Ariat for Australian Conditions

Ariat has earned a genuine following among riders and country people across Australia, and it's not hard to understand why. The brand delivers on the specific needs of equestrians, campdrafters, and working stockpeople - gear that performs in the saddle and beyond it. Our Ariat clothing range at Allingtons Outpost brings the full collection to South Australia.

The Tech Ariat Difference

Ariat was built around the performance demands of riders - specifically the challenge of spending long hours on horseback or on your feet in the arena. The brand's ATS (Advanced Torque Stability) technology delivers the support, stability, and cushioning of an athletic shoe inside traditional Western construction, solving a problem traditional boot-making never adequately addressed. 

Every Ariat piece is designed to move with the rider, not against them - and that philosophy runs through the clothing as clearly as it does the boots.

Ariat Western Footwear

The most celebrated corner of the Ariat range in Australia is the footwear - specifically the Ariat Western boots that have become a familiar sight at campdraft events, equestrian competitions, and on working properties from the Top End to Tasmania. 

Built around the specific demands of riders and working country people, Ariat boots incorporate the ATS sole system that brings serious underfoot support to a boot that looks exactly as it should at the rail or in the arena. The range spans multiple styles and heights - from classic Western pull-on designs to versatile options that carry the same quality off the horse and into everyday country life.

You won't visit a country music festival, a Ute Muster, or a Rodeo without seeing a pair of Ariat Boots either. Even on the city streets, Ariat Western Boots can adapt to any lifestyle.

Ariat Clothing and Hats

Beyond footwear, Ariat's clothing range covers the jeans, shirts, and technical pieces that riders and country workers have come to rely on. The brand builds performance details into every garment - stretch panels in jeans for movement in the saddle, reinforced seat construction for durability on horseback, and fabrics that handle Australian conditions without complaint. 

Complementing the clothing, Ariat's hats bring the same quality to Western-style headwear - properly shaped, well-finished, and as comfortable at the local show as they are out in the paddock. The kind of hat that looks right because it is right.

Ariat Gear and Accessories

For riders who need to carry their kit to the ground, Ariat's gear bags bring the same quality construction and Western aesthetic to the bags you take to competitions and events - built for the kind of heavy, regular use that competition life demands. 

For the everyday carry, Ariat's wallets are finished to the same standard as the rest of the range - practical, well-made, and carrying that distinctive brand quality in a smaller package. From the ground up, it's a complete kit.

Frequently asked questions

What is Ariat, and where are Ariat boots and clothing made?

Ariat is a western and equestrian brand founded in the USA in 1993 to bring athletic footwear technology, like its ATS support system, into western boots. Ariat footwear is designed and developed in California, then made by approved factory partners in countries including Mexico, China, Vietnam, Indonesia and India, depending on the style. Ariat clothing is also manufactured internationally. Country of origin varies between products, so check the label inside your boots or the care label on a garment. Learn more about where Ariat boots are made and the history of Ariat western boots.
What Ariat boots, shoes, and clothing does Allingtons stock?

Allingtons stocks a broad Ariat range for men, women and kids. Footwear includes men's western boots, women's western boots, kids' boots, casual shoes and slip-ons like the Hilo and Cruiser, and Ariat work footwear with steel, composite or carbon toes. Not every Ariat work boot is certified to AS/NZS 2210.3, so check the listing and your site rules if you need compliant safety footwear. The Ariat clothing range covers shirts, tees, jeans, jackets, vests and hoodies, alongside caps, belts, buckles, wallets and gear bags. Styles and sizes change regularly, so check each listing for current stock.
Do Ariat boots and clothing run true to size for Australian buyers?

Ariat boots are generally true to size, so don't size up as a rule. Ariat uses US sizing, so the number on the box will differ from your usual Australian size. Measure both feet standing, go with the larger foot, and use the chart for the specific style, as western, riding and work boots are built on different lasts. Ariat clothing charts are also in US sizes, so compare your chest, waist and hip measurements. Our Ariat boots sizing guide and Ariat size charts cover both, and unused items in original packaging can be exchanged within 14 days under our returns policy.
What sizing does Ariat use, and how do I convert US sizes?

Ariat uses US sizing for men's, women's and children's footwear. Our Ariat size chart converts UK and European sizes to US. Men's US sizes sit one size above UK and Australian sizes, so a UK 9 is a US 10. Women's US sizes sit about two and a half sizes above UK, so a UK 5 is a US 7.5. Many boots also come in widths, such as D or EE for men and B or C for women. For clothing, the chart covers denim waist sizes plus chest, waist and sleeve measurements. The Ariat boots sizing guide explains how to measure.
Are Ariat products suited to riding and work as well as everyday wear?

Ariat makes equestrian, work and everyday gear, but suitability depends on the specific product. If you ride, choose boots designed specifically for equestrian use, such as the Ariat Womens Heritage Zip Paddock Boots, and don't use any boot for riding unless the manufacturer explicitly states it's intended for that purpose. For work, not every Ariat work boot is certified to AS/NZS 2210.3, so check the listing and your site rules before buying for a site that requires compliant footwear. The WorkHog Western Steel Toe is one certified style. Most Ariat western boots, shoes and clothing suit everyday wear too.
How do I care for Ariat leather boots and apparel?

For leather boots, brush off dirt after each wear, wipe smooth leather with a damp cloth and condition it regularly so it doesn't dry out or crack. Distressed leather needs a distressed leather conditioner like Fiebing's Distressed Leather Conditioner, while regular wax or polish can change its finish. Suede is best maintained with a suede brush, along with a suitable cleaner and protector. Air dry wet boots away from heaters. For clothing, follow the care label, as instructions vary: many shirts are washed on a delicate cycle with like colours, while some pieces call for dry cleaning.
