Sat down at the store Tried on left boot Already knew they were amazing compared to my Durango Brand Packed them up take my $! Didnt even walk or try on other boot.

Good: Relatively comfy boot once broken in, looks decent, soft leather, pretty water resistant, very durable outsole. wore for about 250-300 days. very comfortable. the rubber sole has plenty of life left. boots still function great bad: cheaply made. its ariat so it feels a lot like a sneaker, no the type of boot to go riding in. ariat kinda uses cheaper options when it comes to built. flimsy plastic shank that doesnt do much. the heel piece is plastic and is made made to look like a stacked leather. once the rubber wears through on the edge of the heal cap, the plastic heal make a clacking noise when walking. inside boot liner are made of a cloth and starting to peel off at toe and heal caps. thoughts: You get what you pay for. its a comfy boot but the price will show after a solid year or two of daily use. a lot of the areas on the upper that are not leather really have showed their age.

Very comfortable boot. No break in required. I Easter then all day at work and then go out at night and still comfy. Great lightweight boot and nice and cool for the Florida heat.

Great boot, easy break in
