Re: [RC] Wet weather riding boots..suggestions?? - Barbara McCrary

With Vasque boots, I would look carefully at the soles.  If they have Vibram
lug soles, I would be cautious.  Lug soles have a tendency to hang up in the
stirrups, either when dismounting or when being unhorsed.

good job of keeping most of my body dry but my riding shoes were water
buckets. I'd love to get some advice from anyone who has found a good
WATERPROOF riding shoe/boot that can fit in a stirrup and also provide
arch and ankle support for those hill hikes.


I have a pair of lightweight Vasque hiking boots with Gore-Tex lining that
fit all those requirements -- good arch support (this is a real problem
for me), good ankle support, and totally waterproof.  I've walked through
many small streams in them and my feet always stay dry.  They easily and
comfortably fit into EZ Rider and Trail Tech stirrups, will just barely
fit into an English iron.  I don't know the exact model I have, they're
pretty old and probably discontinued by now anyway, but I bought them very
reasonably from Campmor (www.campmor.com) in a closeout.
