This is my 3rd pair of Ariat boots-  they are excellent in quality of materials, craftsmanship and the fit is excellent!!  This boot is the best value all around-  good quality and I think a reasonable price!!  I especially like that they have an actual heel-  almost impossible to find anymore- in either shoes or boots!  the size is true and consistent from pair to pair-  again- not always true, even with other better brands!!
