Futurity Relentless Western Boot (Men)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have two other pair of the Futurity technology boots, one pair is the Futurity Time style in olive roughout , and the other is the blue Roughout Futurity Time. Both boots fit well and are very comfortable and durable. I’ve beat the heck out of the olive boots, and the leather has held up well. I recently purchased the Bama Fury Chocolate Bison colorway. The chocolate and blue colors go well together, and it is comfortable like the other Futurity styles. However, the “bison” is a significant step down in durability from my other Ariat boots. The leather feels spongy, almost like it’s a thin layer of leather backed with a softer material. It feels like you could use your fingernail to peel back the leather; it’s that flimsy. The leather also has an odd matte finish that attracts dust and will never shine like my other bison leather boots. I’ve worn them twice, and the leather already shows significant wear on the toe. I wish I could return them, but I’ve worn them outside once so they can’t be returned. I have bison leather boots from other manufacturers, and there is no comparison with the quality of the leather between those brands and these Ariats.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are sweater then a sundown in West Texas! I’ve put my time into a few different Ariat lines over the years for myself, my wife, and my boys. I’ve got a whole troop to outfit, and the brand has always served us well. But if you’re looking to finally level up, you found the right boot. I deep dove way too much into why Trevor Brazile chose Ariat and why he picked certain materials and factories for the Relentless line, so let me save you some time and break it down. To me, this is about creating history around your boots—something you’ll actually pass down with a story. My own journey has taken me from Rio Rico, Arizona, to the Fort Worth Stockyards, and now I’m down in Austin. As a ranch hand and a worker bee, I don’t have time for gear that’s just for show. Trevor chose León, Mexico for a reason. It’s the heart of traditional boot-making. The Goodyear welt and the lemonwood pegs in the sole aren't just for looks; they’re about a build quality that actually lasts and stays balanced when you’re in the dirt. The Navy Bison leather is as rugged as the work I do, and that K-toe gives you a sharp look without sacrificing the room you need when you’re on your feet all day. Trevor built something legendary here because it clearly means something to him, and as a guy who lives in his boots, it means something to me too. At the end of the day, these are the ranch-hand, bench-made boots you’ve been looking for. If you’re working, they get it done—and you look darn good under the lights, too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fit is perfect, the look gets compliments every day, ready to wear all day pretty much out of the box. Easily one of my favorite boots for every day where around the office and on photo shoots, nights out, you name it. 11 iron soul lasts a long time.
