Ariat is partnering with Bloom™ to use reclaimed algae in the soles of our Eco Ryders & Eco Cruiser shoes. Turning green water to clean water. Algae is the fastest growing plant on Earth, and the rise in global temperatures, excess nutrient runoff, and human activities have contributed to an uncontrollable rise in algae growth in ecosystems around the world—harming plant, animal, and even human life. Bloom converts excess algae biomass into lightweight, durable foam, replacing the plastic materials typically used in conventional soles. Eco Ryders & Eco Cruisers 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.

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.
