Nail-Holes (Fig. 109, d).—The importance of the nail-holes, as regards their character, number, distribution, depth,and diiectioih, cannot be over-estimated, because by the nailswhich are driven through them the stability of the shoe uponthe hoof should be maintained without injuring the sensitivestructures, splitting the homy wall, or immoderately interferingwith the elasticity of the foot. Each nail-hole should taperuniformly from the ground to the lioof-surface (funnel-shaped).For a medium-weight shoe six nail-holes are sufficient, whilefor all heavy shoes, especially those with toe- and heel-calks, Fig. 111.
