Bought shoe for my dad. He is very rough on shoes and this brand is great for outside work. He loves the fit and durability. It’s a bonus that they are waterproof and not too heavy for the type of work he does. All over a great shoe for farmers.
These boots are the most comfortable I've ever owned. I had a pair and ordered these for if, or when, I wear them out, but...my blonde moment...I ordered the wrong size. If you are looking for a durable, warm and comfortable boot...look for no other. I always wear a size 12, and that's what I ordered...forgot I bought these in a size 13 originally, so when they arrived they were too small...you may want to go a size up IF you do get these. It was my fault.
I’ve used these Terrain boots now for almost a year. I’ve waited until now because I wanted to see how they’d hold up in all seasons before reviewing. These boots are simply fantastic. They are so comfortable, and the cushion has held up great. I’ve stepped in deep puddles in the rain, and they’ve kept my feet dry. I’ve gone snow tubing and my feet stayed warm. I’ve gone hiking in the woods, and they’ve kept my feet fresh and pain free. Truly one of my favorite pairs of shoes I own. I recommend them for anyone that needs boots.I’m pretty flat-footed and prefer a wide size when I can get it. Very happy that Ariat makes wide options at pretty much every size. I got a 12W and I haven’t had any issues in over 10 months.
These are my daily work shoes doing construction: ladder-climbing, operating machinery, miles of walking on the job site. Comfortable overall. The rubbery covering over the toe box has worn quicker than expected. The site can be damp and I've definitely trudged through wet grass, gravel, and crawled on dirt/mud but thankfully have not had water get into the boots even with what I'd call excessive wear on the toe box. I'd probably buy another pair when these boots get retired and more cautiously observe what part of my workflow is eating into the toe box rubber covering.
Love these boots all around so far except for one missing feature that would improve quality of life in some instances. For me, adding quick lace grommets to these boots would allow me to switch between steel toes, snake boots and chest waders much faster in the field at work. It doesn't seem like too much, but tying and untying double knots in the heat of a SC summer, while being swarmed by insects in a swamp can be slightly annoying. All other hiking boots I've owned have had the grommets that allow one to quickly take your boots on and off.Other than that nit-pick, the boots are great, waterproof as advertised (make sure you seal them) and very comfortable and roomy. My wide size also feels right on my big "hobbit feet".
There light and they last long. I use them forwork and home. Im jumping in and out of trucks making deliveries. In all weather conditions all day at work. I live in michigan. And my feet never got wet walking in rain and snow
My husband wears these boots to work. Long lasting boots
Initial review -- just short of 1 monthI use these boots to walk an active blackmouth cur 2-3 miles per day over a combination of sidewalk and occasionally steep rolling grass.The sole is firm. These boots aren't sneaker comfy, but they feel good and solid under the feet. Well suited to a lengthy ramble.The uppers aren't as high as they seem in the photo but ankle support is nevertheless very good. These boots help keep me upright when the dog is pulling the leash on a hillside.Waterproofing checks out: feet stay dry in tall grass right after a rain. May end up getting warm in summer but probably not intolerable.Very handsome looking boots.At first crack I love these! I don't think I'd take them on trails as they're "too nice" and also not knobby in the tread at all. But for frequent recreational walking they're doing great so far.Will check back at 6 months and a year to see how they hold up.
