Detailed Review
This boot excels in delivering exceptional comfort due to its 4LR technology, which is especially beneficial during long hours of riding or play. The wide-toe square design provides ample space for growing feet, making it an ideal choice for active children.
Moreover, the premium full-grain leather used in the construction gives the Ariat Heritage Roughstock an authentic look and feel while ensuring durability against wear and tear. The focus on safety with the TPR outsole is another strong point, reducing the risk of slips and falls, which is crucial for kids who are always on the move.
On the downside, while the pull-on design adds to its rustic charm, some parents may find it less convenient compared to traditional lace-up styles. Additionally, the limited size range could pose challenges for those looking for specific fits.

This is the second pair of this very boot just a larger size for my little grandson ( 5 yrs old)He loves wearing them and has no problem with the fit
WE LOVE ARIAT BOOTS! I buy a pair of Ariat boots for my grandson every year; this is the only brand we buy. The Western store in our town closed, and after calling various stores that sell Western boots, I found that nobody near us sells boots for kids anymore. So, amazon to the rescue. I didn't tell him that I had ordered new boots, and so when the box arrived w/ my name on it, I asked him to open it for me. He is 9 yrs old; wish you could have seen his FACE LIGHT UP WHEN HE SAW THE BOX!! It's hard to get the boots off of him to go to bed. No kidding, these are such great quality boots; real leather, great workmanship, sturdy soles, nice heel, comfortable fit, and they just look CLASSY!
we are a HUGE Ariat family! It is hard not to be when the product speaks for itself. I have Ariat boots that are two decades old and they look brand new. If you take care of your boots, your boots will take care of you.These boots are for my toddler and they are a perfect fit. they are easy to go on and super comfortable. he absolutely loves them and would sleep in them if we let him! haha
We bought these for our 9 year old boy who just went from a size 2 to a 3. First of all, right out the box and on his feet they went all day and he would have slept in them too had I let him. I did go up a 1/2 size from his size but only so he could have them longer. They fit pretty good with a thick pair of socks with room to grow. These cowboy boots are worth every penny. They are very well made. I searched online for awhile checking the different prices and quality of boots and after reading many comments I went with these. I didn't want to spend this much but then after reading reviews of the cheaper and less quality boots I didn't want to deal with cheaply made boots. Spend the extra money and be happy. We are very happy with these boots and our son loves them! WIN WIN FOR EVERYONE!!!
I like that these boots are all leather. They fit well and are nice looking on. My 5 yr old grandson likes pulling them on easily with the finger holes on the tops. I like the red stitching so he knows what boots are his from his brothers. I buy boots for my grandsons for the protection and support for their feet and ankles. We live on a farm and they wear them even at the skate park. I would advise investing in boot oil to protect the boot from weather. This particular grandson is hard on the toes (dragging his feet on swings and kicking things) but he is learning about caring for his boots. The last boots were not leather and he shredded them in no time. Boots are an investment.
My grandson loves them. But spendy for a boot with a one piece sole & heel.
Have purchased Ariats consistently for our boys and they have worn them until there are holes in the soles...the insert to make the boot bigger as they grow is a great plus. Depending on growth spurts the boot is good for two years with daily wear among our 8-13 year olds. They are pretty tough on their boots so the good quality is tested and Ariat always lives up to their reputation! Great boot all around.
Let me start off my saying I love Ariat products! I have owned many different brands of cowboy boots (even higher priced ones) and I always come back to Ariat. They are affordable and comfortable. Now on to this product... These are adorable and my daughter LOVES them. She is 3 so it is also nice to have something she is able to take on and off easily without help. I also feel better having a good boot on her when she is out with her pony. Oh, and she also looks adorable in them :) I plan to let my son use them when she grows out of them. They are perfect for a boy or girl! No regrets with this purchase! Thank you, Ariat for, again, making a great product!
