I don't like pads becasue the sole can take a beating with pads - 
especially if the conditions are wet. That's one of the reasons I went 
to equithane instead of pads. The sole is quite healty when it is 
removed. My farrier feels that even with it in there is still sole 
pressue and circulation that you don't get in pads. I've never taken any 
out to find any problems with the sole. You sure can't say that about 
pads. All in all, I've been quite please with it.
