I bought the new paddock boots that Anytime Tack is selling. I might be wrong but they feel sturdier and better put together than Ariat. For the price I paid I figured I would be happy with 1 year. I just needed something cheap and quick, for the time being, and if they lasted 2 years it would be even better. Now that I’ve worn them, I can say they are really comfortable and I feel like they might hold up better than the name brands. It will be interesting to see how this plays out but so far I really like them.
