I have previously bought Ariat boots for horse work and they are great BUT I also wanted them for everyday comfort and that they are very comfortable on my feet and look great and I should also mention that they correspond to reality. to my actual size 11 normal width. The same goes for the 1st pair of Ariat! You can't go wrong choosing these if you want very comfortable shoes/boots that are built to last. Worth every penny. both couples live.
