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.

Love these boots. I saw other reviews complaining about size but I'm thinking people don't really know their true shoe size, or are used to another brand that is a little off. I wear size 10 or occasionally 10 1/2 sometimes in tennis shoes or shoes with a lot of padding but with boots I usually know to size down to 9 1/2 which I did for these and the fit is perfect. Also I did not find that these run narrow as other people have said. If you have a normal width foot like I do, D will be perfect. If you have a wider foot, get a wider size but don't assume D will be too narrow. Some of the reviews on here are making sizing way too complicated and confusing. Haven't had a pair of cowboy boots in quite awhile, I feel like I was as a kid wanting to wear them everywhere so I won't have to tie my shoes. The padding and softness of the leather really make this a joy to wear. They clean up easily too. Highly recommended.

I have tried these boots on only once. They are very tight and feel a whole size smaller. I ordered them in size 9D, since no one seems to make a triple E size boot. I am still considering returning these boots, but quite frankly don't know what size to order now.

Pros: 1. These boots last a very long time. The first set I had was 7 years old. That's being used for work all the time. The only thing I've had to replace during the seven years is the sole insert. 2. Rubber sole that's resistant to de-icing fluid. Non-slip too. 3. Airport friendly boots with the composite shanks. Cons: 1. Boots are about one inch shorter than the originals. That's probably how they kept the price the same. The only issue is pants get caught in the top of the boots after standing up (minor inconvenience). 2. Made in China. Another nice set of boots by Ariat.

Best boots for those with narrow heels & shallow instep. I tried on four different brands of "Roper Boots" and the only brand that fit my feet were the Ariats...they are apparently made on true combination lasts (even though the others say that they are)-- combination last means having a wider forefoot than the heel. Also the instep is shallower so that my slim foot is held down to the insole much better and my heel does not come up hardly at all when I walk. I love them!!

I'd also recommend: Can't comment on this...?!!

These had a little break in period, as expected. Now, they're super comfortable. I can wear them for casual-nice or somewhat dressy.
