  • The Iron Shoe Exerciser

  • Iron Shoe ExerciserThe Iron Shoe ExerciserThe Iron Shoe exerciser was a great oldtime piece of training equipment which has roots going back pretty far into strength history.

    As you may notice by the design, it is "horse shoe" shaped -- which is meant to mimic an actual horse shoe, the bending of which was a great oldtime feat and a mark of great strength.

    The "iron Shoe" provided a method of progressive resistance in some of the positions needed for horseshoe bending and trained the body, especially the grip and forearms in a very unique manner.
