re: New Boot help

I’ve had this same pair for about 8 months and I’ve already worn out the sole. I too liked the color pattern of the upper but I just wish Ariat can make a sole worth a damn. I had a Pair of their steel toe boots that I tried to break in for a month and I threw them in the trash because they hurt my legs. It took six months to recover.



This is my every day work boot and I’ve had Irish setter/red wing boots for three years and I love them. This pair has lasted me over a year and I’m on my feet 6+ hours in a day on cement. You get what you pay for and while they are a tad more expensive, they are made to a better standard.



The iron ranger is a pair I have as a casual boot and it can be re-soled after they’re worn out. While expensive, they’re great. Don’t forget the moc-toes. Plus these are made in the good ole USA.

These links show how well made they are with great detail. Dude knows his stuff.
