Ariats

[Bonifield/Poulson <bonifarm@oro.net>]

Hi- In the 70's I wore out cowboy boots; in the 80's it was English 
jumping boots; by now as a trainer/instructor my poor feet are so 
trashed from wearing unsupportive, ill-fitting boots that they scream at 
me in agony if I don't wear correct-fitting shoes with effective support 
and thick soles.I tried several models of EXPENSIVE Ariats and couldn't 
wear them into town to the grocery store without hobbling. Finally 
settled on their "Winter Boot", now it's called the Extreme I 
believe.They last about 8 months, as opposed to the Miller's riding 
tennis shoe which lasts about 5 months. I'm hard on shoes!If you get the 
Ariats order them big-- they seem to run narrow--buy extra laces at the 
drugstore; the Ariat laces don't last at all.I'm ready to try some 
expensive Danish Running/hiking boots that seem to fit all of my comfort 
and fit requirements.I'll let you know how soon I wear them out...! 
Alexi with worn out size 7 feet and lots of reasons to stay on them
