I ride in high-quality trail running shoes (Adidas
Brahama). I love the cushioning, and they encourage you to get off and
walk or jog. To make this safe, I also use Flex ride stirrups with cages,
so my foot can't go through. I can't imagine riding in any kind of
boots-how could you get off and walk your horse, if you had to, and what happens
when you go into creeks, etc?
Slowly, I have ditched just about everything that
is leather!

Subject: [RC] Survey on best footwear for
endurance
Would like to know what everybody is wearing for
shoes while endurancing. I've been riding in my Timberline hiking boots in
English stirrups but need a new pair of boots. Used to use tennis shoes way
back when. Was looking through ValleyVet.com catalog and found a "western"
play, work, ride boot that looks very much like a hiking boot. Would love to
know what you're all wearing.
