Performer Nitro Waterproof Paddock Boot (Women)

I wear a 10 shoe and bought these in a size 10 and they fit well and are super comfortable too! I highly recommend them! I bought them based on my sister’s recommendation of Ariat products after she has used them for decades and found them to be her favorite for horseback riding. Love them.

I have been using these boots for three years. I ride 2-3 days a week. I wear the boots all day at the barn, working with horses and doing chores. I clean and condition the boots regularly. They are very comfortable and clean up “like new”, even after year-round use in the PNW (rain or shine; arena sand and puddles). They pair well with spurs and half chaps. The leather stretches in the forefoot, which I appreciate. The laces allow for a snugged-up fit in the instep. I bought my street shoe size, and there is room in the toe and forefoot (medium to medium wide, bony, athletic (runner) forefoot).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had 2 or 3 pairs of these boots now and I am on this site today looking for an alternative. One pair came unstitched on the side of the toe cap after 1 or 2 years, so I bought a 1/2 size up, and that pair had the same thing happen within 6 months. Ariat's quality has decreased so much in the last 15 years. The thread is so thin that it just rips through the leather. I bought these for the stiffer leather upper and the extra room in the toe box, but I think they are too stiff and lack the cushioning I need.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had multiple pairs of Ariat paddock boots over the years but after a 10 year riding break I questioned if I should try another brand. Really happy I chose to stick with Ariat. They're sturdy but still comfortable, just like all my previous pairs.

These are the best paddock boots I have ever owned. I specifically wanted a pair that are leather lined and I can’t believe I got them for this price! After about three days they were soft and comfy as bedroom slippers and are wearing beautifully even though they are routinely subjected to sand, mud and gravel. Would definitely buy again although I’m sure it will be many years before I need a new pair.
