Free Return Shipping on all Sized Items
As riders and online shoppers, we know it can be tough to buy a new bridle or pair of boots without trying them on. That's why we moved the fitting room to your living room (or barn)! From breeches to blankets, if you or your horse can try it on, you can return it, free! Just use the pre-paid return label included in your order within 60 days from the purchase date.

The Fine Print
We love our products and we're happy to take them back - even custom items. We'll happily take back everything from engraved halters to personalized jackets - even embroidered blankets that have been worn (minus the manure, please). But there are a few things we have to restrict returns on (silly federal regulations).
Undergarments
Health regulations require that undergarments (including bras) need to be in new condition (tags and packages intact) in order to be returned. (Even if it wasn't required, do you really want to shop from a store that takes back used undergarments?!)
Saddles
As riders, we know what a big investment a saddle is. That's why we're proud to offer the best Test Ride program in the business. You can keep our Test Ride saddles risk-free for five days, to really make sure you like the fit and the feel. We know that to truly try a saddle, you have to really ride in it. So go ahead and girth it up. Forget about wrapping your stirrup leathers. Try it with or without a saddle pad. Basically, treat it like you already bought it, so you can make sure you really want to. Because when you buy a saddle from us, we want to make sure you love it. Of course, we want our other customers to love their new saddles, too.
That's why we have a Test Ride option for each saddle we carry - so that all of the other saddles can stay in pristine condition, waiting for their new owners. For this reason, if you purchase a saddle outside the Test Ride program, it's still eligible for return, but must be free from any marks or damage.
So that's it. Seriously. Those are all of our "rules." Well, except the most important one - treating our customers the way we want to be treated. So if you have any questions or if there is anything we can do, please call us at 1-800-461-8898 or email CustomerCare@SmartPak.com. We are always happy to help.

Ariat Fit Tips!
Premium full grain leather shaft with perforations make this boot soft to the touch; Gore stretch panel allow for generous fit; Elasticized instep provides more mobility and flex through foot and ankle; If between calf measurements, opt for smaller calf; V Sport makes a great option for a rider wanting more accommodation through the foot of the boot
Additional Tips & Tricks
- Ariat uses the highest quality zippers, coiled YKK #10
- “Tall & Tight” is the motto. The zipper should not glide up easily, but it should NOT take you 40 minutes to zip them either
- Height is correct when you see a “V” behind the knee when you do a slight squat
- You can expect a ¼” to a ½” drop in height in tall boots
- Heel lifts (or small tack sponge) can be used as an aid during break- in
- Calf and height measurements change every other foot size on the ½ size. So, 7.5 and 8 have the same measurements, as do 8.5 and 9
INSIDER EXCLUSIVE : This can work to your advantage! If an 8 slim is too tight and a 8 regular is too loose, then try the 8.5 slim since that will fall between the two calf sizes.

My favorite boots!
I have the reviews on here and just have to say that these are NOT custom boots and not every leg/foot is going to fit in them perfectly. But they DO fit my leg and foot PERFECTLY! I have very skinny heels and usually have trouble w blisters. I have no issues whatsoever with these and do not need to "break them in". I am on my second pair because I LOVE them! I have had my last pair for over 4 years and the area that is glued together at the toe separated (I can take it to the shoe maker and have it repaired; pretty simple fix). I beat the heck out of these boots (not on purpose, though) and they have held up extremely well! I've walked through water, mud and snow. I've cleaned stalls in them.... yuck
I also disagree that they are hard to clean (because the outside of the boot is perforated leather). I just use Lexol cleaner and Lexol conditioner; just a little elbow grease.
These boots are extremely comfortable in the saddle and while running errands. They are SOOOO sharp looking! The full grain leather on the inside provide lots of grip in the saddle. An all around great boot! They also come in a variety of height/width options. Make sure you measure! (I usually wear an 8, but 7.5 in this boot fits me)

Love these!
I have a very high arch and these boots are perfect! The sales person at the tack store recommended I buy 1 whole size larger and that was really good advice as my wide foot fits perfectly.
They broke in easily, no rubbing anywhere, and still look great!

Not true to size
Ordered the Wide Tall in an 11. The calf was supposed to be 16.5 inches. Measured 16 inches on the outside. Inside was 15.25 inches. Not going to work. Will try an xwide medium (which will not likely be tall enough...)

Comfortable tall boots that fit like a glove!!
I purchased these after my prior pair of inexpensive non-Ariat tall boots wore out. I absolutely LOVE these boots! The fit was perfect right out of the box, and broke in painlessly, and dropped just the right amount. They fit me so well that my trainer thought I was wearing custom boots (she was shocked when I mentioned that they weren't). And the footbed is amazingly comfortable, both in and out of the saddle. I can ride in them for hours, or teach an entire day of therapeutic riding lessons, and my feet aren't throbbing at the end of the day…YAY!! They are also durable. I have worn them every day, and they aren't showing any signs of wear.

Great to ride in, but sizing odd
Agree with other users- I'm typically a 7.5 but the 7.5 was way too big in the foot and ankle. I sent them back for a 7, which fit better in the ankle (although a bit snug) but the calf is more snug as well. I went for the regular calf, and I have pretty slim calves but even the 7 regular is VERY tight. I have friends who told me they will stretch, though.
All that being said, I loved riding in them- the grip is perfect. I'm hoping they break in well.

Nice Boots, Sizing Innacurate
As another reviewer mentioned, Ariat does not provide accurate width measurements. My calves are 15 inches. I ordered the wide, which in my size should have a 15 inch calf. The calf was only 14 inches. I could not even begin to zip them.

Favorite!
Love these boots! It's so hard for me to find boots that fit my short/wide calf. With heel lifts, these do the trick! So comfy once broken in! I love how there's no laces to break and how "sporty" they look.

Super soft leather
Leather is very soft right out of the box. Seem to break in easily.

Good quality, respectable break in period
I bought these to replace my battered pair of old Ariats (the Heritage Contour...can't believe they stopped making them in brown!) that finally succumbed to the everyday schooling of an eventer. I went for these as they seemed a little thicker and I was hoping they'd be even more durable than the last pair. The performance-looking foot bed also gave me hope that they'd be more comfortable walking longer distances (i.e. cross country courses etc.). So far I have not been disappointed! They still need to drop, but overall have been relatively comfortable during the break in process without being too easy to break in (read thin...unlike my Mountain Horse Sovereigns, which broke in within a ride or two and would obviously not be able to stand the beating of regular riding...luckily I bought them for showing). Seem durable and well-made as I'd expect from Ariat. Wish they came in brown, but I think I'm in the minority here. Looking forward to getting a good few years out of them!
