An open rope shoe. Fiber Shoes.—These have a groove on the ground surface into which layers of linen fiber belting have been tightly pressed. The fiber cannot be removed, and therefore the shoes cannot be heated, but must be fitted cold. The nail-holes are placed between the fiber and the outer border of the shoe, and are punched too light. The bearing surface of the shoe is unsupported, so that when the shoe is half worn out, it warps. There is no distinction between rights and lefts. Rubber shoes have all the defects of fiber shoes, and one more. The hoof surface is covered with canvas, which under normal and acute-angled hoofs wears through under the quaiters and leads to loosening of the last nails.
