Detailed Review
Your work environment demands a boot that performs as hard as you do. The Ariat Mens Rebar Flex excels in this regard. Designed for supreme waterproofing, you won't have to worry about wet conditions ruining your day. A notable feature is the internal impermeable barrier that keeps moisture out, allowing you to focus on your tasks rather than your feet.
The composite toe adds an extra layer of safety. It meets ASTM standards, ensuring that your toes are protected from potential impacts. Unlike steel-toed options, the composite material is lighter, giving you mobility without sacrificing protection.
Comfort is not overlooked in the design of the Rebar Flex. Featuring anatomical construction alongside a cushioned EVA midsole, each step feels supported. The Four Layer Rebound Technology enhances this experience, making it feel like you're walking on clouds throughout your busy workday.
Additionally, the Duratread outsole offers impressive slip resistance, essential for various terrains. You can confidently navigate different surfaces, whether they’re slippery or uneven. The stylish rye brown and olive green color scheme adds an appealing western aesthetic that sets it apart from typical work boots.

User Reviews
Feel good on my feet after a long day at work
Great boots, had them for about 4 months in plant work / rubber lining, durable , waterproof but a waterproof spray on them won't hurt. Great for standing all day and very light . 10 star 🌟
Son is on his feet 12 hours a day. He says these are great. Bought extra inserts. They look good.
Other than being a little warm because these are water proof I have no complaints. I ordered the exact size I would in a dressier cowboy boot and they fit well without stretching too large after breaking in. Water proof, good traction, decent comfort. I'm on my feet 12 hours a day and in mixed weather conditions (rain, snow, ice, dirt etc.). They are not uncomfortable but they are not a 5 star for comfort. I thought the fact these had such a good sale they would be junk but I was proven wrong. I see some other mixed reviews but these boots are holding up and I'm very rough on them at work.
As a 12 hour shift worker. I can say that this boots provide all comfort to your feet you need to perform your duties
Very well made and a lot less foot fatigue after 12+ hrs than previous boots..
EDIT: reduced to 1 star after under a year of normal use. Rear sole starting to separate, stitching on side of boot ripped, inside liner separated making it difficult to remove boots at the end of the day and to top all of that off, the waterproofing is totally gone. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THESE BOOTS!Very narrow. I don't have wide feet and never worried about width. Normal D width has always fit fine. These started off extremely narrow but have broken in a little in the month I've wore them. Other than that, a very good boot for the money.
Great, working boot for hiking, etc.Very very comfortable.
