Ariat Rambler
Full Grain Leather Antiqued GreyThese are my beater boots (digging holes, pouring concrete, off-roading in mud, etc.. they get used in those types of scenarios). They only get cleaned and conditioned once (maybe twice) a year. Today was the day, and they were in rugged shape. They were cleaned and dried over night, thoroughly brushed, conditioned, a bit of tobacco brown Saphir crème surfine polish rubbed in and rested for an hour, and then brushed for ~5mins per boot. Now they’re ready for another year of abuse and neglect 🤙

These are wide for a D width and roomy in the toe box. Perfect fit for me, no toe rub, heel stays locked down after break-in. These wear like sneakers. Quite comfortable.

More about this item
I only wear these when I know I’m doing something that could tear up my shoes and, when I do, I wear them hard without a care for how beat up they may get. I clean and condition once (maybe twice) a year, and they have held up wonderfully. These are cemented construction with what appears to be a stitch around the toe box ( could be cosmetic, IDK). They haven’t shown any signs that the sole wants to come off and the single piece duratread sole/heal has been very hard-wearing (I think I can run these as I have been for many more years without issue). These are unlined, lightweight, have a very nice synthetic insole, and have sneaker-like comfort - I can walk, work, and stand around in them all day. They have a wide and unstructured shaft, so they’re not great for ankle stability, but that’s my only gripe. I’ve beat the living heck out of the leather uppers, but I can still get them cleaned up to look respectable enough. Not high-end boots, but a super practical, fit for their intended purpose, ol’ faithful pair.Shop similar
