I don't usually feel like my foot will get stuck through a stirrup 
(english/western/whatever), I prefer to keep the stirrup at the balls of my 
feet, closer to my toes. When I rode in theEZ's, I felt like my whole foot 
was going numb & I couldn't put my heels down the way I like. Could be just 
one of my oddball tendancies <g>.
