    • 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.
