The boot team at NRS teamed up with Olathe to design a line ofboots that are ready to ride. These boots are built to endure countless hoursin the saddle and are equipped with the little things a serious rider demandsin their boots. All NRS Ride Ready boots have a neoprene midsole for added support,stability in the stirrup, and increased integrity of the leather outsole. Wealso upgraded from the traditional hybrid sole to a clear F1 hybrid or Vibramsole for added durability without jeopardizing the rider's ability to haveproper foot placement in the stirrup. High on our priority list was to provideour customer with a boot that had an honest spur rest. Every pair of the NRSRide Ready boots have a generous spur rest that is sufficient for its purposeyet not overdone. All spur rests are covered with a plastic spur rand creatingthe optimal platform for the spur. The plastic spur rand also protects theleather heel from breaking down. All heels are nailed on for added toughness.
