RE: [RC] [RC] riding shoes - Laurie Durgin

My daughter does exactly that, seems most paddock boots, even the expensive ones think all womens feet are narrow or medium at most.

really wide feet. Any women with wide feet tried the men's ariats? or do
they come wide enough for women in women's sizes?



I bought a pair of the men's Ariat Terrains as my work boot last summer.
They started out just a hair tight, but stretched plenty fairly rapidly.
Almost too much, you wouldn't have any trouble with the width.  Comfy to
work in, especially after installing orthotic inserts, but I wasn't
particularly impressed with their longevity.  Granted, they got hard duty
everyday, but they got cleaned off nightly and dressed regularly with
Leather Food.  They sides of the synthetic instep started cracking after a
couple of months and I could see my socks showing through within seven
months.  The soles had hardly started to show wear, but there was no way to
repair them.  They might still be functional enough to ride in, but don't
count on dry feet crossing the river. <g>



JME.
