Very comfortable
Didn’t dislike anything
They fit good and look awesome. My husband loves them. They were his Christmas gift.
The insoul is super comfy, and the toe is tough. However, my foot tends to slip.
I put my boots through hell and I’m glad these have been doing the job.
I bought these in store, comfy and looked durable, but 3 weeks later and the heel is falling off my left boot. I normally wear the Intrepid Ventekk boots by Ariat and I was thinking I’d try something cheaper. Big mistake on my part. I’ll stick with my Intrepid boots. They did feel true to size, but the heel issue only after some light use is problematic enough for me I would not try them again.
Been having trouble with boots not being my type of DOUBLE “E” ordered different brands online and tried them all and my foot just won’t go in at all and bought these and they went right in!! Thank you ARIAT!!!
