When cobbler Stuart Moss got a call about making a shoe for a camel, he thought it was a prank call. Timujin is a 27-year-old Bactrian camel who lives at the Earl of Chicester’s estate, Little Durnford Manor in Salisbury, UK. He had stretched tendons on his two front feet and was struggling to walk. Moss made Timujin's new boots out of high-grade box calf leather, along with surgical memory foam to give comfort on his pads and the tendons at the back of his feet. He also stitched on a custom-made rubber sole for grip. "Since walking freely in his new shoes, everything has improved," said Lady Chichester. "The exercise is doing him so much good as he enthusiastically joins the other three camels for his daily walk."
