User Reviews
I bought these shoes on a whim. I am a crazy shoe woman, I love some shoes!! I love the Ariat brand, I have lots!! Once opening, I was blown away of the vibrant colors. The shoe itself is made of leather top, the bottom is a soft, kinda like hey dudes but better quality. The leather top is a beautiful brown color with the teal color trim. Excellent quality leather, which I didn’t expect anything less from Ariat. These shoes actually have arch support. I love the beautiful design on these shoes. I wore them around my house for a lil bit with no shoe socks, no slipping in the heal and the shoes didn’t eat my sock, lol. These shoes are going to take some time to break in, I did notice that right off the bat. They are stiff. I do believe these will be very durable and last for many years. They are super cute! These are step above the heydude brand! I loves them already. I am going to wear them around my house for a few weeks to break them in, so glad I took the plunge and purchased these. Highly recommend and they are super cute!!!!
Cute and comfortable! Good cushion on the bottom. Arch support is comfortable.Light weight, not a bulky heavy shoe.True to size. Tops are stiff so they don’t cave in and and fold when putting them on.
Very good arch support. Needs longer shoestrings. They do a little swirly thing with the strings that leave the shoes flopping on your feet. Once you tie the shoes, the laces are too short.
These shoes didn't quite hit the sweet spot for me – felt a tad snug, not the right fit for my funky feet. Gotta hand it to them, though – the packaging is exquisite and the shoes? Top-notch quality. Insides are cushy, and they're more stable than Hey Dudes. I’m truly bummed they're not my Cinderella fit, but blame it on my quirky feet, not the kicks. Don't let my foot fiasco stop you from giving these a shot!
These soles are absolutely comfy and the print is cute. The material seems sturdy which is great, but the back is stuff and it rubs my ankle pretty good. I know it’ll soften as they break in, but it hurts! For now. Also, if you’re between sizes, definitely size up, unless you have very narrow feet.
Fit true to size so I should have gotten my size instead of 1/2 size larger. So cute and comfortable. I get lots of complements!
I love my shoes. They’re cute and they’re extremely comfortable. I have a lot of hey dudes and these have much better arch support.
These shoes fit perfectly to size, are very comfortable and look fantastic!
