Ariat
Cobalt lace-up paddock boot
English Chaps/Boots/Helmets
Manufacturer: Ariat
Model: Cobalt lace-up paddock boot
Category: English Chaps/Boots/Helmets
Purchase: I paid about $180 for these boots from a local tack shop
Likes: The bed of the shoe is excellent and comfortable. They look great and the leather will wear well.
Dislikes: After a dozen or so rides and walking, these boots just wouldn't break in. I also discovered that the thick heel interfere with my ability to use the accelerator on my truck, because I could not force my heel to rest naturally against the accelerator. Because of the platform-like THICK heel, the angle of my foot stuck up at about 45 degrees. I didn't want to drive in one kind of footwear, then change into my boots at the trail head. So I sold them to my sister. SHE could not use them because of the low toe clearance (she has a mild trigger toe).
Quality: Excellent quality and stitching. Great foot bed
Summary: Good all around boot, but you'll need to spend considerable time breaking them in.
