Although Ariat boots are made well, you will still need to properly care for your cowboy and riding boots if you want them to last a lifetime!

The company recommends owners clean, condition, and polish their boots regularly. Ariat does not make cleaning products. Instead, it recommends shoe care brands Cadillac and Kiwi.

Once they are clean and thoroughly dry, use a leather conditioner by rubbing it into the leather in small circles starting at the bottom of the boot.

Then, use polish in the same way you used conditioner. Before cleaning, make sure you check Ariat’s guidance for specific care instructors for your boots.

Different types of leather, such as suede, may require different types of leather conditioner and polish. You may enhance and prolong the level of water resistance in your boots with waterproofing sprays.

Whether you are looking for a pair of boots for riding or work, Ariat has a great selection of quality boots to choose from.

America is known for its love of western or cowboy boots, so many assume that all these boots are made in the United States.

Although some Ariat boots are made in the US, many of their boots and products are also made in Mexico, Asia, and Europe. No matter where the boots are made, the design and quality of their boots remain consistent.
