Detailed Review
When considering a work boot, several factors come into play: comfort, durability, waterproofing, and overall support. The Ariat Men's Endeavor 6" Waterproof Work Boot excels particularly in comfort, thanks to its Energy Max rebound foam insole and FLX Foam midsole. These components work together to deliver exceptional cushioning, which is essential for individuals who spend long hours on their feet.
Durability is another strong point for the Endeavor boot. The waterproof PRO construction is made from high-quality full-grain leather, making it suitable for various environments, whether you're trudging through muddy workplaces or embarking on outdoor explorations. Additionally, the rubber sole provides excellent grip, minimizing slips and falls.
While the soft toe design offers some level of protection, it may not meet the demands of environments with heavy materials. This could be a drawback for those needing reinforced toe caps in more hazardous conditions. Another consideration is the shaft circumference, which might fit snugly for those with broader calves.
In summary, the Ariat Men's Endeavor 6" Waterproof Work Boot presents a fantastic choice for individuals seeking comfort and waterproof reliability without sacrificing style. While it may lack in certain protective features, it stands out as an impressive option for everyday wear and moderate work situations.

Well made boots that fit well & wear well
Awesome boots
Boots are super comfortable even being on my feet for 10 12 hours straight I have no complaints.
I wear these boots everyday at least 12 hours a day. They are comfortable, durable and very well made. This is my second pair, and as long as they keep making them, this will be my only choice going forward.
I’ve only left a few reviews but these get one, they only lasted me 8 months but I put them threw the ringer… I worked in them daily and used them as hiking boots, boulder hoping, peak baggin, even had crampons on them… the last peak was 18 miles (mount Ritter) and I blew a seam on them… I’ll be ordering another pair…
Very cheap feeling boot, not a very good foot feel to them, and the tongue needs to be padded differently because the sides cut into your ankle when tied on
I had something similar to this boots but this one I'm never buying again ,they make my feet sweat alot and water comes in the boots
I have been wearing these most every day for almost two years. I wear them for construction work and farm chore work. They are super comfortable, insanely durable, and fairly waterproof, especially for the first year or so. I beat them senseless and they haven't so much as lost a stitch. I used to wear Keen boots, and while they were OK for a few months, they rapidly fell apart and/or the footbed became uncomfortable as it broke down. These Ariats are as comfortable as the day I got them. Also, they weren't too bad to wear in the summer, but keep my feet warm enough in the winter on the job. I can't recommend them highly enough!
