Re: [RC] Shoes for the Rider - Linda Mirams


On the general principal that one should always questions one's
premises...

What is the true point and purpose of a steel or plastic
instep support in a hiking/riding shoe?  What's the theory?
Why are they there?  Yeah, I know, to "provide support,"
but support of *what*?  Doing *what*?

And is what they are "supporting" anything that, in the
real world, has any application to a rider going many
miles on uneven trail ground?
