User Reviews
I bought these for Christmas for my little boy because he loves ariat boots. We took a break from them for a bit because he is rough on shoes period boots included so we bought cheaper versions. He is not a lite bit older and I decided to purchase him another pair to see if he can not tear them to hell and back in a 6months period. Inspected the box and boots as soon as they arrive had everything that a normal ariat box/boot would if I bought them in store. They are now wrapped and tucked away under our Christmas tree awaiting for him.
