You should. Cowboy boots are riding boots, built so that it is easy to slip into the stirrups and keep your foot in the stirrups without your foot slipping out like what would happen if you had boots with no defined heels on them. Cowboy boots are best for Western saddles. For English saddles, though, you may need a different type of riding boot that is built for English riding saddles. There's nothing dangerous about having the proper footwear for riding horses. It's actually more dangerous if you do NOT have the proper footwear for riding in the saddle because it could be really bad if your foot suddenly slipped through the stirrups and you couldn't get your foot out if you had to get off your horse right away.

Why do metal stirrups turn your boots black?
The stirrups are likely either rubbing on the boot causing scuff marks or they could be silver plated and the tarnish is rubbing off onto the boot. You should give the stirrups a thorough cleaning, and if they are silver polish them with a silver polish. The stirrup may also be too small in which case they will continue to rub even when clean. Remember a stirrup should be a full half inch wider than your booted foot to prevent rubs and getting caught up in it.
When you are riding the best footwear you can wear is?
Riding boots! These are specifically designed for riding horses and are safe, as they have a heel which prevents your foot becoming stuck in the stirrup. However, paddock boots can also be worn, as well as wellington boots if you cannot find riding boots or are trying riding for the first time. NEVER wear trainers or flat soled shoes as these have no heels and your foot could slip through the stirrups and your foot could become stuck which is very dangerous.

The best kind of shoe to wear while riding is a boot with a small heel - about 1/2 to 3/4 inch.

If you are a serious horseman/horsewoman, you should purchase some paddock boots, or perhaps field boots. For those who compete, the best options are dress boots, field boots, or paddock boots WITH chaps. However, there may be certain rules as to what you can wear.
