Nice looking didn’t even have to break these in. Very comfortable from day one. Sturdy but don’t feel heavy
I really like these boots a lot. I generally wear a size 7 and found these a perfect fit in this size. From the box they are a little stiff but even so were very comfortable. Most of my boots are ankle height so it did take a day or so for the height to be good for me but they did not rub excessively and soon felt fine. They are easy to move in and do not feel clunky as some boots do, the weight is good. The tongue is nicely padded and stays in place, it has an elastic component that is a good feature. They look great: the leather is good quality, the stitching is perfect, and the decorative details add a very nice touch. Initially I was undecided between the driftwood and the more polished look of the the darker brown but I am very happy with the choice of driftwood. The laces could be just a tad longer as I find they do not stay tied with a simple bow but if needed this is easily and inexpensively remedied. They seem to be very well made and I expect they will last me for years.
I love the ankle support, the leather quality is "spot on", my last pair I had for 10 years - can you believe that! Wide toebox is great for me because I have a wide toe spread. The only negative for me is the arch support - I have to add a support to the boot.
These boots exceeded my expectations. As soon as I put them on, my feet felt so comfortable and supported. I had to buy them two sizes up but that’s because I have really wide, fat feet due to an illness. For the first time in months my feet were not in pain when I walked. I loved how the leather was authentic which I have come to expect from Ariat. Everything was excellent and spot on. I will definitely buy again.
Great
Ok, let me start by saying these are my first pair of Cowboy Boots and ..... I LOVETHESE BOOTS!!!! BUT the sides of them hurt my ankles, they are very stiff. From the other reviews I have read I think they will break in and get softer. Also the tips of the boots (from toes up) are 2 different colors, (my left foot is much darker than the right) which is understandable since they are leather but these were a really big difference. I didn't want to send them back because I couldn't wait to wear them and after speaking to people who have Cowboy boots I was told they will lighten up and even out. The shoe itself is very comfortable. I did buy a 1/2 size bigger cause I like my boots a little looser. They are perfect around my foot. I LOVE THE COLOR ON THE INSIDE! I would love a boot just like that! Awesome color. The boots are fabulous and I am sure I will love them more everyday I wear them. They are def lighter in color than shown here but they are still beautiful.
I have a really high arch and as much as I really needed pull on boots for work since I work with animals outside and don't like wet feet, this one has been great. My old Ariats were pull on and I have had them so long they looked terrible after all the abuse I gave them but still hung in there. Professionally I needed to look better so I tried on every pair of boots possible and still could NOT get my foot down the shaft of a boot, any of them!!! I decided to break down and get lace ups. I also worry a lot about the seams cutting into my bones as well and that would be the only thing that will need some breaking in is the stitching from the seam that rubs a little on the top of my arch but not bad at all. Other than that these shoes are pretty dang perfect. NO break in time, no blisters or sores and it has a decent insole so the lack of being able to fit my arch supports isn't as bad. In a perfect world those of us with high arches need inserts and that is impossible to find with boots anywhere, so if the boot isn't completely flat inside I have some hope for support and this one seems to be good on me so far. I did buy wide. Feet aren't sore at the end of a long working day, so mama is happy :) Thanks Ariat.
They look great online, but in person...Wow! Pictures do not give this boot justice in quality and style. I am 5'1 and wear a 5.5 shoe in most brands. I ordered the 5.5 and it fit PERFECT. Exactly how a cowboy boot should fit. (For those who are new to cowboy boots, I suggest you look up some info on how they are suppose to fit.) The shaft height and circumference is important to me since I am petite, and these fit like a dream. Aside from the looks, what impressed me the most was the comfort of the footbed and softness of the leather. I would say I have a normal width foot, and they fit as expected. A+ on style! I love all the distressed and rugged looking boots out there, but if you want a classy but sassy boot, this is the one for you! I bought the "Old Black" color. The stitching on the sides is shades of gold, rust, red, and orange. The trim at the top of the boot and down the sides is an antique gold color. The snip toe design on this boot is a show stopper! I love me a snip toe boot, and this one is hands down one of the best I've seen! Very sharp and stylish!
