I actually love my fat babys they have been comfy from day ine and never had a problem with them getting stuck in my stirrup or not being able to feel. Posted via Mobile Device
Go buy a pair of Ariats..It will be one of the best boot buying decisions of your life. It is my absolute fair boot brand ever..though I do have a pair of Rocky's right now that I'm stuck on..
Do NOT buy the Fat Baby line to ride in..I'm just not a fan of those at all.
Yes yes I live ariats!!! They are all I wear. I've been ordering mine at grapevinehill.com
I had foot problems till I bought my first ariats. I live them!!! Posted via Mobile Device
My husband loves his ariats. He does have to get them in wide and he doesn't have very big feet size 9, but he wears them for work and for riding. And has a pair for good..
I have a pair of Justins that are 5 years old and have held up really well for me. I bought them on sale at TSC for like $35. My new show boots are Sages, they were $100 and they broke in after a motorcycle ride and one workout on my gelding.
Loooove my ariats. Plain ol heritage (and I buy the men's bc they are plainer and more comfy bc my feet are wide). Love them. Can't wear justins, they just don't fit my foot right. And for show and wearing around, my boulet's are THE single most comfortable boots I have ever owned. They don't even compare to my fancy ariats, and they fit me great, felt broken in the day I got them brand new, and are made of leather like butter, yet held up to years of wear and tear (i wear them ALL the time!).
But for around the barn and riding and hacking, my ariat hertiage boots are the best!
What Drumrunner said, ARIATS! I LOVE mine! I live in them 24/7. They're a bit pricey but they're well worth the investment. But do not get the baby fats. Those are like hiking boots.
I work in these. Residential construction work. I also ride in them for right now. Very comfortable. And seem to hold up but havent used them long. Comfortable. But im looking for a different style just for riding.
