Ariat Safety Boots For Top Quality Stylish Boots
The Ariat company was founded in 1990 by Beth Cross and Pam Parker. They realized that most boots were not comfortable for riding — they were stiff and heavy. The two ladies hired engineers and designers to produce the best boots in the marketplace. They sold their first pair of boots two years later.
The company has a large line of boots and shoes, but the Ariat safety boot is one of the companies top sellers. Ariat International is also America's number one English riding boot, western boot, and fastest growing safety boot company in the world. Ariat is now recognized as the official boot of numerous prestigious equestrian associations worldwide. The Ariat company believes in supporting the sport of riding at all levels. In their brief history they have sponsored over 10,000 local, regional, and national events as well as hundreds of athletes in their pursuit of equestrian excellence.
Ariat safety boots and shoes meet the general requirements of United States OSHA 1910.136(a): The employer shall ensure that each affected employee uses protective footwear when working in areas where there is a danger of foot injuries due to falling or rolling objects, or objects piercing the sole, and where such employee's feet are exposed to electrical hazards. Ariat safety boots are at the top of the list for meeting these stringent OSHA requirements.
Ariat safety boots are designed using the latest athletic shoe type technology and they offer the most advanced footwear for safety boots and shoes. Ariat's safety boots are made of top materials selected for both durability and looks. The boots are made of premium full grain leather and most of the Ariat footwear are unlined. They have a very stable chassis and an engineered distributed weight which promotes a proper walking gait for the wearer. Ariat boots stabilize the heel and arch and cushion the foot, this dramatically reducing stress and fatigue to the feet, the legs and lower back.
The Ariat safety boots use a boot welt made by Goodyear® and a Duratread™ outsole. Ariat safety boot soles are self-cleaning and non-tracking on carpets and floors due to the unique tread design. The composite boot toe is rated to the international standard American Society for Testing and Materials — ASTM F2413-05 M/1/75 C/75. The Ariat safety boots are also rated for general protection against electrical hazards found in the workplace.
As well as being designed for safety, most of the Ariat safety boots are stylish — only in some choices, such as boots used for working in heavy construction, the toe is a bit out of proportion because of the protective steel inside the toe. Ariat safety boots are designed for both men's and for women's use.
