My daughter is wearing combat boots. She is
using them for work at the local arena and riding. She used to wear tennis
shoes for endurance but she doesnt have time for endurance anymore. I am
weating Ariat technology, but I don't like to run very far in them.
The problem with tennis shoes is they just don't have good heels.

My daughter does exactly that, seems most paddock boots, even
the expensive ones think all womens feet are narrow or medium at
most.
