> > Also how do they hold up to wet -- like tromping through a pasture to
catch a horse?  Run wide?  True to size?<<

Many of those who ride in them, had mentioned they have a wide foot, and
these shoes fit their feet. (they are listed as a B width). I finally found
a pair to try on at my local Stateline Tack. While they do seem wider than a
B, even going up one full size, and having the laces as open, and lose as
possible, they were still to narrow for my D (well, often E) width foot.

I CAN fit in the Roper brand "Horseshoes", in men's sizes. (and they fit
well, and are about $50 a pair) Not sure any of these lace up sports boots
will keep your feet dry. The Roper Horseshoes are a suede material, and the
Ariats were a mix I think of leather and sneaker material.  But as far as
mud and wet on the Horseshoes, I just take a wet brush, and some Woolite
when they get real nasty, wet the outside, and scrub them. I don't soak
them, just wet and clean the outside, and they look pretty good when done.

Jonni (why WIDE feet? Dang it, so many shoes will NEVER fit me!)
