<> Someone made the statement about disliking their riding boots because of the slipperiness of the leather on such infamous surfaces as tool booth slicks (especially when wet), etc. The answer? Riding boots with Vibram Rubber soles and heels. I got mine at a Bass Shoe outlet (New England Area). They are great. Just thought I'd pass a little helpful info. - Steve Robertshaw decvax!scorplx!steve

Don't give up on your current boots if they don't have Vibram soles
(per Steve Robertshaw's posting). My last set started with leather soles,
but when they wore thin I had them replaced with Vibram, at a cost of about
$20. Went through three sets of Vibram before the uppers got too beat up
to make it worth it. Any decent shoe repair shop can handle the job, and
it's definitely worth it.
