Ariat

Ariat was founded in 1993 with the goal of updating classic equestrian footwear with advanced athletic-shoe technology. The result: durable, stable, comfortable shoes that possess rugged yet modern style. Ariat boots, slip-ons and more have become beloved by equestrians and outdoor enthusiasts alike, and the brand's cowboy boots look right at home in the rodeo arena or the city.

Better than I expected!
So I have never owned a pair of cowboy boots as an adult. But I got these for riding my motorcycle hoping they would be nice and cool and easier to take off at the end of the day. I've been really happy so far the vent nicely on the highway and keep my feet cool like I wanted. As far as comfort compared to other cowboy boots I could tell you there difference. But they are every bit as comfortable as my sneakers.

Should’ve went with another option
I want to return them. They look nice in the box. You wear them once and they look like you’ve had them for a long time. I want a new pair.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted a good looking pair of brown boots and thought these would do nicely. They did not disappoint. Plus, they are lightweight while still giving great support. Been kinda wild getting used to the 13 inch shafts again as most boots these days have 11 inch shafts. If you miss boots from "the good old days" I believe you will enjoy these -- but you will also dig on the lightweight technology, as well as the vent-tek shafts -- best of both worlds in my opinion.
