Another place where easyboots over the shoes will work and easyboots don't
have the "grab" of borium - but they give extra traction.  Two years ago I
did the first part of the Gold Rush, which was along a paved road, with
easyboots and removed them at the first vet check at about 15 miles.  That
worked well.
