The Ariat Volant Collection


Thinking of buying a pair of boots from the Ariat Volant Collection?  Well, they certainly seem like nice riding boots, but for the price of $499.95, are they really worth it? The Ariat Volant Front-Zip Tall Boot, I have heard great things about, but unfortunately are an eyesore. Many reviews I have read say it’s like walking on a cloud and that it’s the most comfortable riding experience they’ve ever had.  So if you have the money, I say go for it! Just keep in mind that if you want to do showing with them, it would be wise to buy the $179.95 Ariat Volant Half Chap as well.  The red zipper curving down the front of the boot is not what I would call elegant.

If you’re looking for a more traditional looking boot that still has the comfort, I would go with the Ariat Volant Vented Back-Zip Tall Boot. Now while it is a back-zip, I’ve read that they are still mighty comfy. They still don’t have the look of a traditional field boot, but I have seen them in the jumper show ring, many people find that they are too “out there” for hunter and dressage. These boots are still $499.95, but no half chaps would be needed.

In the end, I would spend my money on a more traditional field boot, that won’t look so futuristic in the show ring.  But if you are someone who’s feet are always hurting, I highly recommend this boot to you. It seems to be well worth to money to most people, despite it’s odd look. I must say though, if you are thinking of buying this boot, I would definitely try some on first to assure that you purchase the right size and that you truly love them (which it seems as though most people do!)

I hope this info was helpful and that you find the perfect riding boot! Here are a few links to reviews and more information about the Ariat Volant Collection:
