Walkease is a patented early-intervention hoof block repair solution for cattle. Designed for use where hooves require elevation for up to 14 days, the EVA block is soothing for cows to walk on.
Walkease is the new hoof repair block from Shoof International Ltd. Invented and developed in-house by Mr Peter Griffiths, Shoofs product development manager. Walkease has been created as an early-intervention hoof claw prosthetic. It is not intended to replace other conventional claw shoes currently on the market. The Walkease block is made from flexible EVA material, that is soothing for the cow to walk on. The greatest advantage of the Walkease is its speed and ease of application. The Starter Kit comprises 10 Walkease blocks, a tube of special Walkease glue, a Shoof hoof rasp (203624), all packed in a useful resealable plastic container. For further use extra 10-packs of blocks and extra glue are available. A practical "first-purchase" would be the mixed sizes starter kit (212102). This has blocks as follows: 3 x small, 3 x medium and 4 x large. This will allow the user to determine the preferred block size for their own herd. Walkease blocks can be used either way up, so suit both left and right claws. The block should stay on for up to 14 days, which is generally long enough for the treated claw to have made a recovery. For more seriously affected claws that have had invasive treatment, we recommend use of our other listed claw and hoof shoes. Walkease is covered by design and patent applications.
