Hi Tina,

Me again with my opinions!! Frankly, I think some of these fancy
boots and riding sneakers are a pricey gimmick!! My criteria is
if my horse gets hurt, can I hike out in whatever is on my feet?
Can I get off and run with my horse (I have been known to do this!).

Seems more economical and safe to buy stirrups with cages, then
buy good running shoes on sale. The running shoes also provide
a lot of shock absorbing in the sole too.

I also don't think the riding sneakers have enough heel to prevent
you getting your foot throuch a stirrup, from the ones I see.
