Love the fit and feel of these
Hands down best boots I’ve bought.... I have two pair currently, one for work, one for date nights with the wife. I am a chef/owner of restaurants and a catering company. I am on my feet 14 plus hours a day. I have worn ‘Chef Shoes’ for the last 25 years or so... until I worn these boots one day on accident and haven’t looked back. They hold up great, they are extremely comfy and cool as well...
I recommend going 1/2 to 1 size smaller than your tennis shoe size
I really like the fit and the comfort of this product, of course these boots look great with jeans too. These can take a beating and will scuff depending on how you use/wear, everyday etc., so need a little care if you want to wear with slacks.
Boots fit great and the venting on the boot really does help keep them more comfortable to wear all day.
This was my first pair of Ariats. I love them. Use them at work, around the yard, riding the motorcycle, etc. The break-in period was brutal but most good leather boots are that way. They are just as comfortable as any other shoes that I own and I often grab these first because I can just throw them right on. I work in environmental engineering and am regularly standing in water, mud, etc. These boots aren't waterproof but they definitely are water resistant. I can stand it water above the seam for quite some time before my feet get wet.
Very comfortable and fit just as they should! Thus is my 6th pair of arait boots and araits are the only boot i will wear!! Awesome quality and last a long time!
Surprisingly comfortable boot with the rubber/synthetic soles. Been wearing these daily a work and my feet have stopped hurting. I added additional insoles to help stretch them out a little but very comfortable. This Ariat style boot tends to run a little big. I suggest trying them on in a store before buying online.
