User Reviews
Size appears to be accurate. 11.5 fit good. Still working in after a week. Make sure you oil good before working in them.
Made by Ariat. Quality is why you pay for this boot. This boot fits excellent, its comfortable, it looks sexy and it functions as it should....a work boot. That's why I only buy Ariat. 100X recommend. Please make sure you check your size first though, it fits a little snug until you break them in, just like any boot so do not be alarmed if you slip it on and you feel like its squeezing your foot. I have other pairs and know my size and they all have done this brand new like any boot.
As far as steel-toed shoes go, this set of boots are by far the most comfortable pair I've worn to work. They are put together well enough to hold up to the wear and tear of working in the oilfield. I will definitely be buying these from here on out for work!
Best boots I ever worn, comfortable, last 2x longer then my therogood and 3x longer then redwing
I bought these boots and out of the box they were wonderful I have the same ones in non steel toe 2 years old and couldn’t be happier so I thought I would do the steel toe version for work. After only a couple weeks wearing these the heel had separated from the back, the threading has started to come undone and the boots no longer have the comfort they started out with. Very easy to wear boot just wish they would have lasted a lot longer. Ariat usually doesn’t disappoint and I can say for the cost of these there are a lot of better options
Cowboy boots iPhone this is by far been one of the best boots and the most comfortable boots that I have ever home. One issue that I do have with them is it states that they are slip resistant and I find that not true the only thing it has absolutely no grip on whatsoever is ice. I slipped down on ice and fractured my wrist in three different spots but overall I think the food is excellent
I go through a ton of work boots and these are by far the best pair I have purchased. Extremely comfortable.The run a tad big so I'd go a 1/2 size down for break in.
I received the boots in a genuine ARIAT box but the bag around it was absolutely shredded, the boots looked like they’d been unwrapped and the inside packaging was completely disheveled. I was really hopeful for these since they were said to “run large” but even though a 12 normally fits fine the 12 wide was just too small. I don’t think any of this is the fault of the seller, but amazons shipping of large items like this leaves a bit to be desired here.
