RE: [RC] riding shoes - ColleenSupersat2

HI, 
I looked at those Ariat boots and they look great. I ride in Ariat too but
not that style. 
My feet, knees and shins feet would throb the pain was so bad I was
beginning to think I could not ride longer than an hour. We had a friend Bob
Foster who's wife was an endurance rider (Dorothy) and he claimed he had
remedied Dorothy's foot and knee problems and suggested I try his stirrups.
So I did and he was right. They have lasted 14 years came with this crazy
toe basket that I don't want to ride with out but they come with out them
too. Bob explained that the Nylon allows the stirrups to flex with your
weight which eliminated the pressure on your feet, knees etc. While
attending the AERC convention last month Bob came in our booth I asked if he
had anymore stirrups to sell so he sent about 10 pair...if you are
interested I can email you a photo of them and you can send me $50.00 plus
8.00 for shipping. Try them, you'll know on your first ride if they work for
you and if you don't like them you can send them back.  You'll need to pay
for the shipping both ways. Colleen

Subject: [RC] riding shoes

I thought I had solved my riding shoe problems when I purchased my Ariat
Terrains, but I am having real problems with the side of my right foot.
Last week on my normal training ride, the outside of my right foot was
hurting so badly, that I had to keep walking & taking my foot out of the
stirrup.  I have purchased some new stirrups with the safety cage, so I can
use tennies.
