I ride in Ariat Performers, the original style,
and I still like them very much. I can't ride in Terrains, as the
sole is too soft. The Performers have a rigid sole and I can't feel the
stirrup pressure through those, as I can with the Terrains.
I have the Blunnies "Women's Work" model with the steel toe and it
is not comfortable as a riding boot nor for long periods of time on the
ground. It has no arch support and is a very "generic" feeling
boot. I usually ride in Ariats and much prefer that feel. The
Blunnie leather is hard: the only part I like about that boot is the steel toe
:-)
