When it comes to comfort, the Ariat Womens Fatbaby Heritage Tess Western Boot does not disappoint. The mesh lining enhances breathability, making it perfect for long days spent on your feet. The Pro Crepe Light outsole provides exceptional cushioning that supports your stride whether you're in the saddle or on solid ground.
Regarding style, these boots elevate any outfit. The Tortuga/Crema color scheme adds a touch of sophistication while maintaining that classic western charm. You can easily pair these boots with jeans, skirts, or even shorts for a versatile look.
While many users rave about the overall comfort and aesthetic appeal, it's important to note that some might experience a slight break-in period due to how fitted the boots are around the calf area. If you have wider calves, be mindful of the shaft circumference, as it measures 10.5 inches.

User Reviews
I was looking for an inexpensive pair of boots that I could use for everyday wear that were comfortable. These fit that bill. I was able to wear them all day the first day and we were walking trails. They never rubbed my feet anywhere. They ran true to size for me and the color was perfect. Liked them so well I came back and ordered a black pair just like them.
I love this boot! I need a sturdy boot that isn’t to heavy. This is the 3rd pair I have bought. They last a long time. I wear this boot 6 days a week. They are comfortable and will mold to your feet. The last pair I got held up great. I wore them for 4 years. The leather is still good but the sole wore slick but after that much wear it is expected. The price is reasonable and I consider them the best work boot for my job. They are also nice to wear casually with jeans.
The color is rich. There is ample room inside the boot. It even fits a Woman with large calves, which was not mentioned in the description. I bought them for my daughter who has wanted a pair since she was a little girl. All of the cowgirl boots were tight around the calves. These are roomy without looking geeky. She loves them and wears them every day. The best part is the rubber sole. They can stand up to snow on the ground. Best boot ever.
Ariat Fatbabys are my go-to boot for work, and going to town, whether shopping or meeting friends. I appreciate that I can order my size and they always fit. They are very comfortable to wear. I certainly recommend Ariat Fatbabys.
These boots are great. I bought them for my daughter and she loves them. This is her second pair.
Super comfortable and I get a lot a compliments on the style. Def worth the money and adding to my collection of Ariat boots.
I loved them so comfortable to wear
You pay more, but you get good quality boots. A month of everyday wear at Equestrian camp for my daughter, these boots are barely scuffed. Mucking, tacking, riding, not to mention running around and having fun, her boots took a licking and are in great shape. It rained a LOT, so they got wet, but her feet didnt. Left to dry and they were good to go. Some of her bunkmates got the $50 knockoffs, the rain did them in.
