I have had many pairs of Ariats over the years and loved every single pair, you could see and feel the quality, these boots are stunning and the fushia pink is so pretty. Yet the brown coloured leather feels cheap and has a fake feel about it.. it feels and looks very thin on the lower part of the boots. I have only worn them a few times and still stretching out the throat as its quite tight/narrow, will have to see how they last over time. I do love them, so so pretty and comfortable.
