Ariat Men's Footwear

Frequently Asked Questions

• How should I size Ariat men's boots and shoes?

  Measure your foot length and width and check the specific Ariat size chart for the model you’re buying; many Ariat styles run true to size but can vary between casual shoes, hiking shoes, and work boots. For work boots or insulated models, consider sizing up if you wear thick socks or plan to add an aftermarket insole; for slim leather or dress styles, choose the size that matches your barefoot measurement for best fit.
• What is Ariat’s ATS technology and how does it affect comfort and stability?

  ATS (Advanced Torque Stability) is Ariat’s footbed and midfoot support system that combines a contoured insole with a stability shank to reduce foot fatigue and improve balance under load. It provides shock absorption and arch support that helps during long days on your feet or when working on uneven terrain.
• How do Ariat Rebar work boots compare to Ariat Heritage Western boots?

  Rebar work boots prioritize durability and job-site performance with reinforced stitching, heavy-duty leather, slip- and oil-resistant Duratread outsoles, and many models available with safety-toe options. Heritage Western boots emphasize traditional western styling, riding-oriented fit, and premium leathers for a dressier look and feel, so choose Rebar for tough work and Heritage for classic western wear.
• Which Ariat styles are best for ranch work, hiking, and all-day standing?

  For ranch and heavy labor, choose Rebar or Pro-series work boots with reinforced construction and Duratread outsoles for traction and durability. For hiking or trail use, select Ariat hiking/trail shoes with lugged outsoles and cushioned midsoles built for varied terrain. If you stand all day, look for models featuring the ATS support system and cushioned footbeds to reduce fatigue.
• What’s the best way to clean and maintain Ariat leather boots?

  Brush off dirt and mud, wipe with a damp cloth, and let boots dry naturally away from direct heat; use a dedicated leather cleaner for tougher grime. Condition full-grain leather periodically with a quality leather conditioner, apply a suitable waterproofing treatment on seam areas if needed, and store with boot trees or stuffed to retain shape.
