<h2 data-start="1768" data-end="1793">2. How the Store Works</h2>
<h3 data-start="1795" data-end="1822">For Pre-Designed Shoes:</h3>

<p data-start="1916" data-end="1953">Your shoes are produced and shipped</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p data-start="1955" data-end="1990">No design consultation is required.</p>
<h3 data-start="1997" data-end="2018">For Custom Shoes:</h3>
<ol data-start="2019" data-end="2221">

<p data-start="2223" data-end="2280">Once your custom design is complete, reorders are simple.</p>
<h2 data-start="2287" data-end="2313">3. Pricing Transparency</h2>
<p data-start="2315" data-end="2336">Our pricing reflects:</p>
<ul data-start="2338" data-end="2458">
<li data-start="2338" data-end="2358">
<p data-start="2340" data-end="2358">Engineering time</p>

<p data-start="2525" data-end="2589">Replacement shoes are offered at reduced cost, but are not free.</p>
<h2 data-start="2596" data-end="2636">4. Farrier Application Responsibility</h2>
<p data-start="2638" data-end="2714">Adhesive application is handled by the farrier.  Shoe retention depends on:</p>
<ul data-start="2716" data-end="2817">
<li data-start="2716" data-end="2738">
<p data-start="2718" data-end="2738">Adhesive freshness</p>

<p data-start="2801" data-end="2817">Horse activity</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="2819" data-end="2927">Because we do not control the application process, we cannot warranty against shoes being thrown during use.</p>
<h2 data-start="2934" data-end="2966">5. What Nu Uz Is (And Is Not)</h2>
<p data-start="2968" data-end="2977">Nu Uz is:</p>
<ul data-start="2979" data-end="3130">

</li>
</ul>
<h2 data-start="3253" data-end="3278">6. Need Help Choosing?</h2>
<p data-start="3280" data-end="3446">If you’re unsure whether your horse needs a <strong data-start="3324" data-end="3334">custom</strong> or <strong data-start="3338" data-end="3354">pre-designed</strong> shoe, feel free to ask in the forum.   Photos, measurements, and context help us guide you.</p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<strong>Why Replacement Shoes Are Not Free (And How Our Pricing Works):</strong><br /><br />We’ve had a few questions about what happens if a horse loses or throws a shoe, so we want to clarify our policy and explain how our shoe programs are structured.<br /><br /><strong>1. Two Product Paths: Custom vs. Pre-Designed</strong><br /><br />We offer two types of shoes:<br /><br /><strong>A) Custom Therapeutic Shoes</strong><br />Designed specifically for one horse, based on:
<ul>
<li>Measurements and gait analysis</li>
<li>Hoof geometry</li>
<li>Pathology or performance needs</li>
<li>Iterative CAD refinement</li>
</ul>
<p>Farrier coordination<br /><br />These require a Design &amp; Fit Fee because they involve professional engineering time and individualized development.</p>
<p><strong>B) Pre-Designed Standard Shoes</strong><br />These are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pre-engineered designs</li>
<li>Available in common sizes and configurations</li>
<li>No custom CAD work required</li>
<li>No design fee</li>
</ul>
They are a good option for owners who want a high-quality solution without the cost of a fully custom program.<br /><br /><strong>2. Adhesive Application Is the Farrier’s Responsibility</strong><br /><br />If a shoe comes loose or is lost, this is almost always due to:<br /><br />
<ul>
<li>Adhesive condition (age, storage, mixing)</li>
<li>Application technique</li>
<li>Environmental conditions</li>
<li>Horse activity</li>
</ul>
We do not control the adhesive process, so we cannot warranty against shoes being thrown during normal use.<br /><br /><strong>3. Replacement Shoes Are Not Free</strong><br /><br />In traditional farriery, owners typically pay to replace a lost shoe.<br />The same applies here.<br /><br />Each replacement requires:<br />
<ul>
<li>Material</li>
<li>Machine time</li>
<li>Labor</li>
<li>Quality control</li>
</ul>
On a case-by-case basis, we may offer reprints at a reduced cost, but replacements are not free.<br /><br /><strong>4. Design &amp; Fit Fee (Custom Program Only)</strong><br /><br />The design and fitting process is a one-time professional service.<br />Once the geometry is finalized, additional pairs are faster and more affordable.<br /><br />This ensures we can continue offering:<br /><br />
<ul>
<li>Proper engineering time</li>
<li>High-quality materials</li>
<li>Reliable production</li>
<li>Ongoing support</li>
</ul>
Pre-designed shoes do not require a design fee.<br /><br /><strong>5. Our Goal</strong><br /><br />Our goal is not to be the cheapest option, Our goal is to provide:<br />
<ul>
<li>Thoughtfully engineered footwear</li>
<li>Therapeutic and performance solutions</li>
<li>Professional accountability</li>
<li>Long-term reliability</li>
</ul>
<em><strong>We appreciate everyone who supports that mission.</strong></em><br /><br />If you have questions about pricing, design options, or which program is right for your horse, feel free to ask, we’re happy to explain.]]></content:encoded>
