So Angwin called up the Gates Rubber Co. in Scotland, maker of the chic Wellies, which designed a buckled, foot-high Hobble Boot with a sole in the shape of a hoof. Angwin has ordered 500 boots at $24 each, and estimates he will save roughly $1,800 a year on veterinary bills and lost milk production. His enthusiasm for the bovine booties is so keen that he has sold over...
