Ariat’s ATS technology supports and cushions as you move, promoting good posture and reducing fatiguefort technology is what we love about Ariat boots At the core of ATS technology is the Ariat ATS composite shank. This patented shank design reduces skeletal and muscular fatigue and injury. Mid-foot support reduces metatarsal stress. The forked shank design allows natural forefoot flex. The ATS footbed has a low-friction surface to protect from heat build-up and blistering. Shock-absorbing gel forefoot cushion reduces skeletal impact stress on knees, hips and lower back. Cupped footbed chassis offers torsional stability. These Stillwater cowboy boots feature a brown caiman belly leather vamp under a fancy stitched 13″ leather shaft. Leather lining.
