User Reviews
I love the boot overall, but literally tore up my ankles 2 hours into wearing them. I had to return them to get a bigger size. Also my box showed up damaged, which isn't a big deal. The boot itself has excellent quality and good soles. Just had no clue I needed to size up.
Best Boots ever I got 2 pairs. I get through my whole day on my feet going every where in these boots.
This is my 3rd pair of Ariat boots and I love them just as much as my first 2 pairs. I had tried these on in the store before ordering so I knew the size I needed. I will say that whatever Ariat size you wear in their normal western style boots, go up a half size in the work style boots with composite toes. I normally wear an Ariat size 8.5 womens (US). In the work composite toe Ariats I wear a size 9 womens (US). These boots are super durable, light weight for a work boot, and very comfortable. I highly recommend them!
Arrived on time, boot sole is not slick. Will see how long they last with wet muddy conditions. Appreciate wide size with round composite toe style. They are warm depending on wear and tear may purchase again.
Nice looking boots. Couldn’t get my foot in past the arch. Sent them back and on to the next brand.
So, I got these in 9.5 because my Ariat paddock boots and field boots are 9.5. I would have needed a 10 in these, which is my sneaker size. So in my opinion they run small. I’ve always had issues with cowboy boots because I have big feet for a female. Ariat does not take into Consideration that just because you have “long” feet does not mean you have fat ankles or calves. These boots are huge in the ankle and calves. I literally could walk right out of these even though they are too small in the foot. I really wish ariat would take this into consideration. I really love the design and look of these boots but it’s unsafe to wear in my field of work due to being sloppy fit in the ankle and calves. I’m a mechanical technician in a power plant so I do a tremendous about of walking, climbing and crawling. You can see attached pictures of what I am talking about too much room. I gave them 2 stars only because I really liked the design of these. Unfortunately I had to send these back.
