A high-performance steel shoe from France specifically geared towards the needs of performance horses. Easy to shape, and loved by horses and farriers alike.
6 Concepts of the Parabolic Sport Shoe:
SOLE PROTECTION:
- Toe with wide cover (25 mm) to protect the front part of the foot and balance sinking into soft grounds between toe and heels.
- Quarters with thinned branches (20 mm) to facilitate the foot's lateral sinking in turns (reduce stresses on collateral ligaments), improve grip and reduce weight (15% lighter than a basic shoe section 22 x 10 mm).
ERGONOMIC HEEL SUPPORT:
- Heels with wide cover (25 mm) for better load distribution and avoids the heels sinking into soft ground (reduce stresses on deep digital flexor tendon and on podotrochlear apparatus).
- Ergonomic design to respect the frog's morphology.
MULTI-DIRECTIONAL ANGLE:
- Toenail holes with multi-directional angles. Easy driving of the nail even if the shoe is set back from the toe or forged with a square toe.
FULL ROLLING:
- Totally beveled outer rim. Facilitates breaking over and reduces stresses during the propulsion phase in a straight line as in turn.
FLEX SYSTEM:
- Improves the lateral elasticity of the shoe to facilitate the hoof's natural movements.
- 2.5 times more lateral elasticity than a basic shoe (section 22 x 10 mm).
