These boots are the real deal! Goodness, are these just amazing. The Ariat Heritage Contour Tall Riding Boot is classic, high end feeling, yet affordable. These boots are the ‘older’ style, with scalloped detailing over the toe. These are a slimming boot, giving the appearance of a longer leg. Stiffener down the back, reducing fall. Comfortable footbed, zipper on the back of the boot with stretch panels on either side of the zipper, high tensile zipper. Rubber sole that holds up and gives ample stirrup grip. These were a store model, not seeing any use other than trying on. In fact, the size sticker on the sole is still there. Literally pristine and includes the original retail price of $549.95. In Men’s size 7, however these have a great, unisex fit and look and fit like a Women’s 8. Standard calf, standard height. Offered for way, way less than retail!
