Re:: RE: Ariant boot quality




I have pair of Ariats and like them, but for the last 8 years I have a pair of
believe it or not, Capezio paddock boots and absolutely love them, after this
long they look awful and have had one resoling but for comfort they are the 
tops.


Have never been able to find another pair as I don't really think Capezio 
regularly makes
paddocks but if I ever do I will buy them out.
