Official Ariat description
The Ariat Burford boot combines the traditional look and use of a welly with a bit of added style and design. Created with waterproof, vulcanised rubber to ensure your feet stay dry, these wellies feature a shock absorbing EVA midsole for added all-day foot comfort. Utilising Ariat’s ATS Pro technology for heightened performance, the Burford has a moisture-wicking layer to deliver comfort and durability with Agion technology for intense odour defence and a 3.5mm neoprene lining to keep your feet warm during the cold winter months. The upper adjustable leather strap closure and leather trimmed top add a bit of style to the traditional look and the easy-off “heel kick” feature and Duratread outsole make these boots a necessity in your wardrobe for winter.

Jo’s first impressions
I thought these boots looked very stylish, fashionable and technical.
Overview of performance
These boots were very comfortable, had good foot balance and were particularly sturdy.
Jo’s likes and dislikes
I really like the style of these boots, but I would love the calf to be more fitted as it would make them that bit more practical as a work boot.
Verdict
These boots are perfect for a friend that is looking for a boot to wear out and about instead of a pure work boot.
