These are my favorite boots of all time! I am seriously on like my 10th pair of these (over a 15 year period). They are so comfortable that I find myself wearing them when doing non horsey things as well, like hiking with the family or going out in rainy weather. (Did I mention they make a waterproof version?)
The best part about the Ariat Terrains is the way they fit. They feel like a cross between a boot and a sneaker. I can take a new pair straight out of the box, and they don’t need a break in period! That’s pretty awesome considering most other boots have me limping around for a few days at least!
They are very lightweight and have a flexible sole. The heel is perfect for safety when riding, but also low enough to be comfortable while doing barn chores. I can wear them all day and my feet will not be fatigued. The sole has some tread as well, which if you grew up wearing some of the old school roper-type paddock boots, you can agree is an important feature! I can remember many times slipping and falling because of those slick soled boots on dewy pastures. The Terrains offer much better traction around the barn.

And as mentioned above, they come in a waterproof version! Wet feet are definitely on my top 5 most annoying things list, above waiting all day for the cable company, getting my license renewed at the DMV, or sitting in Atlanta traffic. I really hate wet feet! These boots keep your feet nice and dry through dew, mud, and even puddles. All without the uncomfortably hot and sweaty feeling of rubber rain boots.

Now you know why I love these boots so much, and you won’t be surprised to see me wearing them on a rainy day at the grocery store!
