Crafted with a full-grain leather upper, it boasts elastic twin gore to allow easy entry and a durable antiqued brass YKK® zip closure for quick on/off. A padded collar offers added comfort while a moisture-wicking and breathable lining provides climate control. Fit Tips for Ariat® Paddock Boots Heritage Collection paddock boots with 4LR™ technology offer a less contoured footbed, which can be a great option for riders with flat feet. Going up one half-size will give you the width of a wide shoe. Lace-up styles are customizable. Consider a lace boot if you have skinny or larger ankles, high insteps and or prefer overall ankle support (beginners/kids).
