Re: [RC] Egg bar shoes & Trail/Endurance - beckeg I use eggbars most of the time on my mare. They give great support to her legs. Dane Frasier hartily approved of my using them on her. If you use steel, they are a bit heavier than normal shoes. I use titanium. They last as long as steel, not really longer, but they are lighter weight. I use pads with them because my mare has a clubby foot and one foot needs more lift. If I were using steel, and had good feet, I probably wouldn't pad in Michigan.
I have never had a problem with them getting caught on anything. However, when I was doing the Chicken Chase one really rainy year, we went down the side of a steep hill. She slid back feet into front and caught both shoes and ripped them off. Actually, she stepped right out of them. Probably would have happened with regular shoes, too.

Normally there is not a problem with them getting caught. However, they might work loose a little quicker than regular shoes. But I haven't personally had a problem with that. I would use pads or equithane for that matter on eggbars in the same situtations I would use them on regular shoes - no more no less.
