What can I wear with my Ambush Western Boots?
Everyday casual
These boots pair easily with straight or bootcut jeans and a relaxed tee or lightweight button-up. Add a simple leather belt and you’re sorted for errands or a casual arvo out.
Work or yard days
Wear them with heavy denim or canvas work pants and a long-sleeve work shirt. They’re easy to kick on and off thanks to the elastic sides, which is handy after a long day on your feet.
Cooler weather or dress-casual
Pair them with dark denim or moleskin pants, a flannel or chambray shirt, and a jacket or vest. They're a smart option for cooler days or casual nights out.
FAQs
Do these boots fit true to size?
Yes. Ariat boots generally run true to size. The Ambush comes in an EE width, which suits wider feet or anyone who prefers a bit more room.
Are they comfortable for all-day wear?
They are. Ariat’s 4LR™ system gives decent cushioning and support, making them suitable for long days standing or walking.
How should I care for the leather?
Brush off dirt regularly and wipe with a damp cloth when needed. Use a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple. Let them air dry if wet — no heaters or sun.
Are these boots waterproof?
They’re not fully waterproof, but treating them with a leather protector will help with water resistance for wet paddocks or light rain.
What socks work best?
We recommend thicker bamboo or wool blend boot socks for cushioning and moisture control.
Are these suitable for work or mainly casual?
They’re well suited to light work, yard jobs and everyday wear. For heavy riding or full-on stock work, a taller traditional riding boot may be a better option.
