Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Survey on best footwear for endurance

I second Karen.  I like a good quality trail running shoe. Between the brands
out there, Adidas, Nike, etc. it's pretty easy to find one that fits well.
Light weight, give good support and are comfortable if you get off and walk/jog.

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.
