I've tried on the so called "riding sneekers" made by a couple of
companies. However, the comfort and support was not there as compared to
Ariat or Asics. So, I've never owned any of those.
Funny, I was just at my message therapist yesterday. She is going to buy a
pair of Ariats to wear to work too. She say's she runs in her's too! (BTW,
she's not and endurance rider, she's more into combined training). She
said she wore her newer pair of Ariats to work one day and had to keep
appologising for the "barn smell" ;-). So, she's going to break down and
buy a pair just to wear to the therapy center. I guess I'm not the only
one who has discovered the comfort.
