Using these Ariat boots is easy. Just slip them on and you're ready to take on your Western adventures. When wearing them, make sure to tie the laces properly for a secure fit. For maintenance, clean them regularly with a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. If they get wet, let them dry naturally away from direct heat. You can also apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather soft and supple. Avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals as it can damage the leather and the sole. With proper care, these boots will serve you well for a long time.
