Challenge Field Boot

Ariat makes great field boots. I have had mine for at least 5 years and they are still in good shape (I use them a lot too). The leather was not too difficult to break in and the zipper really adds to the comfort and convenience of the boot. I'd recommend getting a pair.

Pros: zipper, nice quality

Cons: none

I've had the same pair of Ariat Challengers (without zippers) for almost five years now. I clean them almost everytime after I use them (5-7 days a week) and work them hard. I've never had to repair them or resole them, the only thing I've ever had to do is replace the laces (about once a year). I would recomment these to everyone who has an easy to fit foot. My only fitting problem is that I have short shins so I got monster rubs while waiting for these boots to drop down. However now I absolutely love them and because I take such good care of them I expect to have them a few more years. They are still good for shows and such. Definitely a boot to get if they fit you.

Pros: long lasting, dependable

Cons: sizing may be difficult
