Oh Boy! Heres a subject I can really put my foot in my mouth over! I wear packer boots by White's. these are a lace up version of the cowboy boot for folks who spend equal time afoot and mounted. A safe riding boot must be smooth soled and heeled. I don't care to tear up delicate soil communities with my old norwegian welted deep lugged matterhorn monsters anymore. In snow, I wear Stegner Mukluks. A flexible boot allows for greater circulation and custom insulation. In the city, I wear black dress shoes. My great grandmother said a lady could judge a gentleman by his shoes and watchLOL.
