Broken boots

[Lill]

My lovely £80 ariat jod boots which are soo comfy both have broken zips

am most unimpressed have not had them very long and i only wear them to ride in as i have muck boots for round the yard! Is this a common problem? Fixable?

Still having to ride in them as i have no others and feels like they're gonna fall off my feet - well they prob would if i didn't wear half chaps!!

my friend took her MH ones to the local saddlery repair shop and he fixed new zips in them for her at a reasonable price. Definitely worth a try

Hi there,

If you haven't had them very long, it may be worth contacting Ariat - my friend did a while ago and they replaced her boots, their customer service was excellent.

dont like these boots have had 2 pairs and given up now much refer the equetech ones so much more comfy

try sending them back to ariat for repair, i have heard of people sending back mountain horse boots for replacement zips (seems to be a common problem) and they have been returned nicely cleaned-up too!
if not, timpson or any other high street cobbler should be able to fix them

Yup, this happened to mine after about a year, so had them replaced by friend who very usefully happens to be a saddler and she put new zips in.
As all above-cobblers, or local saddler will most probably put new zips in for you.

How long have you had them? Ariat are very good at replacing item if they are faulty in any way.
