Thanks! We'll notify you as soon as we add new styles for Ariat.
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.

Wonderfully made boot -- great deal! Crazy comfortable with decent arch support and a removable insole...I can hardly believe it is a boot and not a sneaker. I love the quiet non-slip rubber sole. I wear a 7.5 heel and an 8 sneaker normally. The 7.5 Ariat fits perfect! It is mis-listed as having a 9.5" shaft. It is actually 11" tall from the top of the 1.5" heel (12.5" total). It is such a great boot that Justin tried to copy it with their Stampede collection. The R-toe is the classic Cowboy style, but I returned it in favor of a more flashy fashionable J-toe (listed on Zappos as simply the "Heritage Western," opposed to the "Heritage Western R-toe"). It almost the same boot, save the toe and circumference. One problem for me with the R-toe (that is not a problem with the J-toe) is the circumference at the top of the shaft is 14" (.5" bigger than the J-toe) and the boot is made of softer leather than the J-toe, so it makes my skinny legs look like they are stuck in a too wide bucket. The J-toe is more stiff and straight and fitted to my calf.

I'd also recommend: Justin's Stampede Collection

As always, reliable comfort and fit from Ariat. I was concerned that the photo looked brownish-black, but the boots were true black as desired.

This is my first pair of cowboy boots. I've had a few different styles of Ariat shoes and paddock boots before but never these cowboy style boots before. As always, Ariat shoes are true to form and fit my feet perfectly (size 8 medium). Boots were comfy right out of the box, so easy to slip on and off and very stylish. Perfectly comfortable to walk in all day. Wish I'd taken the plunge years ago with these comfy boots!

Great value in cowboy boot - This is the second pair of these boots (two different colors) it is a well made, very comfortable boot. I would say that they seem to run large as I am usually an 8 but the 8 boot I have is too large, the 7.5 perfect. When the boot is too large they will 'break' between the toe and midsection which you don't want.

Too big - The boot is great in that it's stylish, affordable and built to last. However, after wearing them for a week, they have stretched out tremendously. I have to wear ski socks to try and make them more snug and comfortable. Unfortunately, they're still too big and I don't enjoy wearing them b/c I'm constantly annoyed at how my feet are sliding around in them.
