Ariat Conistons - reviews please

Well I wouldn't wade through a river in mine due to the laces but I have worn them round the yard for two winters and never got wet feet....love love love love mine :)
 
I had a pair for Christmas and love them, the zip on one of the boots bust a few weeks ago so sent them back to Ariat for them to have a look at (only asked if they could do the repair with me paying, not actually complaining as such, and would have had them repaired locally but for a bad experience with the local bloke last time I needed new zips in boots for a very important occasion...) and I have received a brand new pair with their apologies this week :D :D :D, so I'm very happy again!
 
I tried a pair at the weekend and was told that they were waterproof. They were really comfy and warm but I felt that they were a bit too smart / dressy for what I was looking for and I would get fed up with the look of the 'lacing' up the front so went for the Windrush boots instead, so far they've survived the yard and a muddy rugby field keeping my feet dry :)
