I have had multiple pairs of Ariat boots and have loved them all. They are comfortable and of good quality, but not overly expensive. The only negative comment that I have is that the zipper on my Ariat field boots broke. I know that this is a common problem with zippered field boots, but it still was quite a bummer. Overall though, Ariat boots are great!

Pros: Quality, comfort

Cons: Zipper malfunctions

I love my ariat tall boots. i think they are the challengers. can't remember. i have had them for 3 years. but they are comfortable which is neccessary at a show all day. and the zipper is the greatest thing ever. they fit like a second skin and are no problem to ride in. I only ride in mine at the shows, but they are holding up great.

Pros: comfortable at show all day

Cons: none

I'm pretty happy with my different pairs of Ariats, I've had a few that weren't comfortable, but lately I've been pleased. They offer enough sizes in their full boots that people can find something that fits without having to go custom, which would double the price. Definitely a product I intend to continue using in the future!

Pros: many sizes which makes them almost semi-custom

Cons: I've had a few pairs that weren't particularly comfortable

Ariat makes a wide range of boots - paddock and show - and all are of high quality. They are definitely not the cheapest out there, but you get what you pay for in this world, and if you live in a snowy, mucky climate like I do, you need boots that are going "weather the storms" - quite literally. These boots do the trick.

Pros: long wearing, sturdy, good looking

Cons: not cheap

I have had several pairs of Ariat boots (paddock boots, tall boots [field boots], etc) and have absolutely loved all of them. They hold up nicely, and are always attractive and high quality. The only down side is that they are quite expensive... but they last long enough to make up for it!!

Pros: comfortable, durable, attractive

Cons: expensive
