The Ariat Men's Sierra Wide Square Toe Work Boot stands out in terms of comfort and stability, making it an ideal choice for long workdays. With its ATS technology, you can expect excellent support that reduces fatigue during extended wear.

The heat and abrasion-resistant Duratread outsole offer impressive traction on slippery surfaces, ensuring your safety while working. Contractors and outdoor workers will appreciate the reliable performance this boot delivers, even in harsh conditions.

User Reviews
I have had a pair of these for 6 years… and it was time for new ones. These are the best work boots I have owned.I have a few pairs of the work hogs, and these beak in easy and I wear them all day at work.Great pair of boots… fit true to size
These boots look awesome and are very sturdy. They feel great.
Looks great, good boot. I was a little upset my last pair of Ariat work boots started to come apart until I realized I had been wearing them nearly every day for 2 years. So I guess you could say it was time. These are very similar to my last. When you first get them the leather is a little tight so the fit feels a little tighter on the sides, but as anyone who has bought this style of boot knows, after about 3 days of wear, they loosen up and fit like a glove. Personally, I recommend buying a good boot oil, I get mink oil and treating them right away. No idea if Ariat recommends it or not, but it has really seemed to help my boots last and save off the water.
Overall this boot is really nice and the fit was true to fit in length and width the only complaint is the stitching on the very top of the foot is really tight and hard to break in.
I love these boots. These are my second pair of em. They are comfortable and I highly recommend em.
Ariat makes top quality shoes just like the way they sit and lasts
I've been wearing these boots casually for 5 years and I haven't had any problems. The break-in period is minimal and the fit is perfect. The orange color on the shaft is a little more bright than expected, but it is well covered by pants during use.
2nd pair I purchased so far and I found them in wide , well worth the money , my husband loved his birthday present!!
