    Like riding in your pink fuzzy bedroom slippers.  I got mine last
    summer when my old boots fell apart.  Rode in them all winter -- not
    once did I suffer agonies of dismounting onto frozen feet!

    I love mine.  Good support in the ankle and the arch.  Plus the balls of 
    my feet don't sting after 4 or 5 hours in the saddle.

  I got mine the summer before last and absolutely love them... wish I could
  wear them at shows!  Very comfy.

    I too agree with the other replies and I even had a lesson in mine
    yesterday the only problem I find is that they are not waterproof!

   I know about a half dozen women who have them and like them a lot
   but I know two men who have tried them and didn't like them. One
   was my trainer, who destroyed his in a matter of a few weeks, and 
   the other is my husband, who says they were too soft (not supportive
   enough, I guess). Maybe they don't work as well for larger feet.
   Depends on your requirements.

    shops in CO.

    I've seen them in tack shops and, at least at UCF in Littleton, even in
    grain stores here in the east.  They're made by a company called On
    Course.
