Walter gets cleats

You know those athletic shoes with cleats on them? Walter got
something like that today.

The farrier I finally found said Walter's shoes were barely worn.
(Walter got injured less than a week after he was last shod, so not
surprising.) So he pulled the shoes, did a little trim, then welded 3
pieces of drilltek on each shoe. Drilltek is a diamond-hard metal
alloy of some kind. It will give Walter traction on hard surfaces like
paved roads.

Then the shoes were reset on mule feet. Walter got the rest of the day off.
