I was really excited to get my order, and read the couple of reviews! But man was I disappointed! First off, the box where the boots came looked damaged. When I pulled the boots out, they looked as if they have been used. They had scuffs all around, and the bottom was somewhat dusty. Then on the stitching, it look as if it was ready to come off. This really sucks because I was planing on using the next day for a country concert.<br />I don't know if they boots was used or what, but I paid for a new pair of boots, and I was expecting much better  quality. Yes, I have other pairs of Ariats, that's why I was shocked!
