Best Shoes for the Job:
Kerckhaert Full Swedge Hind

This is probably the second most widely used shoe in the market. It is used on the back of Trotters and Pacers. Extra width on the lateral heel is very beneficial when dealing with bind end soreness. The lateral heel can be fit more full in order to help maintain hoof balance and lower limb support.
