Can I point out that I never suggested people put shoes or boots on to mask a problem. I was replying to @Huggy where I suggested it to prevent further problems with what sounds like soft soles. Boots or shoes in this case could prevent further issues.
There is no one size fits all when dealing with something that's for sure.
Where we were before I had access to miles of clean country lanes. We never had any issues with her hooves.
Here the roads are awful in terms of lots of loose stones, flint and gravel. (not too mention pot holes and broken up bits of road)
We will likely be staying in boots to protect her from that since we don't know what the rest of the sole/hoof will grow like.
