A couple of
hours in those fabric stirrups and you're a cripple.
Climbing boots will not crush even slightly. Cowboy boots are designed
to go in stirrups.

You are NOT wearing those on MY deck, sonny!

I have a pair of steel-toed work/hiking boots with light (almond)
colored soles that do not seem to mark. My climbing rig has nice wide
footboards, so I could theoretically go up barefoot comfortably, but
the opportunity to smash or sever toes would be great.



Yeahbut - he was talking Cowboy boots - probably with spurs.

(people DO wear spurs around here)
