Ariat Windermere Boots Review
Review
Even thought it feels as though everybody knows about these boots, it turns out they don’t so here’s our Ariat Windermere boots review:
What can you say about the Ariat Windermere that hasn’t already been said? They are the go-to country boots for thousands of girls around the country for many reasons; comfort, waterproofing, style, quality etc. The main reason I wear them is comfort. They really do feel like slippers but with the benefit of still having plenty of ‘feel’ for when you’re riding. I also like the fact that you can slip them on and off relatively easily as there’s no laces – Ariat provide a boot horn for getting them on and we really recommend using this, it might sound like a pain but really will prolong the life of the boots. (there’s a little ridge above the back of the heel which helps them fit to the shape of your foot but it ends up protruding if your heel pushes it down every time you put them on)
Technology wise, they utilise Ariat’s 4LR (4 Layer Rebound) footbed which, although being their entry level tech, is extremely comfy even when worn for long periods of time. The most consistent feedback we get about the Windermeres is how comfy they are so it certainly works. The waterproof full-grain leather and suede upper ensures they keep your feet bone dry
In terms of what they are good for, I wear them as a general yard boot for mucking out but also I like the comfort of them for riding, plus it means I don’t have to mess around changing footwear. They are a nice snug fit and don’t bag too much like some other boots I’ve used in the past and also include a medial stretch panel to give a bit of flexibility/extra room. We can supply these in full calf fit too so please get in touch if you need those.
They are also ideal for walking/dog walking as they are waterproof and the footbed is really soft and comfy. We’re finding more and more people buying these for general walking/watching the rugby type activities. All in all, a great product for every day use. They look really smart with jeans/denim breeches! The black colour option is a welcome adition from Ariat as it’s always difficult to get black country boots and it opens up a whole world of new country wardrobe posibilities.
