Q How can I customize the EasyShoe Speed?

A There are many ways the shoe can be customized for each horse. To increase heel flexibility, cut the small bridge between the keyhole design. To create an open frog shoe, you can cut out the entire frog support. This also allows you to shape the shoe (Metal and Metal Trac versions). Cut the cuffs off to nail the shoe. Leave the cuffs to glue the shoe.
