Ariat Heritage IV Zip Short Riding Boots Black

Checking out all-rounder boots for riding, yard work and general daily use?

When you need a versatile workhorse, Heritage IV Zip boots from Ariat are a cut above the rest for keeping your feet comfy throughout a lengthy day around horses. What makes the difference?

Firstly, the zip-up style, using a durable YKK antique zipper, fits well, looks great and is very practical. The zip makes the boots easy to put on and creates a close but comfortable fit. It also means the boots are less likely to bag round the ankle after long-term use.

The black full-grain leather upper looks superb, too. Inside the boot there’s a breathable lining that wicks away moisture to keep you cool, fresh and comfortable when you’re busy with the horses. The built-in heel cushion supports your heel and is part of the boot’s shock absorption system.

That’s only the beginning. The heel’s interior has an engineered landing system to create additional protection each time your heel hits the ground when you’re walking.

What’s more, the Duratread™ outersole is one of the toughest of boot treads. This sole has special traction zones based on research into the wear and tear on equestrian boots when they’re in daily use.  Then, Ariat’s 4LR™ technology adds to the comfort when you’re riding.

Uniquely, the boots also have a stabilising lateral motion control device for balance in the stirrups.

Wear these superb all-round performers on the yard and for hacking and longer distance riding, with and without chaps.
