I’ll start with it’s been years for me to be back in boots . I could never find a good fit . I would say I have a fairly narrow foot but redwing store measurement was 12D on right foot and a strong 11 1/2 D on left foot. ( I bought redwing as well )Getting foot in was a real pain , like I was thinking I’ll never get these off hard . Was really tight on instep. After they were on I’m like I hate these they are too tight. I’ll don’t return items that I bought wrong size of so I figured I’ll wear them and see. I’m so glad I did. Took 4 days of on and walking in them to loosen up. Some my fault I didn’t condition the leather ,I forgot that was needed . Now they are still tight getting on and off but either it’s stretching or I’m getting stronger 😀.At this point day 5 they have a nice pop when foot is seated and little what I would consider perfect fit heal slip . Like it only moves the tiny bit that it should. I love them . Still stiff uppers but I’m working them and I do enjoy wearing. Not putting on or taking off yet but no blisters at all .When they loosen up they are nice and soft. Once the uppers soften up and they are but I’m hand working that part it doesn’t get flexed if you don’t roll them around. I bet they will fit perfectly. The redwing 1155 I bought are easier to get on but I do like the feel of the Ariat better at this point. For the price a nice boot . I only hope the redwing gets as comfortable those were 263$ quality wise I fee redwing are better but you can get almost two pair of Ariat for not much more . I just don’t want to have to go through breaking in more is only reason for getting the other brand . Guys at farm store claim they get a good year out of wrists then another couple as The Who cares stomp around in whatever boots if you keep them conditioned. But these farmers are probably well we know they are putting these Ariat through a lot more than I will.I would say if you want to save some break in and not going to wear often maybe go half size bigger but only if your just wearing once in a while . For a everyday foot I would say get the correct size , expect them to be snug to tight at first. Everyone’s feet are different I do have a high instep foot . And on and off could only be a issue for me . In the othe boot brand I mentioned I kinda wish it was a little more snug to start with and I may have to get a 1/2 size smaller but salesperson said try these forts then if he is wrong no question asked exchange or refund it would be exchange only if I have too. If your on the fence I would say get measured and order the size of your foot and not listing to ones who say buy big or small on boots . Like me thier foot will be different than yours . They run true to size as far as I can tell. If your foot dead have a high instep it will be hard getting on and off . It is getting a lot better on the 5th day. When looking at boots the heal height can help or hurt your back. With me it kinda hurts with these but Ariat sell inserts to address this . As far as foot comfort goes I like them for my back I’ll end up with incerts. The other brand I don’t know yet but heal is different height and so far feel better on back. I do not regret buying the Ariat at all . These are just my personal opinions and trying to help someone else if I can . And I mentioned a few things I learned from boot shopping. Main thing is please get your foot measurements. Length and width. If you do that your ahead of the game . Now my sneakers feel weird to wear 😃Take care everyone
First, the boots arrived in 3 days! I put them on and wore around my home. A bit stiff but very comfortable. I can tell that these boots and I will be friends for a long time.
Good quality boots. Comfortable and the sizes are accurate
These boots are perfect for my cowboy boyfriend, the fit and quality are perfect and he is so happy with them.
Easy to put on and takeoff
Not bad
Narrow size 13 fit great. Very comfortable right out of the box.
I was impressed with the quality of craftsmanship. The boot ran true to size, but I usually go up 1/2 size but didn’t need to. Will reorder in my size now. Beautiful boot.
