Review

  • Wear boots with a substantial heel when riding to prevent the foot from slipping through the stirrup and getting hung up.

    • A slick sole is preferable, but a low-traction sole can be worn.

  • Cowboy boots are the best choice for riding because they were designed specifically for that purpose, but packer boots with a low-traction sole are also good and are often preferable for many Forest Service situations.

  • Never wear sneakers or tennis shoes.
