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.
