Ariat Wiley Cowboy Boots, $130 (was $270)
Why do we like this deal?
Nordstrom Rack’s Clear the Rack sale continues through July 9, giving shoppers an additional 25% off full price and discounts on clothing, shoes, and accessories. It’s a craze that’s causing inventory to dwindle, but keen buyers have noticed that some of the best deals aren’t technically even part of this sale. These classic Ariat cowboy boots are a good example – they’re not part of Ariat’s clearance styles, but they’re still over 50% off.
Normally priced at $270, the Ariat Wiley Cowboy Boots are now just $130 at Nordstrom Rack. They’re holding a 4.9-star rating after nearly three dozen reviews, and people are saying they “love” these shoes. They’re only available in black, but if you want more options there are a number of Ariat deals going on at the moment (like these Wiley Western boots that are also more than half off).

What shoppers need to know
- Upper: Leather with five-row stitching pattern and 11-inch shaft
- Midsole: All-day removable cushioning insole with TechStep cushioning
- Outsole: Resolable handmade leather sole with DuraTread heel
- Construction: Goodyear welcomed
- Best for: First Cowboy Boots, All Day Comfort, Classic Cowboy Boots
The 11-inch shaft and wide square toe give these boots a traditional cowboy look, and the five-row stitching keeps it in place from top to bottom. Below, ATS technology helps your feet adjust to uneven ground, supported by TechStep cushioning and a removable All Day insole, adding comfort that isn’t very common in traditional shoes like these. The leather itself also comes from a Leather Working Group-certified tannery.
Full-price western boots with Goodyear welt construction and resoleable leather soles run more than $250 because they are designed to be resoleable and wear for years. For $130, you’re getting a pair with similar construction standards that’s less than half the normal asking price, making it an especially great deal for those looking to get their first pair of cowboy boots.

what shoppers are saying
A supportive reviewer wrote, “They are the most comfortable pair I have ever owned, feel great and are very durable.” Many buyers also commented that they felt broken in right out of the box, like this person who wrote, “This boot required almost no break-in and was already soft.”
If you’ve never owned a pair of cowboy boots, Ariat is a great brand to start with: “My first pair of Ariat cowboy boots, and I really like them.” Another buyer wrote, “This was my first pair of Ariats. Very comfortable padding in the footbed. Good material used in the upper.”
Both first-time cowboy boot buyers and longtime fans will find something to like about the Ariat Wiley Cowboy Boots, especially at $130.
