A solid structure, multi-stratum, hoof shaped structure to cover substantially the entire underside of a hoof. The shoe has a convex bottom to allow center loading of the hoof during a broader range of movement than with typical equine shoes. Various configurations provide filler material between the shoe and the hoof, which may be applied before the shoe is attached, or the shoe may have at least one relatively small port to allow insertion of filler material after the shoe is attached.
