These hoof trimmers are made for the show box, trimming young kids, or just touching up the edges.
Each manufacturer seems to have its own color.

For adult goats, and negleted hooves you need a larger set of trimmers.
I prefer the Burdizzo brand foot rot shears or the Felco shears. The Burdizzo shears are available almost anywhere and are easy to sharpen. The Felco shears are expensive, but they have ergonomic handles that are easy on the hands. Replacement blades are available. They are also easy to sharpen.

For tough trimming jobs such as grown bucks, horse hoof nippers are sometimes the best choice.
