ACR - 335 Wedge Balance
€78.75 Tax excl
€94.50 Tax incl
The ACR WEDGE BALANCE lets you change and adjust the palmar angle, thanks to its 3° wedge combined with an appropriate trim. Its slight rockering, which shifts the breakover point back towards the foot's centre of pressure, unloads the deep digital flexor tendon at the stance and in motion, especially on hard or compact ground. This shoe is eminently well suited for horses that show discomfort upon DIP joint extension. Its wide web provides good sole protection. This shoe is designed for the easy addition of bevelling or seating out the toe in order to dynamise breakover.
Shipped on the same day if ordered before 11:30 AM, or the next day if after.
