ARIAT Darlin Western Boot

Have been waiting a while for these women’s Darlin black western bootlets to be available in my size (8 wide). Was well worth the wait! They are so beautifully styled and fit perfectly. The 8 wide was big enough to zip up my ankles and lower calves. You can wear these anywhere - dressed up for the evening or dressed down for your favorite jeans!

So super bummed - I had my eye on these boots for the longest time, and even though ariat is a well known and trusted brand, I just couldn’t pull the trigger when they were $150. So when I saw them on sale I jumped and was oh so happy! Well, I’ve only worn these boots twice for a total of 3 hoursish and obviously I wasn’t walking around that whole time at all - so minimally that the tread is still in perfect condition - and when i took them off last night I saw that the outside of the side of one is peeling off!!! Does that mean it’s not real leather?? I don’t know but because of jumping onIt and then only wearing them for these special occasions I’m way outside the return window. I’m seriously disappointed and feel like they must not be real ariats?? I’m going to contact ariat and see if there’s anything they can do or any suggestions they have because I still dropped $100 on these boots and there’s absolutely no reason they should betray me this way ... why, boots, whyyyy?(I’ll upload pics later)

After finding these boots in a wide width, I am happy. They are good quality, well-made, comfortable and fun to wear!
