“By the way you look fantastic in your boots of Chinese plastic...”


Here’s a CS report on where they make them boots of Chinese plastic!

I have a few pair of Ariat's. Lace up, pull-on and 6" work boot. I think they are all pretty decent for the price range. I've tried others including Justin but the way the Ariat's fit for me is better.

That price is pretty dang good.

I don't know anything about those boots or what they normally sell for, but that price just screams counterfeit.

Especially on Facebook. That sounds like a scam and you won’t even get a counterfeit boot in return.

Ariat makes a decent boot for the price.

Happy with mine, but it took trying on multiple sizes, as they're nowhere near my normal shoe size.

Having nothing better to do at the moment Being curious about everything, I looked this brand up at Academy, where I had seen them before. https://www.academy.com/shop/b...stern-boots-by-ariat Western-style boots range from under $100 (on sale) to $220, so $260 as a MSRP for a top of the line model is plausible.

I've been wearing a pair of Ariat lace up 4" work boot the last year. On sale for 40% off their normal list, my $70 purchase has been a very good deal in all aspects. So far.

You get what you pay for.
In this case, you may not get anything but lighter $30 in your wallet.
I'm not on Facebook but I wouldn't buy anything off of it.

That’s a scam. Don’t do it. You’ll get your credit/debit card data stolen and no boots.

Check out Tecovas Boots Good boots at a good price. They’ve been Internet only but are now building brick and mortar stores. One is opening in OKC in 2 weeks.

Ariat=Chinese boots.

Yes they are.

But that is a Chinese scam IMO.

I believe Para once said ".. the whole damn world is made in China.."

that said I have been quite satisfied with the few pair of Ariats I own and wear. Comfortable and seem to have a decent wearable life.

good barn boots.

I have a pair, closer to the $200 range, but they are quite comfortable as far as cowboy boots go.

Caveat emptor on that though. Couldn't imagine $29 Ariats being authentic.

One of the first things I did when I moved to Kentucky was buy a pair of Cowboy boots.
Tried on a whole bunch.
I settled on a set of $220 Ariats and they are one of the most comfortable boots I have ever owned.
I now buy Ariat insoles for most of my shoes.
I’ll get another pair some day.
Wife and kids I am hard pressed to spend that much on casual boots.
Work I can justify my $300 boots but sadly cowboy boots don’t fall under policy.
