Ariat Work Boots in Ariat(54)

Are all work boots basically the same?

There are several types of work boots, designed to perform best according to specific work environments. Steel-toed boots, for example, are important for construction workers and other people working with nails, sharp metal, heavy equipment, and other potentially dangerous materials. Check the height of the boots, the strength of the soles and toes, and waterproofing when choosing work boots for your specific purpose.

How long will leather boots last?

High-quality leather boots can last 10 to 15 years as working boots. For the most durable, review product details to make sure the material is full-grain leather with triple-stitched reinforced seams.

Should I choose rubber or leather-soled boots?

The soles of your boots should best match the type of activities you will be doing while wearing the boots. Leather soles without grip are made for cowboy boots, as the lack of grip allows you to remove your feet from the stirrups of a horse saddle quickly. Boots for hiking or building jobs require much better traction with rubber soles.
