Question for The T.G.'s

[Bronc]

"Soles must be non-grip enhancing (i.e., NO Lug soles)." From the shooters handbook, B-Western category, footwear. It DOES NOT say leather soles. 

Q: Does this mean that contemporary cowboy boots (Ariat, etc.) that have the usual non-leather, non-lug soles but are usually ribbed or NOT smooth are ok for B-Western?

 

Thanks

The OP's question was regarding the SOLES of "contemporary cowboy boots (Ariat, etc.)"
98% (or so) of Ariat's COWBOY BOOTS appear to be BW legal.

Thanks, PaleWolf. You are right. One would be hard pressed to find a contemporary cowboy boot, Ariat, Tony Lama, etc that does not have stitching, usually multi colored.

Thanks again!
