The principal purpose is to ensure that weight is evenly distributed on both the inside and outside claw, and to ensure that specially endangered areas are relieved from pressure. Functional claw corrections can often be limited to producing a slope at die caudal axial third of the sole, and by reducing the overgrown outside claw of the hind limb.
