A few years ago I managed to bruise a heel bone while hiking, and the
discomfort caused me to stop wearing western riding boots for about six months.
I had to resort to wearing sneakers instead. After the injury healed I
continued wearing sneakers as they were more comfortable than the riding boots
for casual wear.
Recently I came across a pair of Skechers loafers in a thrift store and
found that they are even more comfortable as the fit very nicely around the
arch and are more flexible, almost like wearing gloves. I have since found a
couple more pairs and wear them regularly, though I still wear the riding boots
when I want to dress up.
