About the product
The Ariat Ignite Laced Ladies’ Waterproof Trainers are designed with extreme comfort in mind. These trainers provide cushy, breathable protection for you to wear all day long.
Designed with the specially formulated FLX Foam™ midsole for lightweight cushioning and rebound. The HDry® waterproof construction keeps these waterproof in all weather. These trainers have a mesh upper material to keep them breathable and a front lace fit system to keep them secure.
What were your first impressions?
“From the outset, the product stood out. It has a sleek but eye-catching design. They are lightweight, with no gap between the laces and the inner area of the trainer as part of the water-resistant design. The blue contrasts with the black, highlighting the style of the shoe.”
How was the sizing & fit?
“One of the main reasons for choosing these trainers was due to the half sizes available, I went for a 7.5 and the trainers fit perfectly. They took one wear to mould to my feet, feeling a little tight across the broader part of my foot until they softened with wear. They are true to size, and luckily cut low on the inner and outer ankle allowing for my thicker ankle from an old break.”
How did you test the product?
“I have thoroughly tried these out for the last month before writing my review. They have been in the arena, on the beach, to the moors, and in the horse fields! I wear these trainers daily in the office and while we are out shooting Tiktoks or chasing riders around their yards or cross country courses.”
What was your favourite feature?
“I really like the water-resistant quality of the trainer, it’s extremely handy to have a shoe that works in all the elements, and withstands dewy grass in the crisp autumn mornings. The special HDry® waterproof construction keeps my feet dry!”
Any other comments?
“These trainers are extremely comfortable. The specially formulated FLX Foam™ midsole makes these a dream to wear and helps stop fatigue. These are great for outdoor adventures or indoor exercise.”
