I've been very happy with the Equithotics shoes (Sneakers) - they are  
a plastic shoe but not flexible, there is a thin aluminum plate  
sandwiched between two layers of plastic. They're a little thicker  
than other plastic shoes and require more effort from the farrier (a  
learning curve and additional time to pre-drill holes and possibly  
grind the shoes if there isn't a perfect fit. But - they are very  
shock absorbing, and wear down naturally at the break-over point  
which I like very much. I can always get 2 settings, sometimes 3 so  
the $50/pair cost isn't too too bad.
