Question: Shoeing FAQ - What are the alternatives to shoeing?
Answer: The most common alternative to shoes are products like Easy Boots (Buy it Now) or Boa Boots. These boots can be taken off after you’re done riding. They take a bit of fussing to fit, and can come off during a ride, but many people find them an economical alternative to shoes. Some products claim to coat and protect the hoof making shoes unnecessary.
