User Reviews
I wear steel toe and composite toe boots and shoes daily, have for many years. I have had cheapos for walmart that lasted for months and expensive brand names that lasted less that that. that being said this is my second pair of Ariat composite toe boots. I read the reviews before a bought them and even got the mink oil to treat them. These look and feel great out of the box, fit well, width of the foot is great for me, height and width of the boot shaft is good too. Like any boot I've had I simply don't like the insoles so I replace them with cheap cvs dr sholes every couple months. Only complaint I have is the color of the stitching... oh well not really a complaint maybe more of a hey Ariat throw in some purple on your boots lol.
GREAT boots. Surprisingly comfortable, durable, look and feel great. However they do fit a little large, but that's to be expected with a safety toe. They look large and bulky, but with smaller women's feet this is also to be expected with a safety toe. Love them, will be buying a soft toe version when my catapillar wellingtons wear out (also a fantastic work boot, especially for women, because they come in a size as small as a men's 6!)
These boots are awesome! But when you buy anything online, you risk it not fitting quite like you hope. These are a little wide, and rub on my ankle. But I have pretty narrow feet, so it was expected. Otherwise, they are exactly what I expected!
I use these as my all-purpose boot on a horse farm. Easy to pull on to go outside and do whatever. Because of the reinforced toe, they took a little getting used to after years of wearing the Fat Baby style boots. And definitely took a couple weeks of breaking in with the stiffer leather over the whole boot and softening up where the reinforced toe ends. Was a little worried at first that they wouldn’t work out. They are surprisingly light weight, which is great, and they are really comfortable for long periods of wear. I ultimately opted for these to replace my old Ariats because they have a much better tread and sole than the Fat Baby style, and that was what I really needed - good tread. Haven’t slipped in them once. So far, they are worth the investment. These are true to size or run just slightly big. I am 8-8.5 in boots and for regular weight socks, these are comfortable as an 8.
Although I ordered a "new" pair of these boots originally, (right pair in photo) that came visibly worn as they had scuff marks on the toes, Amazon sent another pair quickly to replace the clearly used pair. I am appreciative that there was no fuss about my receiving a used pair when I paid new price and that they made it right.I like the boots, I have flat feet and I'll have to wear them in, but am excited to have a pair of boots for work. I work in a warehouse with no heating in the winter and will be happy to wear my boots this year so my feet stay warm and I like that they have a composite toe to make them safe to wear for my job.
They are too tight in the toe area and gave me blisters on the heels of my feet.
Fit was snug at first but broke in rather quickly. Comfortable to wear for 10 hrs and standing on your feet all day
boots are lightweight and comfortable. i bought a little larger size and wore thicker socks because i knew i would be on my feet all day. next time i wear them definitely wearing boot socks past the top of the boot as they did rub my calves. also fashionable to go out in as they don't look like just work boots. love them!
