Last year I posted a rave review about the Ariat "Winter" boots.  They 
were replaced with the Ariat "Extreme".  I must now say I am 
"Extreme"-ly disappointed with the change.  Here are the things I don't 
like about the "Extreme" that were perfect on the old model.

1. Hate that thick roll of fabric at the top.  It hurts the back of my 
leg.  Plus it makes the boot feel bulky and clunky.
2. Hate the way boot fits in the achillies area.  It rides too high & 
pinches.
3. The tongue is too short and too bulky.
4. They are not comfortable to walk in.
5. Hate the way they cause blisters on the outside of my heels.
6. Hate the way they don't even feel good when you are sitting down.


The old Ariat "Winter" style was a perfect boot.

The Extremes really suck.
