I know… lucky us, huh?) and I know there’s
a lot of cap rock (slick granite) up there. I’m trying to decide
whether to go barefoot or shoe. There is a good amount of ‘normal’
rock too so I’m leaning toward shoes. My shoer suggested borium
(??) nails. She said she’d only put in 4/foot and that would stop
slipping. I’m not familiar with these nails but have heard they’re
not recommended for endurance because they’re too ‘grippy’.
So what about using them for trail riding. I don’t anticipate
moving very fast up there with the rock and my horses being all chubby and out
of shape. Comments? Ideas? Experiences?
Thanks for input.

trip)
