Detailed Review
The Ariat Men's Tycoon Western Boot excels in providing a balance of comfort and style. The ATS technology integrated into the design ensures your feet remain supported whether you're working hard or enjoying leisure time. With a 13-inch shaft height, these boots provide excellent ankle protection without compromising flexibility.
One of the standout features is the heavy-duty Duratread outsole, which offers remarkable resistance to oil, slips, and barnyard acids, making it perfect for those who spend time in rugged environments. This boot's wide square toe allows for natural toe splay, enhancing comfort during prolonged wear.
In terms of aesthetics, the antiqued grey finish adds a touch of sophistication that transitions well from the ranch to social events. However, keep in mind that a break-in period might be required to achieve the perfect fit.

For the price these are the best boots in the market! I will be buying a second pair just to have for the future while costs are low
My feet have character...left foot almost half an inch shorter than right...right arch is high, left is super-high. I have really high arches and slightly wide feet, and usually wear a size 12 in most running/tennis shoes, mostly to compensate for wider feet since these types don't typically come in size EE. Most reviewers say to order a half size down from what you usually wear, and I agree. So ideally, I would have liked this shoe in an 11.5 EE, however, I do not think that size is made in this boot (I looked on a bunch of websites). So, I went with size 12EE, anticipating some wiggle room, and I went ahead and bought some SOLE brand shoe inserts that are moldable by heating in the oven. This worked out perfect. With the inserts, the shoe now fits comfortably, and it is a sexy as heck boot! If you're a first time boot buyer (wearer) like I am, be sure to get some boot socks as well to prevent chaffing of the calves. Also, got this on Prime, so it came as expected and free shipping to Hawaii is hard to come by, which is why I love Prime!
Bought it for my husband he is very happy. So comfortable true size. Perfect
Only Ariat will doI’m a gal that has a really high arch and and a wide foot😖 women’s boots are just too uncomfortable as they only come in a B width. So I only have been wearing Ariats men’s boots as they have technology to support my feet and are definitely wide enough.I have been wearing this style for over 10 years now I believe I’ve gone through a couple of pairsWorth the money… But they are a really good deal to
Very nice looking boot that is comfortable right out of the box. Quality seems to be good for a made in China boot. Time will tell how well they hold up. Still hate that cowboy boots are being made in China, it doesn't seem right. They seem to run large. I went down a half size from other boots and might have been able to go another half size down. But a heavier sock cures that.
I even went to the store to try them on and had a professional tell me that's the size but after asking other people I got them too small. So there too tight. Just make sure you know exactly what size you need and ask more than 1 individual before you drop $200 + dollars. Other than that the're very nice great quality and I love the design.
Great looking boots, fit slightly larger than expected. These will be your run of the mill boots, not the most comfortable boots in the world but you get exactly what you expect from a sub $200 pair of Ariats.
The square toe is a new thing for me.It allows much more room in the toe area. I believe I can use at least a size smaller. I intend to try on some of the same brand locally to determine the correct size for me before I reorder. The quality and finish of this boot seems excellent!
