This is my second pair. The first ones lasted four years and I wore them almost everyday. I wear them for everything- riding, barn chores, hiking, shopping, yard work. They are comfortable right out of the box with no break in time and fit true to size.

I have given Ariat's three chances and none of my boots have lasted a year. I ride Endurance and I own a farm and horses and I have been searching for a boot that I can do chores in and then get on and ride. Even waterproof Ariats have cracked and leak after approximately 3 months. I am not overweight, nor do I have a difficult size and I do not walk through fire with them. If anyone has any suggestions as to a different brand of boot that lasts, that is all purpose - tough enough for chores and narrow enough for riding PLEASE let me know - because Ariats do not cut it and I wish they had a warranty. AWFUL boots.
