It’s hard to imagine how many hours the Horse & Hound team has spent in the saddle over the past year. In short – it’s an awful lot. So, when we tested the best long riding boots, you can be sure they were put well and truly through their paces. What’s more, when searching for the best Black Friday equestrian deals, we found the boots we loved the most are discounted.
The Ariat Heritage Contour II Field boots are so fabulous that several members of team H&H own a pair, and some of us (cough, me) aspire to. Our senior news writer Becky Murray was the guinea pig for our boot test. She gave them a maximum score of 10/10 in her review, which earned them ‘H&H Approved’ status.
Ariat Heritage Contour II Field Boots | Ariat
RRP £270
These boots are not discounted if you buy direct from Ariat, but we love them so much we’d still buy them at full price, so if you’re looking for a good range of sizes then this is where to head.
Ariat Heritage Contour II Insulated Field Boots | Ariat
RRP £300
These fab boots also come in an insulated version, so if you’re prone to cold feet, these ones are for you!
In her review, Becky gave these boots top marks for style, durability and performance, and loved the range of size and width options that meant the boots feel as close to made-to-measure as you can get. After the breaking in period, the boots gave a very comfortable fit.
I also spoke to our head of ecommerce and products guru Georgia Guerin, who’s had the same pair of Ariat Heritage Contour II Field boots for the past 10 years. According to Georgia, these are the ultimate boots. “They’ve been used pretty much daily since I got them, but they’re still full of life and look smart,” she told me. “When I do eventually retire them, I’m definitely investing in another pair.”
There are lots of live Black Friday deals for the Ariat Heritage Contour II Field boots, but these can vary depending on the size or colour you want. Whether you want to buy them for yourself or as a gift, don’t spend hours looking for the best Ariat Black Friday deals. We’ve got you covered here…

Our second best-rated Ariat boot is the Palisade long boot – our art editor Sophie Cheeseman tested these and gave them 9/10. They were also awarded H&H Approved.
The main difference between the Palisade and the Heritage Contour II is the white Ariat branding at the top and more modern overall look. They are also slightly more expensive with an RRP of £290. You can read Sophie’s Ariat Palisade review here.
