I bought a pair a few weeks ago and absolutely love them! very warm and beautiful quality. Dont know about finding them cheap though, I paid full price in saddlery but I couldnt wait
I have had a pair since Badminton the time before last (so they are nearly 2 years old) - have used them every day and the only thing I have done is chucked a bit of saddle soap on every couple of weeks and changed the laces once.
All my friends have them and love them. I have the Glaciers, which are all leather without the suede, and love them to bits too. Wouldn't have anything else but Ariats nowadays in long or short boots.
