•  First and Foremost is the Cobalt XR The footbed in the XR disperses shock and reduces impact. There is a molded nylon footbed with arch and heel supports. Wide composite forked shank for stability and comfort. There is a composite insert to extend support to the forefoot while maintaining flexability! The specially formulated EVA/ Rubber propulsion grid heel provides rebound and energy return.
• There is the Cobalt which features a slatted composite insert that extends stability from mid foot to the forefoot for increased balance on the ground or in the stirrup. There is a gel insert at the forefoot and heel and a moisture wicking sock liner. the composite shank is lightweight and it does not conduct heat, cold or electricity. The precision fork shaped shank offers the ability to maintain balance and stability. The best thing is the Gel molded heel spring...this reduces stress on heels, knees, hips, and lower back. The EVA strike pad in the heel area provides extra cushioning for comfort all through the day.
• The ATS comfort package offers a gel cushioned forefoot and the moisture wicking liner. There is a molded orthotic that supports the arch and heel. There is still a composite shank that is in the shape of a Y to offer unilateral support and cradle your feet during the day. There is a duratread outsole for outstanding durability!
• The 4LR is the most basic comfort package available and the boots with this feature still have a cushioned footbed with a moisture wicking liner and the composite shank is wide and long to prevent metatarsal stress and helps to maintain balance.

This is the Ariat Technology in a nutshell and it is fascinating to me how much thought and technology goes into each boot this company makes! Ariat is synonymous with quality, comfort, and style!
