Is the Ariat PrimeTime good for riding?

It is built with ATS support for uneven ground and a horseman heel, so it works for light riding and arena use. It is not a heavy-duty work boot.

How does the PrimeTime fit compared with other Ariat boots?

The wide square toe gives extra room up front. Shoppers with narrow feet often size down or add a thicker sock.

What is the heel height?

The horseman heel is 1.375 inches, a standard western height that sits well in a stirrup.

What is the shaft height?

The shaft is 12 inches tall, which reaches mid-calf on most wearers.

Is the insole removable?

Yes. The Pro Performance insole lifts out, so you can swap in your own orthotic.
