Imprint shoes - how much?

[1alex1moose]

Like the sound of Imprint shoes and I was wondering how much they are for a set?? I'm guessing I probably don't want to know!!

I think they are about £200 a set but your farrier will have to know how to fit them and i think they outlast normal shoes about 2 times, would be interested to hear from some one who has used them as i think they look great!!!

we charge £120 per pair including fitting .
They work really well on hooves which cant be nailed onto.
we have used mainly imprint first for laminitcs .
Now they have a sports shoe which looks good as studs can also be fitted to them and supposedly give as much wear as a steel shoe..No idea of the cost of these

The actual imprint sport shoes cost approximately £40 a pair to buy, however there is specialist equipment that needs to be bought to apply the shoes (starter pack approximately £100) plus additional fitting time.

Have you considered the Epona shoes, I use them on my Warmblood who has DJD in both hocks and they are fantastic, amazing grip, wonderful flexibility and you can get them with carbide tips for even more extra grip. The difference they made to my horse was astounding.

Have a look at http://www.eponashoe.com/

There is a lady called Sally Bell who is based just outside Bristol who is the main contact in the UK for them, she uses them for her eventer and can tell you all about them,

why exactly do you want them? is there a reason?

They are primarily hospital shoes.

There are alot more glue ons on the market which may be more suitable.
