Customer Reviews Ariat Coniston Pro GTX Insulated

I purchased these boots for a horse riding trip in Iceland. I could not be more pleased. The leather is high quality and my feet stayed totally dry and warm the whole time. Highly recommend!

I live in West Michigan and recently started riding again, and I needed some actual serious winter riding boots as my old pair (just leather with fleece lining) no longer zip over my leg. These are perfect. The laces allow them to adjust to fit, and the back zip makes them easy to pull on and off. They have broken in very easily and quickly, and they are VERY warm. I rode in 35F weather this week, and my feet stayed toasty in these boots with regular socks and silk liners, and that helped the rest of me stay warm even though I'm still riding in cotton breeches. They've kept my feet dry in mud and rain, and they clean up beautifully with a quick swipe of saddle soap. If you're deciding between these and the Berwicks, apparently these are riding boots you can also do chores in and the Berwicks are barn boots you can also ride in (look at the tread). Since I'm mostly riding, these were great for me. Like most winter riding boots, they're not quite as tall as regular tall boots, but they do the trick and I have shorter calves anyway. They're a little bit wider in the foot than my Ariat paddock boots, so you may need to get wider stirrups, but they don't look like Frankenstein boots on--I have gotten compliments from everyone at the barn each time I've gone. The only downside I would say is that they're not quite as supportive to walk around in as my regular Ariat paddock boots. I look forward to many winters with these boots.

These are very sturdy/high quality boots but probably not meant for a lot of walking. There were a few pressure points when I tried them on that could start hurting after a day of walking in them. There is a zipper and laces so they are good for people with different calf widths.

I have wanted to try these boots for quite a while and finally had the chance. Totally love them. I have worn Ariats for years but had noticed that their paddock boots had gone done a bit in quality. These have not. The leather is lovely, they fit me perfectly (I wear an 8 shoe and the 8s I purchased fit just fine). I like that they zip all the way up and that you can adjust the fit on the calf with the ties in front. They look great - I hate to wear them to the barn but of course I will! Don't think you can go wrong if you are looking for a pair of winter riding boots (or walking around town either). Classy, stylish and well made. What more could you ask for.

I ordered these boots for an upcoming trip to Iceland. The leather is very high quality. They were comfortable on the first try. I love these boots! Worth every penny.

I bought these for my daughter to use while taking dressage lessons in winter. The laces make leg fit easy for those with wider calves or winter riding pants. They are perfect for taking lessons in cold winter. They have bend to them and structure while adding some extra warmth. You can get heavier duty boots with more insulation but it makes lesson riding difficult if you can’t drop your heel. Great boots!

These boots get two thumbs up all the way around for both function and fashion. I live in the mountains of western Colorado and ride outside 3-5x a week all fall and winter. I am always cold...but these boots keep me warm and dry AND I am happy to run errands in them because they are so cute and comfortable! Was worried they would be too tall for me at the back of the calf as I am 5'5", thin, with short and thin legs but they are perfect! The back zip to get in and out of them is key. And they are bomb proof. I muck stalls, hike, and ride dressage in them and they still look new. Easy to clean. Have been in mud, snow and manure. Highly, highly recommend!

i am an equestrian, ariat lover and shoe snob. these boots are AMAZING. the holy grail if you have a thicker calf but love cool styles. I think if you had very skinny claves they may be too wide up top? not sure. I loved these right out of the box, and am considering buying another pair jsut in case ariat quits making them. very nice. I havent tried them in rain but i can tell they are water repellant. I have a pair of Duberry boots and may sell them. I like these way more!! you will not be disappointed! PS ran true to size, comfy right out of the box!!

Beautiful!! I ordered these boots for an upcoming trip to Iceland. They are insulated and feel great on...only a little too heavy for hiking any distance or the suitcase. Maybe I'll re-order next winter?

Fantastic Boot!! Had to return, too large but will find a 7.5-
