Re: [RC] [RC] riding shoes - Mary Ann Spencer

My daughter is wearing combat boots.  She is using them for work at the local arena and riding.  She used to wear tennis shoes for endurance but she doesnt have time for endurance anymore.  I am weating Ariat technology, but I don't like to run very far in them.   The problem with tennis shoes is they  just don't have good heels.  mas

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