Recently, for the first time in many years, I had
my feet measured in a shoe store that won't even let you try shoes on without
measuring first. I needed a pair of shoes that would let me work (with
lots of walking) on concrete, without ending up with aching feet and
hips.
Turns out that I do not wear a size
10B. Depending on the shoe, I need a 9 or 9.5 EE --
yikes!!
The New Balance walking shoes I got are really
comfy, and now I'm wondering how much more comfortable I'd be while riding if I
was wearing something wider than my Ariat Terrain's. I'd like to use a
shoe with a heel -- not for safety, because I use endurance stirrups with safety
cages, but so that I don't destroy the elastic under-the-foot straps on
my half-chaps.
I'm thinking that perhaps Blunnie's are the way to
go, especially the uni-sex models. Anybody have any recommendations
regarding The Original style versus the TPU?
