Bought these boots at my local western trading post at first they were great but then after about 5 month's the sole started to tear off, it got worse. I took them to where I bought them they said they had some comeback like mine more than once. Apparently Ariat's don't care about their products they just care about the money, I bought Justin's and they are holding up a lot better. I had another pair of old Ariat's and the sole still looks new those are 2 years old not buying Ariat's again.
