[RC] Terrains and long-distance riding styles that affect the feet - Beth LeggieriAm on my second pair of Terrains. I wear them twice a day at feeding time. They do wear out across the top, right where the lace-up portion starts (can't remember the technical name for that part of a shoe), the cracking starts, then the tearing, then the hole opens up. Not complaining about the quality--it is excellent considering the demands placed on them (twice a day feeding with all the walking back and forth, the weather demands, etc. -- not to mention the riding). Just can't wear anything else now -- totally spoiled. As far as sole pain, arch pain, etc. I recently was told that "older" endurance riders (those that have ridden for years and years) are now developing foot problems. I have also learned that the cavalry model for long-distance riding included weight-bearing on the arches rather than just on the balls of the feet, and it was suggested that prudent shifting of weight back and forth is a good
long-term idea. Am interested in hearing some discussion on that. Thanks, Beth Texas
