Ariat Mens Heritage Roper Western Boot Distressed Brown 10 Review

Nice boots. Comfortable fit. Good price.

These boots are perfect for the price. Well made, comfortable and look great.

8.5Wide, foot portion fits perfectly to size. Very smooth leather with flawless construction. I have quite a high arch and it's initially been very difficult to insert my foot through the neck of the boot, but once on the fit and feel is as good as I could have hoped for. There seems to be no break-in needed once the boot is on. I have numerous pairs of regular cowboy boots.

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.

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

Great boots, very comfortable even for big and wide feet! Definitely recommend

These Boots are everything!! I was a bit nervous at first buying a pair of Cowboy boots without having to try them on first, especially after my wife (who is a pro Cowgirl boot enthusiast) told me you have to try on the boots first, because they can either fit you like a glove or you’re gonna regret buying them whether they’re too big or too snug. About two weeks ago we drove down to Knoxville Tennessee, in the Pigeon Forge area. Before driving down I told myself I was going to get a pair of boots. And I did, but I learned a huge lesson, and that is, if you’re going to buy boots, try both on first. I tried one on and it fit me perfectly, now the way they had them set up the boots were out of the box and were all set up on shelves, i checked the size of the boots I got to make sure there wasn’t any mixed sizes, once I got to my hotel room i put both on and realized that one boot was made a bit bigger than the other, which was pretty frustrating to say the least because it was my first pair of cowboy boots and I was excited to wear them, but unfortunately I cant, knowing that while one foot is secured in a boot the other pops out dramatically while I walk. I needed my cowboy boot fix and I needed it fast. After doing research on different sites and reading reviews on boots I came across the Ariat. I instantly fell in the love with the look, it was simple, rugged, stylish, it was exactly what ive been looking for. After reading the other reviews there were more positives than negatives which definitely helped with my decision. But I was a bit sceptical because of the boot fitting issues some complained about, the last thing I wanted was to have another disappointment on my hands. But I decided to go with it and if I wasn’t satisfied I’d just return them. I ordered my boots on Saturday they were delivered that Monday fast Shipping is a plus! Once I got home, put these bad boys on, at first they were a bit snug putting on, but once that pop went off the boots and I were one! I love these boots! Best believe I will be getting another pair when that time comes! But for now I’m going to enjoy these boots!! Just a tip make sure you dont get fooled by half sizes, go by the size that you are in shoes, because Im a 9 and these boots are a 9 and it’s perfect but be aware if you have wide feet then you have to cater to that as well

On a positive note the package arrived a day early. However, I submitted a request for black boots as per the photo and received brown. I submitted a request for new boots and received used footwear. The brown boots were scuffed across the toe and worn on the sides and the leather had a cracked finish instead of polished one. The boots were ordered in time for a function on Friday, February 9. Now, the boots I paid good money for won't be on my feet come Friday. I am HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED. I'm not interested in a refund if the right boots can be received by Friday, February 9. Is it asking to much to received what one pays for?
