Expensive but this is the only brand that actually holds up. My son plays hard. He wears these 24/7. This is his second pair after he grew out of the first pair. Other brands only lasted a month before falling apart. These boots are made to last and can easily be past down. We get them a size bigger so we can get a full year out of them.
My 8 year old can wear out boots so only time will tell about it's TRUE durability. So far, they are holding up well. He wears them out in the woods and into the church. They are comfortable and easy to put on for a child. These are ideal for being versatile and water proof.
Price so much better than at retail stores locally. Purchased these for my 11yr old. These are his second pair as he loved the first pair so much he wore them for ever. They are great quality and will last a long time; your kids feet will grow fast than they will grow out of these boots.My sons last pair were a 4, they were so comfy and stretched over time with his feet that he didn't even realize they were getting too small. This time we purchased a 5 and they were perfect. He recommends them and says they are the most comfortablest boots he has ever worn. Even at age 11 he has gone through lots and lots of cowboy boots, they are all he wears and is very hard on them.
I actually found these boots at our local farm supply store, but they did not have the size we needed. These were actually a little cheaper and they were not tried-on by other kids and scuffed like you would get at a brick-and -mortar store. I am super happy with the quality and my son (age 5) says that these were very comfortable. These should last a long time.
My 9 year old loves them. They seem to be made well.
This is my sons 6th pair of these exact boots because he absolutely will not wear anything else! They are very comfortable, durable, and long lasting for the price! He wears each pair about a year and when he outgrowns them, I clean them up and pass them down because they are still in great condition! And believe me, my son wears them religiously....even with shorts in the summer!
Got these for my son for Christmas. They sent the wrong size, but as the first pair of boots I bought him already had to be sent back, I decided to keep them. He will grow.Additionally, though, they do run large. We even went and tried on other Ariat boots at a local store before placing our online order. He will still wear them, but says he can't run because they will fall off.
