[RC] Riding shoes/boots/stirrups - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Ray O'Donohue rno2m@xxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== I am more and more certain that the people who design,or rather refuse to design,human footwear have no idea at all what they are doing.They don't have to-yet-because the market at this point presents few to no alternatives.We wear the corners off the back of the heels of our shoes because there should be no material there to begin with.We wear the side off prematurely because the toe area/ front of the shoe is shaped in a way that no human foot has ever been shaped,and our toes are cramped.So we roll the foot over to the outside in compensation.If you find footwear you like,buy as many pair as you can find,because they will dissappear shortly,when the new styles neccesary to "short product cycle" marketing come out. I just ordered and will return a pair of "Ropers",not optimistic that they would be keepers.They weren't.Toes shaped like a blunt arrowhead.I already have plenty of footwear shaped like that,gathering mildew. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
