In 1990, Ariat International co-founders Beth Cross and Pam Parker set out to create a new company and a new way of thinking about footwear for riders. They realized that traditional English and Western riding boots were stiff, heavy and hard on the feet — not very well suited for riding. Both riders with backgrounds in the athletic shoe industry, they realized the unique needs of equestrians — both in the saddle and on the ground — and the performance-enhancing benefits that could be brought to riding boots to give these athletes an edge.

So they assembled a group of top footwear engineers and designers, and set them on the task of creating the world's most technically innovative performance riding boots. They started by re-designing the outsole, rethinking the arch support system and finally taking a hard look at the suitability of "traditional" last shape and fit. While they were building the technology platform for Ariat boots, they were also talking to hundreds of top riders who helped in the design and development of the final product.

In 1993, Ariat shipped their first pair of boots, and today Ariat is the world leader in performance equestrian footwear, offering a full range of English and Western riding boots, work boots and casual footwear — plus new lines of performance apparel and accessories to fully outfit today´s equine athletes and equestrian-inspired lifestyle enthusiasts.

Whether you are a professional equestrian athlete or a novice rider, you will find an Ariat boot with the performance technology that is perfect for you. Ariat boots cushion the foot while stabilizing the heel and arch, dramatically reducing fatigue and stress to the feet, legs and lower back. This amazing technology can also be found in a variety of casual Ariat shoes — providing you with comfortable and stylish alternative for those relaxed, easy-going days.

Comfy! Perfect shoe 4 nurses with low arches. D*nsk#'s and S*nit#'s kill my feet. Not a fan of bodily fluids potentially soaking through, so running shoes are a no-go. Ariat's were the answer. Bought them at the outlet in KY & couldn't be happier. Had them for almost 2 years & they are still comfortable. Received compliments from colleagues & patient families. Only con: hubby doesn't like how tall they make me.

This shoe looks beautiful and I love the extra height of the substantial platform. They look more feminine and pretty than the Danskos. However, I could not keep them because they fit too tightly. However, the biggest problem was that I immediately turned my ankle after I put them on. That scared me because it was a pretty quick shocking snap of my ankle. No harm done except to give me a good scare and make me certain that they had to go back.

Oh my, I love these clogs. Comfortable even on the first day of wear. Normally I wear a 9.0 W so ordered the 9.5 because of the width; too big, so ordered the 9.0 perfect fit. As a nurse on her feet most I highly suggest these clogs. I love Zappos and tell everyone when I have a chance how great Zappos is. Thanks for the great products, S&H Zappos!

Love anything by Ariat. These are so comfortable. Comparable to the Dansko shoes. I also have some boots for riding my horses and that is why I decided to get a regular pair of shoes because they are so darn comfortable. They run a bit large so order a half size down. I am a 8.5 normally and had to get a 8 and they still fit a bit loose in the heel.

Wow! These shoes are amazing! I am an art teacher and am on my feet all day. These shoes required no break-in time, and they are just what I've been looking for. They go with everything, have just enough lift to be flattering, and keep me from feeling fatigued at the end of the day. I'm over 6 feet tall and have a size 11 foot, so to find something that's so comfortable and fits so well is great. I am getting another pair next paycheck.

I like the ones with the softer sole but these are great once they are broken in.
