Looking at the winning contest shoes pgs. 24 and 25 of the May/Jun issue. Does anyone else see a problem with the placement of the toe nail holes in the creases of those shoes that are creased/fullered? Especially the heartbar!

Due to the direct e-mail I received I think I should clarify my question. When the toenail is against the leading edge of the crease it makes pulling that nail with crease nail pullers more difficult. Sore footed horses appreciate not having the shoe yanked off with pull offs. I also DID NOT say they were not nice shoes!
