Changing from nailed shoes to a barefoot method by use of the Boot will take some patience. The hoof needs a minimum of 1 year to adjust and adopt. At the end the form of the hoof will be slightly changed. During the transitional periode you should give proper treatment ; removal of cuts and loose horn segment etc.
