Other - purely because I've not ridden in them. But can recommend Ariat all the way.
I know people have the same problem with the boots that the stitching goes, but honestly, like any normal leather product if you look after them they will last. Mine are 3 years old now and look as good as new (and that's even using them when working at the yard)
Definately can say that any Ariat boots are worth the money
I love mine, but am disappionted with the fact that 12 months after buying them they have split across the toes, still ok for yard/hacking but look really scruffy, they are very warm and comforable tho!
I loooove mine. I ride in them (well hacking, not used for a lesson yet) and walk my dogs while wearing them. They are just so cosy and comfy and I hate taking them off
I got leather care products for them though cos at £185 odd quid I want the damn things to last!
Thing is I hated them when I saw them in catalogues, saw them at Balmoral show fell in love and they HAD to be mine. Oh how I love my OH and his better pay than mine
Also love the fact the width is adjustable as I have skinny legs and can never find long boots to fit
Big Fat Yay from me - sloshed about in the mud with them at Borde Hill, then Hickstead - a quick wipe over with a wet cloth and they're fine to ride in!
yay from me too, but you do have to look after them otherwise the will crack, i learnt this the hard way first and they are not cheap, ive now had my 2nd pair well over a year and they are in fab condition still, very warm and comfy
