All our Eco shoes contain 50% or more sustainably sourced materials by weight, reducing our impact on the planet and helping protect our four-legged friends. Easy on your feet, easier on the environment.
We've partnered with BLOOM™ to use reclaimed algae in the soles of our BLOOM shoes. BLOOM takes excess algae, which would otherwise harm the planet, and transforms it into a lightweight, durable form, replacing the plastic materials used in conventional soles. BLOOM shoes deliver the style and comfort you love - in a more sustainable package.
Less water makes a world of difference. H2Lo denim styles utilize an innovative wash process that uses 50% less water than the typical process. Over the next few years, we’ll keep expanding this initiative to reduce water and energy consumption during our manufacturing process.
We’re proud to join forces with Cotton’s Blue Jeans Go Green™ denim recycling program that salvages worn denim and transforms it into natural cotton fiber housing insulation. This collaboration helps us keep textile waste out of landfills, and repurposes your old jeans as an effective insulation solution. Bring your worn denim into Ariat Brand Shops and Outlet Stores to receive $10 off your next pair of Ariat jeans.
At Ariat, we’ve been handcrafting boots for three decades and take pride in delivering products that are made to last – season after season. Our focus on durability and quality ensures you can wear your Ariat gear hard, and wear it longer, reducing materials that end up in landfills.
Our boots are built to last. Our partnership with NuShoe® ensures they do. NuShoe offers high-quality repairs, from zipper replacements to resoling, on most Ariat boots, so they stay out of landfills and on your feet longer.
World-class design and craftsmanship means every Ariat boot is built to last. Ariat Reboot makes it easy to sell and shop secondhand, helping our boots stay where they belong: in the stirrup, on the ranch, or by the door, waiting for their next adventure. When you resell your boots, you're not just making a sale, you're giving someone else the joy of owning a pair of Ariat boots—and helping us create a more sustainable world.
Ariat is committed to preventing unnecessary harm to the animals involved in our down product supply chain. We have established clear sourcing requirements to ensure 100% of our down products are derived from birds which were treated with respect.
For all down used in Ariat supply, Ariat has adopted the internationally recognized Five Freedoms standard, as our guiding principle for treatment of animals used in the production of these materials.
Ariat is committed to preventing unnecessary harm in our ethical wool product supply chain. We have established clear sourcing requirements to ensure our ethical wool products are derived from sheep which were treated respectfully.
For the wool used in Ariat’s ethical wool products, Ariat has adopted the internationally recognized Five Freedoms standard, as our guiding principle for treatment of animals used in the production of these materials.
Organic cotton is better for the planet—and for the farmers. Organic farming means no GMO seeds or toxic chemicals are used; instead, farmers use traditional techniques and natural solutions to manage pests. This helps build a healthier soil, reduce water and energy use, and keep the farmers and their families safe.
Using recycled polyester makes us less reliant on petroleum and allows us to divert plastic water bottles from landfills, helping cut down on soil contamination and air and water pollution. Recycled polyester also takes a lot less energy to produce, reducing our (and your) carbon footprint.
We work closely with fabric mills that are BLUESIGN approved, ensuring these fabrics are created with sustainably responsible resources and processes. The chemicals, processes, and materials we use demonstrate our commitment to protecting people and the environment.
Earth-friendly water resistance. EcoDRY™ technology offers protection against the elements without harmful, environmentally damaging chemicals.
Rice husks—the outer shells that surround each grain of rice—are usually thrown away after milling. To keep them from ending up in landfills, we blend them into a midsole and sole, creating an eco-friendlier base for our shoes. In the process, we're reducing waste and our use of petroleum-based materials.
For our Moresby boot collection, we developed a brand-new sole made of 30% recycled rubber—material that would have otherwise ended up in a landfill. Our Moresby boots are also made with responsibly sourced leathers, making them both stylish and sustainable.
We’re proud to be a part of the Leather Working Group, an organization dedicated to setting environmental standards within the leather manufacturing industry. We are committed to sourcing our leathers responsibly, partnering with Leather Working Group tanneries for the majority of our leathers, as well as working with all of our suppliers to improve their environmental stewardship.
