User Reviews
Love these boots! Actually, I live in the northeast and resemble a cowgirl about as much as disco music resembles country music....you can see the similarities, right? This is my second pair of Fatbaby Boots. The first pair were purchased on a whim "gently used" from a seller on that most popular auction website that Ends in BAY. At the time I was looking for a sturdy boot to trudge through the icy, sloppy, new England winter in, not looking specifically for a "cowgirl" boot, but the price was unbeatable and I was curious. Here it is 2yrs later and it can be said that these boots are unbeatable and are still handsome to boot! They have been worn 5 out of 7 days per week for 3 seasons each year (would have been 4 seasons if I was 40yrs younger!).Most of my other boots and shoes are an 8.5 or euro 39. The Fatbaby boots I purchased on the auction website were an 8 and I was a little skeptical about the fit because I normally wear a size 8.5 shoe and can even go to a size 9 in a boot with thick socks on my feet. I have average width feet, not wide or narrow; I have a high arch and instep as well as a hammertoe on my left foot. (TMI?). However, the size 8 was perfect! So, I purchased these new Fatbaby Cowgirl boots in an 8, mostly because they were $20 less than the size 8.5 which I likely would have bought if the prices were the same.Once again, the size 8 fits perfectly right from the start, even in a brand new boot! These fit like a shoe approved by the American Orthopedic Association but look as fashionable (Wild?) as the Cowgirls that I imagine they were intended for! I wear these boots with medium weight wool blend socks. There is plenty of room for all my toes and there is no pressure across the top of my high instep or at the front of the boot across the ankle. I can not feel any of the seams or stitching the way other reviewers have written that they can. The back of the heel sometimes moves but does not rub or bind. The footbed is not like walking on a cloud. It is firm but comfortable and very supportive. The innersole is removeable and I can fit the semirigid type orthotics inside very comfortably if I choose to, but find orthotics are not necessary because the boot is very supportive in and of itself. The nonskid sole is not lugged and is not as thick as my first pair of Fatbaby Boots (which show absolutely no wear on the tread) but it does seem to be more than adequate. The shaft is soft and supple, not thick and rigid, fabric lined inside and suedelike finish outside. The height is just right on my leg under wool, corduroy, or denim pants. (I'm 5'6" and weigh about 140 lbs, size 10) The decorative stitching is lovely, the workmanship is high quality. The top opening is very roomy on me but I do have thinner than average calves. (Like I said, I'm no cowgirl)Great fit, Great fashion, Great performance, great price! These may be my second pair of Fatbaby Boots but I'm sure they will not be my last. Go ahead....take a walk on the Cowgirl side!
I have worn cowboy boots most of my life, however, this is the first time trying this style.I work with horses and was finding that the miles of walking I put in per day was bothering my back, knees and hips.I have had these boots for a month and put in 13- 18 hours a day on my feet. I have no pain anywhere.The quality is very good and very comfortable.I went up a half size because I wear thicker socks and the fit is good.I would recommend these boots, great deal for the price.
The quality, fit, and look of these Ariat boots are unparalleled. When I first put them on, they were a little snug on the upper part of my foot because I have a very high arch. However, I walked around my house in them for a little while 3 days in a row and they had loosened up and fit perfectly. I wore them to work the next day and didn't have to change into my backup shoes AND my feet did not hurt at the end of the day. Normally, I can't afford Ariat shoes/boots on a teacher's salary but these were under $100! I have never hit the Add to cart button so fast.
These boots fit perfectly, they are cute, sturdy, comfortable, and well-made. Wore them horseback riding and was worried they wouldn't fit in the stirrup based on what another review said, but I had no issues. Got lots of compliments. Got them muddy and had no leaks and rinsed them off, no problem.
I ordered a 6.5 because a 7 was no longer available. I generally wear between a 6 and a 7 and based on reviews a 6.5 seemed like it would work well for me and if nothing else form to fit my feet over time.Box arrived right on time and in really nice packaging, boots fit a little stiff at first but I generally wear double socks and like to break things in so that was expected. Fit and look is a little narrower than I would prefer but still super cute and functional and the toe is the perfect length. The soles are super high quality and sturdy and the toes almost feel like they are a composite material? So, exactly what I look for in a boot. They will be replacing my steel toe work boots as a daily wear boot so I am very happy with them, and the pink detailing is adorable and matches all my other pink gear 😂 I’m wearing them around the house to break them in before wearing them for an extended time. Regardless they are super comfortable and I can tell they are going to break in nicely and fit well just need to warm up to them.
The boots look like the picture. I like how wide the toe is. I wear Birkenstocks a lot. They are comfortable like that.
I went back and forth trying to decide whether to get these or not. Then I found a pair that was"used" for $30 cheaper. I figured I'll try them. I'm so happy I got them. The boots are in excellent condition. They're not high so more appropriate to wear with cropped pants or a dress. The heels are a little wide but that's how women's feet ARE. (Another reason to buy Ryka sneakers ladies). Anyway turquoise is my favorite color. These are leather. Took a little work to get into them but they stretched out fast. Very comfortable. I'll definitely be holding on to these for a long time. I purchased a size 9 which is my regular size and I'd say they run true to size. Just cute boots overall
These Boots Are Great Quality.The Design has Purple, Pink & Teal.Cushion Soles inside Bootsmake it a Comfy Fit.Heels are Nice & Sturdy.It’s Worth Every Dollar.
