Very well kept Ariat Women’s boots! I have worn them 3 times: concert, wedding and rodeo event. Never worn in rain or rough conditions. Bottoms are barely worn in, as seen in the picture! When I wore these to a wedding, they were easily paired with a dress. For the rodeo event, I wore them with jeans and the concert I wore them worn a different dress. Many options for these boots!! They do have a little taller shaft, but it still hits a good bit below the knee.
